When Justin Bieber released his debut album My World 2.0 in 2010, he was a bashful 16-year-old YouTuber with sideswept bangs and teen-idol magnetism. What a decade it\u2019s been. \u201cI definitely have grown up in front of the world,\u201d he says, which feels like an understatement when you consider how he\u2019s also helped to shape it\u2014crossing genres, borders, and language barriers long before that became standard practice for modern pop. In early 2019, he hit a breaking point and announced a hiatus from music, citing a need to work on \u201cdeep-rooted issues\u201d and saying he wanted to focus on being a better husband to his new wife Hailey Baldwin. His confessional fifth album Changes is an arms-wide-open tribute to her, as well as to his faith, and describes the healing he found from each.<\/p>\n

The album is more than the end of an era\u2014to Justin as rebellious playboy and pop maximalist\u2014it also marks the beginning of a more focused, settled life. \u201cNever thought I could ever be loyal to someone other than myself,\u201d he sings on opener \u201cAll Around Me,\u201d a clear-eyed pledge of commitment and luxury comforts, backed by delicate strings (most of the album was produced by his longtime collaborator Jason “Poo Bear\u201d Boyd). On the piano ballad \u201cConfirmation,\u201d he praises the importance of slowing down and being present: \u201cSo quick to move forward, no pressure\/And we got the rest, got the rest, got the rest of our lives.\u201d Although there are occasional nods to his slick R&B past (the bedroom cut \u201cYummy,\u201d the flirtatious \u201cIntentions\u201d featuring Quavo), the majority of the album is acoustic, romantic, and spiritual.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t easy for the singer to regain his confidence and clarity. “I was dealing with a lot of fear,\u201d he says. \u201cWhat am I going to talk about again? [How] is it going to be received?\u201d A turning point came when he performed with Ariana Grande at the 2019 Coachella music festival as her surprise guest. \u201cI saw how people reacted when I went onstage. It gave me a boost of confidence and reminded me, \u2018Oh, this is what I do. This is what I’m good at. I don’t need to run away from it.\u2019 I was running away. But when something’s hard, it\u2019s almost like we need to run towards the pain and run towards the hurt rather than run away from it. That\u2019s when I think you get healing.\u201d
