Believe was the third album from Justin Bieber released in 2012, which served as a follow-up to his breakthrough debut albums, My World in 2009 and My World 2.0 in 2010. While I have loved a lot of the music he made after  Believe  and I have loved seeing his growth and evolution through the years, I will always consider this to be the best album Justin has ever released. He was absolutely in his prime during this album cycle and it was just such a fun time to be a fan. I played Believe on repeat for years and was the soundtrack of my life when I was thirteen years old. There are so many classics that hold so many memories for me. Some of his biggest hits came from this album, like "Boyfriend", "As Long As You Love Me", "Beauty and a Beat", and "Die In Your Arms", to name a few, all of which are still some of my favorite songs of his to this day. Believe also has a stacked lineup of featuring artists, like Nicki Minaj, Drake, Ludacris, and Bi...

Released in May 2020, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber 's collaborative charity single, "Stuck With U", is a cute and optimistic love song about being stuck inside with someone you love. The track has a soft doo-wop vibe, making it feel nostalgic and comforting, which perfectly fit the time it was released. "So, lock the door and throw out the key, can't fight this no more, it's just you and me," they sing in the chorus. "And there's nothin' I, nothin' I, I can do, I'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you". Originally written as a solo track, Ariana came up with the idea to add Justin to the song, turning it into a duet that became an instant hit. It became Justin's sixth and Ariana's third number one single, also joining their long list of songs that have surpassed a billion streams . "We just wanted to make something fun that also helps and kind of makes people feel less alone and be hopefully somewhat ...

The release of Justin Bieber 's My World 2.0 was a defining moment in pop culture history and signified the birth of one of the biggest phenomenon's the music industry has ever seen. My World 2.0  had an undeniable impact on music trends of the early 2010s and truly solidified him as the voice of a new generation. His career took off at lightning speed, propelling a then 16-year-old boy from a small town in Canada to a global sensation overnight.  My World 2.0  was Justin's first full length album, following the release of his debut EP called My World a few months prior in late 2009. Looking back on the release of My World 2.0 15 years later, I'm reminded of just how clear it was, even way back in 2010, that Justin was such a mega talent that had such a bright career ahead of him. To have a vocal range and an undeniable stage presence like he had at that age is so rare and a talent that has only continued to grow in the years to follow.  Justin's origin story i...

Justin Bieber 's  Under The Mistletoe  features several original holiday songs, as well as covers of Christmas classics with a unique twist. I love the way so much of his personality and musical influences is within this music too, with blends of pop and R&B. There is also so much whimsy and joy for the season embedded into every single song. The album was inspired by his personal favorite holiday music and the artists that made them. "I just picked my favorite Christmas songs. I picked 'Silent Night,' I picked 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,' because everyone loves those songs. Those are classics," Justin told  MTV News in 2011. "And then, for songs that we wrote, we wanted to make enough new songs for people to hear new music and not just hear some classics. There's a lot of new stuff on there." This album also features several collaborations throughout, some of which were interesting creative decisions that many probably wouldn't h...

Justice is the sixth album by Justin Bieber , released in 2021 , the follow up to Changes the year before. It is one of his strongest releases yet, full of moments that are among the best of his career thus far.  As a whole, it builds upon the foundation he set in place with the R&B focused  Changes  really well and even greatly expanded upon some of the parts of that record that were lacking. Justice also spawned many big hits for him, the inescapably infectious "Peaches (featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon)" is one the highlights from this album. "Ghost", "Lonely (featuring Benny Blanco), and "Holy (featuring Chance The Rapper)" are among some of the other hits that captured a more introspective side of Justin's artistry. Even though  Justice  is known for some of the bigger hits that came from the album, some of my personal favorites are definitely some of the deeper cuts like "Somebody", "Die For You (featuring Dominic Fike)...

Changes is a beautiful representation of the new phase in Justin Bieber 's life following a five-year hiatus from music. Released on Valentine's Day in 2020 , this album largely serves as a musical ode to his wife, Hailey . Every single song serves as a profession of his love for her and their new life together in their first year of marriage. Their relationship is at the center of this entire album, as well as a glimpse into his life in the years following his previous release, Purpose , in 2015. It is a very honest and sweet reflection of the man he is and who he is working to become.  "As humans, we are imperfect," Justin said in an announcement video for his YouTube docuseries Seasons , which documented the creation of Changes . "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. I feel like this is different than the previous albums just because of...
