Making Magic - Justin Bieber: Seasons

( classical music playing )

I don't pay you to eat.

- I know.

- I don't pay you

to stand around here,

painting your toes,

drinking IPAs.

What do you think this is,

a vacation?

- ( laughs )

- We're making

a damn album here.

I got this documented.

You're over here lounging.

I'm lounging.

Justin's work ethic is random,

but is very strong.

It's Sunday, hanging out

with the family, pool party.

I'll get a text from Justin.

It'll be like, "Studio?"

And I'm here having a barbecue,

cooking food and like--

I'm like, "Oh, damn."

And I'm like, "How long?"

He's like, "20 minutes."

Hailey:

Just seeing the drive

and the work that goes into it,

it's a lot.

It takes a lot of hard work.

♪ Hasta de la noche

de mañana ♪

♪ Ya ya ♪

Is it noche?

- Si, noche.

- Noche.

Hasta.

You don't pronounce the H?

- Hasta.

- Hasta de la noche.

I don't speak Spanish.

Singers are good at imitating.

Um, so I guess

I'm just good at imitating?

I can hear it

and then just repeat it.

Hasta de la noche

de mañana, ya ya.

Hasta de la noche

de mañana, ya ya.

- Yeah.

- Hasta de la noche. Okay.

De la. De la.

- Yeah, I'm just-- bro.

It's okay.

- Sorry, sorry.

- Sorry.

- I know you're excited.

Ryan Good: Watching somebody

work and live in their purpose

is extremely gratifying,

especially for me.

And, like, seeing him

sink his teeth

and finding joy

in doing what he loves

in doing what

he's like purposed to do--

He just kind of writes

and writes and writes.

And we kind of narrow it down

to what he wants

the body of work to be.

We're able to get all this--

this bed of ideas and songs

and really cherry-pick

the ones that are tight

and put that

on the board of songs.

Poo Bear is gonna get back

in the lab again this week.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Cut over to Poo Bear.

Throw it up.

Allison: Poo Bear is Justin's

main collaborator

in terms of writing,

who knows Justin so well.

♪ Need you permanent

in my life ♪

♪ Always ♪

When Justin calls and gives him

the outline of an idea,

Poo really knows

what to do with it

and where to go with it.

Hey.

( vocalizing )

Yeah.

Justin's great at

challenging me creatively.

His work ethics are so amazing.

Him and Poo have

an amazing chemistry,

a lot these verses

that they write together.

Can't nobody want nobody.

- Can't.

- Can't.

♪ Ain't nobody ever gonna

take your place ♪

Hey.

He's one of the most prolific

songwriters of our generation.

He writes three songs a day

sometimes every day.

Hundreds of songs, literally.

Justin: Yeah,

Poo Bear has been someone

who has just been in my life

for a very long time.

And I love him

and I respect him

and I think

he's a tremendous human being.

Poo Bear: Or is it--

no, you'll be permanent

in my life, right?

Yeah.

♪ You'll be permanent

in my life ♪

- ♪ Always ♪

- Ain't nobody ever gonna take.

Yeah, okay.

♪ Ain't nobody ever gonna

take your place ♪

I think he knows me, you know?

And he knows

what I'm going through

and he kind of sees my journey.

He's got a mind like no other.

He's so talented,

and he helps me articulate

what I wanna say better than,

I think, anybody.

- What'd you say? Take--

- Yeah, get-- gon'.

- Just gon' and--

- ♪ Ain't nobody ever

gon' take ♪

- Yeah, instead of "gonna."

- No, that's way cooler.

- Gon'. It's gon'.

It's country.

- Yeah.

Both: ♪ Ain't nobody ever

gon' take your place ♪

- ♪ Your place ♪

- You see that?

I think we're each other's

spirit animals.

We've got a rhythm down,

we figured each other out,

and we're able to--

to deliver.

Which is one of the harder parts

to do in the music business

is to deliver.

- He's freakishly talent--

you're freakishly talented.

- Thanks, man. Thank you.

I don't know,

I'm waiting to run out of,

you know,

words and melodies and stuff.

So this producer named Tiny,

I have him send me beats

just in case Justin wants

to write to something.

And I happened to be

at the record playing

with Poo Bear,

and Poo Bear asked

if I had any beats,

so I played a couple tiny ones.

He loved "Habitual."

And then Justin asked

if Poo Bear had sent

any new songs over.

And I was like,

"Well, we just did this one

together a couple weeks ago

at Record Plant."

- ( song playing on speakers )

- Whatever you want to do.

Got a new Poo Bear record

that he just sent.

- ( song continues )

- Fire.

♪ Just to think that we've been

out here this whole time ♪

♪ Working through the seasons ♪

♪ Never crossed paths ♪

♪ Till we had a reason ♪

- Hey!

- ♪ See no repercussions ♪

- Yeah.

- ♪ What you want,

what you want ♪

( laughing )

♪ No, it's not so traditional ♪

Fire! Oh!

♪ Never ungrateful for it ♪

- Yeah.

- ♪ Habitual ♪

- Whoo!

- ♪ There ain't nobody

treat me like you do ♪

Justin: Okay, you ready?

So, Poo Bear basically

partnered with me

on every song on this album.

He wrote this song with the help

of this guy over here.

"Habitual,"

it's one of my favorite songs.

I'm gonna go cut it.

I just heard it

for the first time.

It's not often where

I hear something right away

and I'm like,

"This is so tight."

Let's get in the booth now

and cut it.

He cut it that night.

There's only been a couple songs

he's done that with.

Most songs he has to live with,

make sure it's, you know,

worth him putting

all his energy into it.

It's like a first date.

Not every first date

you score, right?

You know, you wanna take

your time with it

and make sure you're

doing the right thing.

It's the same thing

with a song.

I'm not saying scoring

in a creepy way.

I'm like, you know,

chemistry matches score.

Thing about coming back

to the studio

and jumping in this music thing,

it's habit forming.

His love for it is habitual.

♪ My love for you's

habitual, yeah ♪

Justin always in his process

has not wanted a lot

of people around,

so that hasn't

changed that much.

It usually is

just usually him and Josh

when he's cutting the record.

♪ My love for you's

habitual, yeah ♪

( bleep ). Frick.

( bleeping )

♪ My love for-- ♪

( bleep )

Superstars just feel like

whatever they sing is amazing

because of who they are.

And he's able to just completely

push that to the side

and just, you know,

strive for greatness.

♪ Never ungrateful for it ♪

Poo Bear: And at the same time,

he's extremely humble.

And in the past,

the media has kind of, like,

played him out to be something

completely different.

But being around him and being

up and close with him

for seven years now

just lets me see

that he's a sweetheart,

you know,

a big-hearted individual,

and he just wants to be

the best version of himself

that he could possibly be.

- Yeah, can you send me those?

- Yeah.

Like, just literally spend

ten on each or something.

( song playing on speakers)

Seriously.

spinning around ♪

♪ We're breathing ♪

♪ So grateful ♪

♪ I'll be yours habitual,

yeah ♪
