One clip from the docuseries showed Justin back home in Canada as he played hockey with his childhood friends. The singer has never stopped hitting the ice.

The extent of Justin’s past drug use

In episode five, the singer detailed his past with drug abuse and revealed that it was worse than anyone thought.

“I decided to stop because I was like, dying. My security were coming into the room at night to check my pulse. People don’t know how serious it got. It was legit crazy-scary,” he admitted. “I basically said to myself, ‘God, if you are real, you get me through this season of stopping these pills and stuff, and if you do, I’ll do the rest of the work.’ I never did the actual work. I got off the pills but never went to the root of everything so I just circled back around which most people do.”

The singer said he the drugs were “an escape.”

Justin is a perfectionist

Not only is Justin a self-proclaimed perfectionist, but those closest to him think so too.

“He is such a perfectionist and he is so good at what he does that there’s a whole different energy when Justin is in his zone,” his wife Hailey admitted. Justin’s BFF Ryan Good added, “He works extremely hard, he’s a perfectionist.”

Why is Justin this way? Well, he wants his album to have no mistakes when it’s released!

“I want it perfect. I can never remake this album, once it comes out it’s out… so it’s gotta be perfect,” he said.

There were multiple performances at Justin and Hailey’s wedding

Not only did Justin serenade his brand new wife at the wedding reception, but a few of his famous friends did too. While the newlywed couple cut the cake, Usher sang a stripped down version of his hit song “Bad Girl” and musical duo Dan + Shay — who Justin collaborated with on the song “10,000 Hours” — also sang for their 150 guests!

Justin has worked with producer Josh Gudwin for 10 years

“Justin has enabled my entire career,” the music producer admitted. Justin added, “I love Josh, he helps facilitate everything and makes everything a lot easier.”

Justin and Josh revealed that their relationship has spanned over a long period of time and it has led to a special bond between the two while making music. They have a certain “chemistry” and “vibe together” when it comes to making an album. Justin often works solely with Josh while creating new music.

Justin was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder

Before he was properly diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2019, the singer revealed that a psychiatrist said he had bipolar disorder and put him on medication.

“When I looked at his brain, it wasn’t bipolar,” Justin’s brain health doctor Dr. Daniel Amen said in episode five of Seasons.

According to his wife Hailey, Justin is now he is “healthier than he’s ever been.”

He’s a super emotional person

During episode nine, Justin revealed that he’s an “emotional” person, but often feels like he doesn’t have “permission to be human and shed tears.”

The singer looked back at paparazzi photos of himself crying in New York and explained that at the time he was “struggling” and feeling “emotionally overwhelmed,” but because of he’s always being followed by the media sometimes feels like he can’t cry like a normal person.

Kendall Jenner was present for the making of ‘Changes’

During the second episode of Seasons, Hailey revealed that she often brought her friends to the studio while Justin was recording. Clips from Justin’s studio sessions reveal that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was present for some of his upcoming album’s recording sessions.

He reunited with the ‘One Less Lonely Girl’ from ‘Never Say Never’

Loyal Justin fans will remember Lynsey Mickolas as the super-fan on stage during “One Less Lonely Girl” in the Never Say Never documentary from 2011. Now, she’s all grown up, but still a Justin fan.

During Seasons, Justin surprised Lynsey while she was being interviewed about her time onstage at the singer’s concert. Together, they watched the old footage of themselves together and snapped a sweet pic.

He makes music to help others

Justin explained how his time in the spotlight has changed his approach to making music. He revealed that, initially, he made it only for himself, but not anymore.

“When the focus and the goal is about yourself, you kind of tend to lose your purpose in that,” he said. “I think the older I get, the more I realize that I’m not utilizing my gift, I feel, for the right reasons. This isn’t about me, it’s about helping someone who’s going through whatever they’re going through, and being able to talk about that thing, I think that’s a really cool way to look at what I do.”

Ariana Grande helped him decide to make music again

In April 2019, Justin joined Ariana for a special Coachella performance. It was the first time he took the stage in four years. Singing “Sorry” in front of a crowd of screaming fans was the push Justin needed to get back in the studio and kickstart his career again.

“He wanted me to build him a rolling itinerary like I do when he’s working. The second he asked to actually put the time in, I was like, ‘Oh, okay, now we’re ready to go back to work,” Alison Kaye, Bieber’s manager, said.

Hailey Baldwin is his biggest fan

Throughout the docuseries, Hailey gushed over her husband and his work ethic. At one point in the premiere episode, she told viewers that she was put in his life to “cheer him on and support him.”

There’s a lot of pressure on an artist — musicians specifically that I think people don’t get to see because they’re not around for the full process,” Hailey explained. “So me being someone who isn’t a musician, and who is not involved in music in that way, watching it I have a whole new amount of respect for Justin as well as other artists who put their blood sweat and tears in their craft.”

He was ‘ashamed’ of his childhood apartment

During the first episode, Justin and Hailey took a trip back to his hometown of Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Justin admitted to viewers that when he was younger, he used to be “ashamed” of where he grew up.

“I’m pulling up in a Range Rover? Would’ve never thought that in a million years,” he said upon arriving at his old apartment building.

Why he cancelled the ‘Purpose’ tour in 2015

Justin’s longtime manager Scooter Braun recounted the moment that the singer needed a break from the fame.

“It was a very tough [day]. He just wanted to get away and feel normal and needed to get a break from it all,” Scooter said. “At the end, he was tired and said look, I need a break and he took a very long break,” Braun said. “In that time he’s found his wife, he’s grown a lot. I don’t put any pressure on that timeline anymore. He’s earned the right to do it in his own time.”

Justin’s perspective has changed since he’s grown up

In the Seasons‘ finale, Justin revealed that he’s learned to “set the tone” in every situation. Now that he’s older, the singer said he only wants to “lead by example” when it comes to making music and touring.

“In the past this was the JB show, I wasn’t focused on other people. I was focused on myself,” he admitted. “My whole perspective change is going to make everything run a lot smoother.”
