Justin Bieber has been in the limelight throughout his formative years into where he's at now. While it's strange to be in the public eye at such a young age, he has grown up to be the young man he is today while we watched his growth as both a person and an artist.Through his teenage years, he was making his way through the industry making pop singles that drew in the massive fanbase that for the most part, has stayed by his side. As his album Purpose came out in 2015, it was a huge leap for the young artist but it proved that he was capable of making genuine music. With the strength of picking some great producers and showcasing his own talent as a singer and musician, he turned many into fans.

Today, he drops off his latest song "Friends" alongside producer Bloodpop. Bieber takes the cringeful question of "can we be friends?" and made it into a catchy hook. While many might still feel a way about their ex, Bieber isn't shy from letting one of them know that he still wants to maintain a relationship. 

While the single was premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats1 show, "Friends" is now finally available on all streaming platforms. It's a single that will probably work for him in the way "Sorry" or "What Do You Mean" did and infiltrate the clubs and the radio and probably everywhere else. It's another single under Bieber's belt that will do well.

With BloodPop on the beat, he takes an electronic beat that has the capabilities of standing on it's own and putting his spin on it. Bieber and BloodPop are no strangers either, the latter had production credits on five songs on the former's last album including the two main singles "Sorry" and "What Do You Mean?"

Hopefully, this is a sign that Bieber has a new project on the way. 

Quotable Lyrics
Wonderin' if you got a body
To hold you tight since I left
Wonderin' if you think about me
Actually, don't answer that
