Justin Bieber is fueling speculation about a musical comeback, and fans are more excited than ever.
Over the weekend, the pop star took to Instagram to share new photos that seem to hint at a fresh musical project. The images, taken by photographer Rory Kramer, show the 30-year-old singer in a recording studio, wearing headphones and holding a microphone, fully immersed in the music-making process. One of the shots even features Bieber focused on a music editing software, intensifying rumors that new music might be in the works.
Earlier in the week, Bieber posted a 24-second demo featuring raw, raspy vocals and an acoustic guitar, where he sings the line, “Shakin’ off the hate.” Fans quickly speculated that it could be a sneak peek of his next big hit, reigniting excitement for the artist’s return to the spotlight.
These recent posts add to a string of hints that have surfaced over the past few months. Back in October, Bieber shared more studio photos, just after producer Mk.gee revealed that he had been working with the singer. “He’s searching… Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music,” Mk.gee told The New York Times.
If Bieber does release new music, it would mark his first album since Justice in 2021, which featured massive hits like Holy and Peaches. In the time since, he’s stayed in the public eye with several high-profile collaborations, including tracks with SZA (Snooze) and Don Toliver (Private Landing).
With the frequent teases on social media, the recent demo, and his split from longtime manager Scooter Braun, it’s clear that Bieber may be preparing for a new chapter in his career. Fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next from the pop superstar, who seems ready to return to the music scene with a fresh wave of energy and creativity.
