Background

Ever since Simpson made his mainstream debut in 2010 with iYiYi he received many comparisons towards Bieber and was often dubbed as "The next Justin Bieber".[4] Simpson was questioned in September, 2010 if he had ever met Bieber, to which he confirmed yes.[5] Simpson also responded to a number of fan questions through J-14 Magazine that same month, one of which asked if he would ever duet with Bieber, to which he responded: ″Maybe I guess, that would be kinda cool″.[6] Simpson hired Bieber's manager Scooter Braun as his own in 2011.[7][8]

In January, 2012, during the making process of Bieber's third studio album Believe, it was confirmed that Simpson had been in the studio with Bieber, proclaimed via Twitter by Simpson, ″Chilled with the mate @justinbieber in the studio tonight. Look for some great records coming″, hinting the possibility of a duet.[9]

Over the summer of 2014, Simpson tweeted that he was in the studio with Bieber, stating that they wrote a "beautiful guitar track".[10]
