Justin Bieber Said to Be ‘Shocked’ People Misunderstood His Instagram Update About New Music

Justin Bieber made headlines this week for a posting a rare, lengthy comment on Instagram explaining why he was taking a break from music in order to prioritize his mental health and his marriage to Hailey Baldwin. Sources close to Bieber told The Blast that Bieber was “shocked” by the reaction, especially that people believed he would no longer be putting out new music. He will have a new album out this year, sources made clear.

The sources close to Bieber said he was trying to tell the public that his new music is coming soon but isn’t ready quite yet and that he will only tour “when he feels comfortable with his ability to give it his all,” the outlet said.

While Bieber is getting treatment for his mental health, he’s still also in the studio working on his next project. As Bieber said himself in the post, “I will come with a kick ass album ASAP, my swag is undeniable and my drive is indescribable.”

Here’s what he wrote in full, for reference:

So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album .. I’ve toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realized and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don’t deserve that and you don’t deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour. I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be. Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health. I will come with a kick ass album ASAP, my swag is undeniable and my drive is indescribable his love is supernatural his grace is that reliable…. the top is where I reside period whether I make music or not the king said so. 👑 but I will come with a vengeance believe that.. (grammar and punctuation will be terrible pretend it’s a text where u just don’t care).
