Back in 2015, Justin Bieber was trending on the internet when he compared his approach to pop music to that of Michael Jackson. During his appearance on Radio 1’s Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw on October 27, 2015, Justin Bieber had told the host that he “always wants to stay pop”. He had further explained that he did not think that 'pop' was an inappropriate or dirty word but just meant that “the majority of people like it”.

Talking about the same, Justin Bieber had told Nick Grimshaw, "I think pop music isn’t necessarily cheesy, it’s just how you make popular music. You take what’s popular in the world right now and you flip it and make it your own". He had further added, "I think that’s something awesome that Michael Jackson did. He always took something so relevant at the time, like funk and techno". "I just want to collaborate with the best and make good music,” Bieber had shared.
