The 25-year-old, who found fame as a baby-faced
teenager, told fans last month he would release his fifth studio
album in 2020, his first since 2015's "Purpose".
Bieber's new R&B single "Yummy" appears to pay tribute to his
model wife Hailey Baldwin, whom he married for a second time
last year, with lyrics such as "I'm elated that you are my lady"
and "You got that yummy-yum".
Bieber, who pulled out of his 2017 "Purpose" world tour saying
he needed rest, last year took to Instagram to talk about his
struggles with "deep-rooted issues" saying he was putting new
music on hold.
"As humans we are imperfect. My past, my mistakes, all the
things that I’ve been through, I believe that I’m right where
I’m supposed to be and God has me right where he wants me,"
Bieber said in a video last week, in which he also listed dates
for a North American tour.
"I feel like this is different than the previous albums just
because of where I’m at in my life."
While "Yummy" is his first solo single in a while, Bieber has
collaborated with others, including DJ Khaled and Ed Sheeran, on
different records in the last few years.
Earlier this week, YouTube - where Bieber first found fame as a
13-year-old - said a 10-part documentary series "Justin Bieber:
Seasons", in which the "Baby" and "Sorry" singer talks about his
new album and personal life, would launch on the video platform
on Jan. 27.
