Are We Getting New Music From Justin Bieber?

Justin Bieber's fans are buzzing with anticipation as the pop sensation drops hints of a potential musical comeback. The 29-year-old heartthrob recently treated his followers to a glimpse behind the scenes through a series of Instagram photos, leaving them speculating about a new project in the works.

In two distinct Instagram carousels, the 'Baby' crooner shared snapshots of himself immersed in the studio and belting out tunes on a microphone alongside his bandmates. Instagram's official account chimed in with a celebratory "Justin's back 🥳" on one set of photos.

Fans couldn't help but wonder if Bieber was gearing up for a Super Bowl performance. This speculation isn't entirely baseless, given that his mentor and collaborator Usher is slated to headline the halftime show.

Before this week's musical teasers, the singer appeared to be directing his focus beyond the realm of music. He recently joined forces with Drew House and Adidas for a collaboration on this year's NHL All-Star jerseys. The collaboration, described in a press release earlier this month, aims to seamlessly blend culturally relevant streetwear with the rich traditions of individual NHL teams, incorporating unique team shoulder patches.

The journey back to the studio hasn't been without its challenges for Bieber. A diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome in June 2022 prompted the postponement and eventual cancellation of the remaining dates on his 'Justice World Tour.' In a heartfelt statement shared on his Instagram Story in September 2022, Bieber opened up about his battle with the syndrome, which left part of his face temporarily paralyzed.

Despite receiving medical clearance to resume the tour in Europe after the Brazil shows in July, Bieber felt compelled to halt his musical journey. The toll of the illness, both physically and emotionally, became apparent, leading him to prioritize his health. Bieber expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support and prayers, assuring them that he'll be back but needs time to rest and recover.
