Justin Bieber’s new album with his breakup song “Nothing Like Us” is already the No. 1 downloaded album on iTunes.
Justin Bieber is taking a page from Taylor Swift’s breakup song book. The 18-year-old’s new song “Nothing Like Us” is about his split with Selena Gomez and their two-year relationship, according to the Huffington Post:
“Lately I’ve been thinking, thinking about what we had / And I know it was hard, it was all that we knew, yeah / Have you been drinking, to take all the pain away?”
In an interview with Billboard magazine, Bieber opened up about his breakup with the 20-year-old singer and actress: “I’m not in the happiest place that I’ve ever been. I’m trying to get through what I’m going through. Like I said, I have my really close friends to cheer me up and keep me going.”

Gomez had her own “tell-the-world-how-I’m-feeling-post-split” moment earlier this month when she sang covers of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River” and her friend Taylor Swift’s song “I Knew You Were Trouble” at a UNICEF concert. Bieber separately covered Timberlake’s 2002 breakup song at a concert in Boston after he and Gomez first split up back in November, according to the Huffington Post.
