Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber attend the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Justin and Hailey Bieber haven’t been shy about sharing the struggles in their relationship and in a new interview, Justin, 28, has opened up about his initial outlook on his marriage to his wife. The couple wed in 2018, and since that time, they have often taken to interviews to share intimate details about their love life.

During a new interview, Bieber revealed that when he went into his marriage, he believed that it would be the solution to life’s issues.

“It’s a journey. I remember when I first got married, I hit a little bit of an emotional breakdown because I thought marriage was going to fix all my problems and it didn’t,” Bieber said. “It just kind of was a reflection of like, man, you’re a bit of a hypocrite man.”

“You want your wife to do something that you’re not doing and it’s like, it’s hard sometimes to look in the mirror and really have to realize, man, maybe you’re not the person that you necessarily thought that you were,” he added. “And that’s just a result of trauma and life circumstances, but for me obviously, I’ve been super public about my faith journey and how my relationship with Jesus has helped me to just not be so hard on myself. Just the idea that I’m forgiven and that he’s walking me through this journey and day by day I get to just get better and better and not be too hard on myself.”

Justin Bieber’s 6 Best Songs Of All Time Ranked

  • 6. Love Yourself

    A more serious of Bieber’s song, we love how the choreography for the music video for “Love Yourself” tells the story like a short film. Our favorite line in the song is, “My mama don’t like you and she likes everyone.” Ironically, the song was apparently written about his ex, Selena Gomez. The lyrics detail his narcissistic ex-lover. The song was written by Ed Sheeran, Benny Blanco (Selena’s current boyfriend) and Justin. Sheeran originally wrote the song for himself, but after hearing Justin’s smooth tones, he knew he was the perfect fit.

  • 5. Somebody To Love Remix feat. Usher

    Add Usher to a Justin Bieber song and you have a guaranteed song that will make you dance. In the 2010 song, Bieber and his mentor sing about trying to find the perfect lady. The song was originally recorded as a demo by Usher for his sixth studio album, Raymond v. Raymond, but it was given to Bieber after things went stale with Usher’s label. Usher re-recorded featured vocals for the official remix of the song. The accompanying playful music video features appearances from several dance crews from America’s Best Dance Crew, such as Beat Freaks and Poreotics.

  • 4. Peaches feat. Daniel Caesar, Giveon

    “Peaches” is an ode to different regions of the US, with Georgia and its famous peaches being the central focus. With Justin’s career success beginning in Atlanta, the song, featured on the artist’s sixth album, Justice, is also the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr, who features prominently on the album. The laid-back pop, R&B, and pop soul ballad has an equally laid-back vibe in the music video. Bieber, Caesar, and Giveon drive a vintage car as they cruise down city streets illuminated by neon lights.

  • 3. No Sense ft. Travis Scott

    One of his more underrated songs, this collaboration with Travis Scott is a slower, sexier tune than we’re used to. It samples It samples SWV’s 1997 track, “Rain.” From his fourth studio album, Purpose, this is the second collab between the singer and the rapper. The first being “Maria I’m Drunk” from Travi$‘ debut album, Rodeo. Dating back to 2015, Scott helped promote Justin’s “What Do You Mean?,” and the two artists became close friends.

  • 2. Where Are Ü Now with Skrillex & Diplo

    This 2015 song has been remixed so many times by different EDM artists, but what is more impressive is the longevity of airplay “Where Are Ü Now” still gets. The Grammy-winning collaborative dance track with Skrillex and Diplo is a Bieber ballad turned forward-looking EDM anthem. As Justin was 21 at the time, Diplo said he came to Vegas one night the DJ played the track for the audience. Bieber told him then that it was the “first time I’ve ever had adults clap for me. This is like a big deal.”

  • 1. Sorry

    Arguably his best song to date, “Sorry” finds the singer saying sorry to his lost love and asking for a second chance. The 2015 song’s dancehall beat was produced by Skrillex, whom Bieber collabed with on the hit single “Where Are Ü Now.” Regarding his will to work with the producer, Bieber called Skrillex is a “genius. He’s super futuristic and I just love his sounds.” It’s not too late to say “Sorry” for loving this track, so it makes our number one spot on the list.
