Justin Bieber has released the second single from his much-anticipated new album Believe, the jaunty ballad Die In Your Arms.
With chiming production reminiscent of retro soul-pop, Bieber playfully swoons over keyboards, buoyant bass and finger snaps in the new song, released to iTunes on Tuesday.
Bieber himself hasn't commented on his headline-nabbing alleged altercation with a paparazzo over the weekend, other than tweeting that he planned to "focus on the important stuff."
The native of Stratford, Ont., did say he was Europe-bound, with plans to play some secret concerts in the run-up to the release of his new album on June 18.
He has also announced an extensive North American tour for this fall, which will include at least seven Canadian stops including one at Toronto's cavernous Rogers Centre.
