The Real Meaning Behind Justin Bieber's 'Off My Face'

This year has been significant for Justin Bieber, not just in terms of his music career, but also in his personal life. The pop sensation has been able to maintain a strong two-year marriage to Hailey Bieber, while also earning recognition in the music industry with four Grammy Award nominations, of which he won one. On March 19, 2021, he released his sixth studio album titled Justice, showcasing his evolution as an artist over his 12-year career.

The album Justice marks a poignant reflection of Bieber's journey, especially following the release of his previous album, Changes, just a year prior. It also comes after he bravely opened up about his struggles with mental health, including bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts. In his documentary released in October 2020, Bieber candidly shared, “There were times when I was really, really suicidal... The pain was so consistent. I was just suffering.”

Key to Bieber's resilience has been the unwavering support of his wife, Hailey. She has played a crucial role in his path to mental well-being, becoming a pillar of strength for him. According to a source from People, “Justin has an incredible support system... Hailey is his biggest supporter. She understands him deeply, and is 100 percent ready to help him.” This profound love and support is something that shines through in his latest album, Justice.
