Justin Bieber has confirmed that his teased collaboration with Ed Sheeran will be released this week. 

Posting on Instagram, the musician shared a short clip of the track, writing on Twitter: “Check my Instagram story. It’s happening. #friday.”

Both Bieber and Sheeran posted what appeared to be lyrics from the song, with the two photos having to be matched up to read them properly. 

“Cause I don’t care/When I’m with my baby yeah/All the bad things disappear,” the lyrics read. 

The pair had previously teased new music together, marking their second collaboration since Bieber’s single “Love Yourself”, which was co-written by Sheeran and appeared on the 2015 album Purpose

Both posted photos of themselves posed in front of a green screen and wearing colourful, short-sleeved button-down shirts, alongside the caption “10”.

In March this year, the 25-year-old Bieber announced he was taking a hiatus from music in order to focus on his personal life.
