‘Sorry:’ Justin Bieber Teases Emotional Acoustic Snippet Of New Single & More Music


Justin Bieber is coming for weaves with his upcoming single, “Sorry.”

The pop prince’s collaboration with EDM wizards Skrillex and Blood Diamonds officially drops this Friday (October 23), and the Biebs has unwrapped another tease of his new song, and even more new music.

On Tuesday, Justin surprised fans when he dropped a 13-second acoustic snippet of “Sorry,” with the caption, “Who is ready for #sorry?? I am @Skrillex @bloodpop #3days #purpose,” along with flight icons indicating he was leaving the U.S. He is now in the U.K.

In the clip, the hoodie-clad heartthrob brings to life the tableau he shared hours before of him and Blood Diamond (seen quietly rocking out beside the Biebs), while sitting on a sofa next to Skrillex, who plays a guitar.

“Is it too late now to say sorry? / Because I’m missing more than just your body yeah / Is it too late now to say sorry?” Justin sings beautifully in the video, with palpable emotion.

The new teaser will undoubtedly spark speculation that the Canadian’s upcoming single is an ode to ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. The infamously roller coaster couple split up last September, possibly ending their much-scrutinized on-again, off-again four-year relationship for good.

Selena released her well-received, maturer Revival album on October 9. There are numerous songs about her romance with Justin appear on the LP, which is currently No. l on Billboard’s 200 album chart.

Meanwhile, the Biebs is preparing to land his highly anticipated album, Purpose, on November 13. “Sorry” will be the second single from the record, following the worldwide, record-breaking smash “What Do You Mean?”

Both stars have spoken about each other during their respective promo runs. Selena previously said of Justin, “I’ll forever support him and love him in a way,” and “I respect him. And I think he respects me, in a healthy manner.” She has also referred to him as her “first love.”

In a recent in-depth interview with Refinery29, the starlet shared, “At this point, there is no anger. There’s closure in a very good, healthy way.”

She continued, “We’ve seen each other. I’m always encouraging, and I am proud of his journey. I think people are making it out to be something that is more tragic than it really was,” concluding, “We grew up together. We both made mistakes. That’s it.”

For his part, Justin told Complex magazine that his romance with Selena was too intense for them when they got together as teenagers. “It was a marriage kind of thing. Living with a girl, it was just too much at that age. But we were so in love. Nothing else mattered. We were all about each other,” he said.

He explained, “But when it’s like that and you get your value from that, people will always disappoint you. Your girl or your dude, they’re always going to disappoint you.”

Speculation about the exes kicked off again after a duet between both singers was played on Ovo Sound Radio late Saturday. Titled “Strong,” the guitar-drenched R&B mid-tempo sees the pair trading regretful lyrics about a long-distance relationship. It was quickly deleted from Soundcloud and YouTube uploads following a copyright claim by Universal Music Group.

Despite rumors that the track made the cut on Purpose, an informed source told Gossip Cop that Justin and Selena “recorded it over three years ago, just for fun when they were still a couple.” The insider said “It was never meant to be heard,” adding, “It will not appear on any upcoming album.”

Back to “Sorry.” The Biebs’ acoustic snippet was followed late Tuesday by a series of clips of Justin singing new music, which may be tasters from his album. Vine star Rudy Mancuso accompanies on keyboards.

Another section of the untitled song can be heard in the teaser below.

Mancuso shared a second song with Bieber, possibly titled “Falling,” which he subsequently deleted from his Instagram account. The official Twitter for the new camcorder app reposted it.

On Monday, Bieber pal, Vine star King Bach, shared a funny video featuring the First Lady, Michelle Obama, and a bunch of famous Viners hamming it up at the White House with “Sorry” playing in the background. The video was later retweeted by Justin and the FLOTUS.

Justin put the pre-order link for the album last Thursday at midnight, finishing a later Twitter spree with posts kicking off a seven-day countdown to the single. More promo tweets followed on Sunday to now, with the singer musing in one whether “Sorry” will be his “biggest one yet?”

The first preview of “Sorry” arrived when the Biebs shared two Instagram videos a week ago. The two clips showed Bieber going through dance moves with choreographer Nick DeMoura while the pulsing tribal beat-EDM-influenced track is heard as playback.

Evident excitement for the single from Justin Bieber fans powered the song to the top of Billboard’s Trending 140 Chart on Monday and Tuesday.

Blood Diamond, and members of Team Bieber/Scooter Braun, also tweeted about “Sorry,” which Justin retweeted.

There are now just two days left until the new single arrives. Are you ready to make it fly Beliebers?
