Not only does the 21-year-old look amazingly good, he now opens up  about his relationship with Hailey Baldwin, a number of the errors he is made alongside his journey, the actual inspiration behind his hit single “Sorry.”

When the tune first came out, there have been stories that it was a private apology for a few of Bieber’s earlier errors—however Bieber reveals that is really not the case. “People ran with that,” he says. “That I was like, apologizing with that song and stuff. It really had nothing to do with that. … It was about a girl.” (We have a fairly good guess of who that woman may be.)

But that does not imply Bieber is not conscious of his previous transgressions: “Everyone when they start growing up realizes, ‘Man, I did some dumb shit when I was younger. It’s not just me…If I could go back I wouldn’t really change much. I think it’s all my journey. That stuff made me who I am.”
