Justin Bieber has dropped a preview of his new single “Recovery” ahead of its scheduled midnight premiere.
After understandably getting his days mixed up while hyping up his fourth “Music Mondays” single, the 19-year-old posted an Instagram video on Twitter earlier today (Oct. 27).
From the brief tease, “Recovery” continues Bieber’s unflinching, emotional trek through his personal life with a mid-tempo R&B song that moves the story on from his previous singles “Heartbreaker,” “All That Matters,” and “Hold Tight.”
Where “Heartbreaker” seemed to trace the first relationship break leaving the singer declaring “I still believe in us”, “All That Matters” asked “What’s a king bed without a queen?,” while “Hold Tight” got downright erotic with lyrics such as, “That thing is swollen, you got me oh so in a trance.”
In contrast, “Recovery” finds Bieber in apologetic, almost spiritual mood.
Produced by The Audibles delivering a sub-beat with shades of Jay Z’s “Tom Ford,” finger clicks, and either acoustic guitar or synth replica, the Canadian admits,
“First I’ll acknowledge our trust has been broken / a successful recovery I prayed for us at night.”
