2025 could be looking peachy for Beliebers. Almost two years after he cancelled all dates on his Justice world tour amid his struggle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, rumours Justin Bieber is gearing up for his musical comeback have been hitting the internet thick and fast.

The singer’s most recent release was 2021’s Justice, with his only projects since being collaborations with SZA and Don Toliver. However, fans may not have to wait too much longer for new tunes.

On January 18, Justin uploaded a series pictures of himself to Instagram, in which he can be seen singing, with headphones on and a mic in hand. Per Billboard, the upload came a day after Justin teased a clip of himself bopping his head to a choppy, unnamed track via his Instagram story.

Naturally, this got fans amped up, and it’s not the only indicator Justin—who became a father at the end of last year—is about to enter a new era of his career.

Is Justin Bieber Releasing Music In 2025?

In his What I’m Hearing newsletter, Puck News’ Matthew Belloni claimed to have heard that Justin is due for a comeback.

“Bieber hasn’t toured or released new music in more than two years, citing health issues,’ Belloni wrote as part of his annual predictions for Hollywood in 2025. “During that time, he fired most of his team, cut ties with longtime manager/business partner Scooter Braun, and started posting bizarre stuff on social media, sparking rumours about whether he’ll ever return to the stage.”

Belloni added: “But now, despite the [US]$200 million sale of his catalog in 2023, I’m told Bieber needs the money and wants to work. (He still owes AEG a ton for his canceled tour, among other pop star expenses.)”

Despite this, Justin himself hasn’t explicitly confirmed anything himself. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any info, though—so watch here for updates!
