When asked if he saw himself as a protector of the budding star at that time, the "Peaches" singer admitted, "Yeah, I definitely feel protective of her."
Exploring his tumultuous journey, Bieber opened up about the difficulties of handling fame at a young age, grappling with friends who were only there when it was convenient for them.

"If she [Billie] ever needs me I'm going to be here for her... but, yeah, just protecting those moments because people take for granted."
Bieber also made his intentions clear, revealing to Lowe, "I just want to protect her. I don't want her to lose it. I don't want her to go through anything I went through."
"I don't wish that upon anybody. So yeah, if she ever needs me, I'm just a call away."
