Justin Bieber just dropped his newest single, “Sorry,” off his upcoming album, "Purpose". And based on the lyrics, it seems like it’s about his ex, Selena Gomez. He’s even begging for a “second chance” in one of the verses.
After many teases, video snippets and black and white countdown photos, the 21-year-old finally unleashed his second single, “Sorry,” on October 22, Thursday, and Beliebers may never be the same again.
The song's about begging for forgiveness from a lover, but it doesn't take much of a leap to apply its lyrics to Bieber's career.
"And let me oh let me / redeem oh redeem oh myself tonight / 'cause I just need one more shot at second chances." Is he singing to Selena? It seems like Bieber isn't done apologizing for his bratty history, and it's still paying musical dividends.
It's coming complete with a "dance video" on YouTube, which apparently just means the video's full of skilled dancing and nothing else.
The song was co-written and produced by Skrillex and Blood Diamonds, among others, and it has the same laid-back, tropical feel that propelled "What Do You Mean?" to #1 on the Billboard charts a few weeks ago.
Though this is the only song Justin has “officially” leaked this week, it isn’t the first bit of new music fans have heard from him in the last couple of days.
Actually, fans around the world had a collective heart attack on October 17, when a duet, which Justin recorded with Selena, hit the web and just so happened to be sexy and beautiful.
The song, called “Strong,” definitely seems to reflect Justin and Selena’s tumultuous relationship, detailing a love which once was. However, fans might want to take a breather because it may have actually been recorded up to three years ago, according to a report. In fact, the song was never even meant to be released and leaked onto the web “by accident.”
Justin Bieber's new album, Purpose, will drop in full on November 13.
