The highly-publicized Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez break up is about to get a lot more publicity thanks to a new acoustic song written by the singer.
The new song, entitled “Nothing Like Us,” will debut on his new acoustic album Believe Acoustic dropping tomorrow, January 29. The album has eight re-worked tracks from Believe, which debuted last year, and three entirely new tunes including the Bieber/Gomez track.
Listen to the Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez break up song:
In a new Billboard cover story, Bieber reveals that the song came from his break up and says things haven’t gotten any easier. “I’m not in the happiest place that I’ve ever been. I’m trying to get through what I’m going through. Like I said, I have my really close friends to cheer me up and keep me going,” he said.
The interviewer also brought up to Bieber that Believe: Acoustic is expected to be his fifth number one album, which is record breaking for any artist around his age. How’s he feel about that honor? “I feel blessed that I’m able to do what I love for a living. I can support my family. I grew up without a lot. I remember ordering food off the menu with my mom and we’d have to share because we couldn’t afford more. I love performing. When I go onstage and I see these people? That’s what I do it for.”
Elsewhere in the interview Bieber stirs up a little controversy by saying that he’s pulling for Chris Brown at the Grammy Awards, and thinks “that’s what [the public] should focus on: the music,” referring to Brown’s recent run-ins with trouble.
