The latest single and video from RBMG/Def Jam superstar Justin Bieber, "Hold On," finds the heartthrob on a motorcycle, chased by police and ever en route to deliver reassurance. Beyond the very cinematic presentation of the Colin Tilley-directed clip, you may discern a distinctively personal message about recovering from one's mistakes and "how it feels to be someone who loses their way."
"Hold On" is another harbinger of Biebs' breathlessly anticipated new full-length, Justice; the track was co-produced by Andrew Watt and Louis Bell, who share writing credit with Bieber, Ali Tamposi, Jon Bellion, Luiz Bonfa and Wouter "Wally" De Backer (aka Gotye).
If you're viewing this while speeding through the midnight streets of a doomed metropolis on a stolen chopper, please try to keep your eyes on the road.
