The 21-year-old "Baby" hitmaker said a lot of songs planned for his upcoming album were inspired by the former Disney princess whom he dated on-and-off for years, reported Ace Showbiz.
"I think a lot of my inspiration comes from (Gomez). It was a long relationship that created heartbreak and created happiness and a lot of different emotions that I wanted to write about. There's a lot of that on this album," he said.
Bieber has been working on his highly-anticipated new full-length with hitmakers like Kanye West and Rick Rubin.
"I've been in the studio with him for the past month or so," the 21-year-old star said of working with the rapper who previously teamed up with him to remix his song "Runaway Love" in 2010.
