Justin Bieber first captured hearts and ears as a teen heartthrob with infectious pop hits, but he’s become a much more mature artist since his debut. The singer has released a slew of popular albums, collaborated with top musicians, launched a fashion line, and has a burgeoning acting career. He’s also had some trouble with the law and his romantic relationships have been a source of constant tabloid drama.
But despite all of the negative press, the 25-year-old has continued to release hit songs and create memorable music videos. From a young age, Bieber has worked hard to stay in control of his image and has been successful in doing so for the most part. The Canadian singer is now one of the biggest superstars in the world and continues to tour around the globe.
Throughout his career, Bieber has created a wide variety of music videos that showcase different aspects of his personality and style. From the very first song he ever recorded, “One Time,” to his most recent project, Justice, the star has made many unforgettable visuals.
From his very first single, the video for “One Time” has a feel to it that captures the singer’s youthful spirit. It’s simple yet stunning with a mix of overhead and tracking shots that accentuate the natural beauty of Iceland. The video marks a transition point in his career, as Bieber starts to gain more freedom over how he wants to portray himself to the public.
With his sophomore album, Purpose, in 2015, the young superstar found a wider audience than his typical teen fan base with hits like “Where Are U Now” and “Ultralight.” The follow-up, Changes, was an even more mature effort, and its corresponding video, featuring American dance crews such as season-five winner Poreotics and season three runner-up Beat Freaks, is a testament to the singer’s ever-growing versatility.
After taking a hiatus from his musical career, Bieber returned with an album of soulful, acoustic tunes in 2021. The aptly titled Justice featured a plethora of guest artists, producers, and writers, making a song like the mellow, emotional “Lifetime” stand out. The video for the track is a sweet ode to his wife Hailey Baldwin, and shows that even in the most turbulent times, he knows what’s most important in life.
