Justin Bieber recently gave fans a sneak peek of his upcoming music and opened up about feeling “vulnerable as hell” during a live stream.
For the past few days, the singer has been streaming on Twitch, sharing glimpses of his daily life, from playing basketball to spending time with friends and working in the studio. Among these moments, he has revealed snippets of unreleased tracks, including backing tracks and freestyle sessions to explore potential lyrics.
During the stream, Bieber candidly discussed the anxiety he experiences when sharing these more personal moments. “Going on Twitch feels incredibly vulnerable because there are people who project their own insecurities and leave nasty comments,” he explained. “It’s difficult enough to put yourself out there, and then you have to deal with all that negativity.”
He recalled a specific comment he read after a tiring basketball game that bothered him. “Someone said, ‘Justin is not as exuberant. He will never be his exuberant self again. He’s lost his charisma.’ I was like, ‘What? I just played basketball and I’m tired!’” Bieber reflected on how such remarks can affect his mindset, saying, “Even if a million people say nice things, it only takes one negative comment to get under your skin.”

Bieber is making a notable return to the music scene and is set to headline Coachella next April, reportedly earning $10 million for his performances over two weekends (April 11 and April 18). This marks his first live performance in the U.S. since his 2022 Justice world tour, with his latest appearance taking place in July 2024 at a pre-wedding event in Mumbai, for which he was also paid significantly.
He recently surprised fans with the release of his album Swag, the follow-up to 2021’s Justice, and shared its sequel, Swag II, earlier this month.
In other news, Bieber recently voiced his frustration over “gossip” and “lies” about his personal life following his appearance at Coachella 2025. Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran revealed that his song “Camera” almost featured a collaboration with Bieber.
