A release date has not been set for Bieber's album but his manager, Scooter Braun, told MTV News in April that the singer has been working on the record since 2012.
"I don't ever disclose what our plans are," Braun said, "but I will say this: He's been writing one to two songs a day for the entire [Believe] tour, and he actually labels them by the city he writes them in. We started calling it his 'music journal,' and we're talking about what should come next musically."
