Just days after a report claimed Justin Bieber is eyeing a musical comeback because he “needs the money,” a mysterious Instagram post may lend some credence to it.
The 30-year-old singer hasn’t released an album in almost four years, since Justice was released in March 2021.
Now that Bieber is a father — he welcomed his first son with wife Hailey at the end of August — the singer seems ready to get back to work.
Although he hasn’t officially announced anything, Bieber shared a new video to his Intagram story on Wednesday featuring what could be a snippet of new music.
The video was taken from the back of Bieber’s car as he rode with his wife Hailey in the front seat, as they were seen holding hands as he drove.
The singer was wearing a black hoodie and was seen hitting his head to the music in the car’s rear-view mirror.

Bieber had previously had to cancel shows on the fall 2022 tour, explaining his absence from the stage in an emotional post on his Instagram Stories.
