Justin Bieber Previews Trippy, Stripped-Down New Song Snippet About Shaking Off the Hate

Justin Bieber previewed a trippy, stripped-down snippet of a new song in which he sings about 'shakin' off the hate.'

The clip was preceded by a brief infrared video of the singer bobbing his head to an ominous-sounding, chopped-and-screwed track, which funneled into footage of Bieber — shown from behind in a hoodie that initially obscures his face — nodding along to what sounded like a rough demo. Elsewhere, he communed with an impressively antlered buck to Sleepy Hallow’s “Call Me,” while another clip that looked like footage from his recent holiday get-away in Aspen, CO with wife Hailey and their infant son, Jack Blues, with Bieber swinging the camera around to the strains of Playboi Carti’s “Cancun.” The reel ended with a pull-out image of Bieber in full winter regalia — black snow pants, boots, a purple hoodie, black vest, knee-length striped scarf and pink wool hat — talking on his phone while listening to NAV, Cash Cobain and Bay Swag’s “6AM Thoughts.” A final slide was a re-post of a viral video of a salty young man on a bus raising his eyebrows to the strains of 1990s R&B crooner Tevin Campbell’s 1993 slow jam classic “Can We Talk.”
