Justin Bieber is admitting that he’s still in love with his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, despite breaking up about a year ago. He also believes they can be friends in the future, just not right now.
The “All That Matters” singer, 19, told Big Boy during his Power 106 interview this week that he wrote the song about Gomez.
“I wrote the best music once my heart was broken. ‘All That Matters’ was written when I was in a great place in my relationship, and at that time, she [Selena Gomez] was all that mattered in my life,” he said, RumorFix reports.
He added, “[The break up] affected us, especially when we are in front of so many people. It’s such a public thing. It’s just hard for the both of us. But you know, she’s a great woman. I love her till this day.”
Bieber, who said in the same interview that he was retiring from music, continued, “I think we’re going to be the greatest of friends. Right now we’re taking a little time and not talking.”
Bieber has definitely been enjoying the single life lately and he’s made his fair share of headlines about controversial behavior. Watch him explain the song on the radio show here:
