Somehow, after Bieber won over the hearts of teen girls everywhere, he lost us. Maybe it was his newly developed criminal record or that awful time he tried out hip hop. Maybe it was his bleach blonde hair? Or his baby daddy rumors and his deposition below:
Stage One
March 2015 : The Roast of Justin Bieber
Comedy Central, you did it again. Bieber took the jokes like a champ and even made fun of himself. With a celebrity roast panel made up of people like Snoop Dog and Martha Stewart, the jokes were endless. His pet monkey even made an appearance.
April 2015 : "Where Are Ü Now" debuts
When it started playing on the radio, you had to look up who the artist was. Diplo and Skrillex, and who? You were shocked to hear Bieber hit the EDM scene and even more confused when you found yourself singing it in the shower. The big yellow " Ü " on the single cover and accompanied by the trippy music video.
Stage Two
August 2015: "What Do You Mean" debuts
First song from his new album is released! You loved the message and catchy tune. You saw him cry on the VMAs, and you fell in love all over again. The lyrics are forever engraved in your mind.
Early October: Naked Pics in Bora Bora
Really no explanation on how this made you have "Bieber Fever" again is needed.
Stage 3
Late October 2015: "Sorry" debuts
The second single from his album had you wanting to be one of the dancers in the video. Everything about the song, you loved.
November 9-13 2015: Bieber Week on "The Ellen Show"
A whole week on "Ellen"? It's never been done before but Justin's wit and charm shined through again. He answered all Ellen's questions that we've all been dying to ask, and played pranks with her.
November 2015: "Purpose" is released
You pre-ordered. You listened to it on repeat in till you knew all the lyrics. Then came more music videos, and his tour tickets went on sale. You waited online trying to get the best seats. Just like your middle school self, you are obsessed with him.
And that's how you became a "Belieber" again.
Oh and by the way, we know "Sorry" is about Selena, Justin. You're not fooling anyone.
