If you thought “Lean On” and “Where Are Ãœ Now” were massive hits, just wait. Diplo is combining the best of both worlds as he teased yesterday a Justin Bieber and Major Lazer collaboration that is just waiting to be played on all of your favorite radio stations.

Skrillex & Diplo have stated in the past that they wanted to work with Bieber on more material, but he’s just such a busy person that it’s difficult to get him in the studio. Seems that they found the time, however, since a track definitely exists.
There’s a lot of questions as to what this track could sound like. No, it’s obvious that it’s going to be pop-oriented. But the direction of which can vary as wildly as “Lean On” and “Where Are Ãœ Now,” or even “Sorry.”
The big question here is who will have more influence on the final product: Diplo & Major Lazer’s dancehall roots, or Bieber’s unquestioning pop aesthetic? Time will tell.
