On Thursday, Justin Bieber dropped an intimate new music video for his song “Anyone (On The Road)” that features black-and-white, vintage-inspired vignettes of him and his wife, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) as they take a road trip.
The song and video make for a romantic ode from Justin to Hailey, and the new release came with further details about Justin’s plans to bring even more new music to the world. Currently, Justin is waiting to see if he will win any Grammys for his 2020 album Changes.
‘Anyone’
Bieber started out the year with another ode to Hailey when he released “Yummy” on January 4, 2020. While the catchy track paid homage to his wife in an extremely sexual way (but vague enough that it could still be nominated as a top pop hit for the Grammys), “Anyone” takes a far different tone. This new track features Bieber speaking with more vulnerability about the way he feels about his wife, with lyrics such as,
You are the only one I’ll ever love /
Yeah, you; If it’s not you, it’s not anyone /
Looking back on my life, you’re the only good I’ve ever done /
Yeah, you; If it’s not you, it’s not anyone /
Not anyone
In the track, Bieber even reflects on the idea that although Hailey promised to be his forever, she “can’t predict the future.” He has expressed similar sentiments in previous songs like “Forever,” in which he speaks of Hailey as a savior of sorts after his tumultuous and high-profile relationship with Selena Gomez.
In “Forever,” he asks in an almost nervous fashion, Do you want to look at me forever? He also mentions the stability Hailey seems to have brought to his life, saying, Every time I go the wrong way, you turn me back around.
The music video for “Anyone” features rare glimpses of Bieber – the camera’s attention is focused solely on Hailey as clips pass of her swimming in the ocean, riding in a boat, hiking trails and cuddling with her hubby.
The quick shots we see of Justin himself only show his tattooed back and the sides of his face as the camera closes in on Hailey as they snuggle. The video is a sweet testament to Justin’s declaration to his wife in “Intentions,” in which he sings, When I create, you’re my muse.
Bieber dropped the music video on Twitter with the caption, “You <3 <3 <3.”
Justin Bieber’s Grammy Nominations
Bieber has been nominated in the following categories for this year’s Grammy Awards:
- Best Pop Duo/Group Performance – “Intentions” feat. Quavo
- Best Pop Solo Performance – “Yummy”
- Best Country Duo/ Group Performance – “10,000 Hours” by Dan + Shay feat. Justin Bieber
- Best Pop Vocal Album – Changes
Bieber has won one Grammy Award in his career as a featured act with Jack Ü for 2015’s “Where Are Ü Now,” which was selected as the Best Dance Recording of the year. Including this year’s nominations, Bieber has been up for a Grammy 14 times since 2011.
Before Justin dropped the video for “Anyone” on Twitter, he also offered fans a sneak-peek of him working on another album in the studio. If this new song is any indication, we can expect a lot more gushing over Hailey Baldwin in Bieber’s next project.
