Justin Bieber knows that all you want for Christmas is him.
You don’t want that? You want a new sweater, instead? Or maybe some socks?
Bring it up with Santa’s customer service department, then. No matter how good — or bad — you’ve been this year, the kid is set to be all over this holiday season like your fat uncle on eggnog.
We’ve known for a few days that Biebz is recording a Christmas album. (One that will raise money for an unannounced charity, he Tweeted last week.) And Team Bieber has since shared a few more details about the release.
It’ll be “all originals,” Tweeted the pop star’s manager, Scooter Braun. And going off Biebz’s recent Tweet-put, there’s a decent chance the Christmas collection will feature guest spots from his pals. (The famous-est ones, anyway.)
“Yeah we are going hard for Christmas!! #mistletoe,” Bieber wrote in reply to a Tweet from manager Braun, one talking up the holiday material Bieber has already recorded.
Following that message, Bieber Tweeted: “Had a great studio session with my big bro @seankingston and the talented @jonathanrotem.” (If you want to start a rumour around your high school that Bieber’s putting together something Christmassy with his “Eenie Meenie” pal and producer J.R. Rotem, we won’t stop you.)
MTV News notes that Bieber’s been logging more studio sessions than the one mentioned above, though — and that includes one with producer Kuk Harrell (Rihanna, Katy Perry) and Taylor Swift. “Wow!! Got to see @justinbieber & @taylorswift13 write a song together last night!!” Harrell wrote in a message retweeted by Bieber. “SMASH!!!! SMASH!!! SMASH!!! Let’s do it again y’all!!!”
Swift did grow up on a Christmas Tree farm…but still, MTV News reports that Bieber’s been working on more than just the Christmas project. So until he starts Tweeting the tracklisting, it’s unclear whether all these collabs will turn up in your stocking.
“[I'm] writing about how I feel and producing,” he told the outlet. “I’ve been producing on my laptop and on my computer. I’ve been really into it and, hopefully, this next album will be huge,” he said, adding that in terms of sound, he’s “done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it’s gonna have that vibe.”
A release date for Bieber’s Christmas album has yet to be announced.
