Believe Songwriting Credits by Justin Bieber

Believe is the second official studio album by Justin Bieber, released in June 2012 on RBMG/Island Records and produced by Diplo, Max Martin, Rodney Jerkins, The-Dream, and others, the album that marked Bieber's transition from teen pop to adult R&B and dance-pop, with a production approach drawing on the contemporary electronic and urban pop mainstream rather than the pop-ballad approach of the debut. Bieber co-wrote most tracks for the first time; 'Boyfriend,' 'Beauty and a Beat' (featuring Nicki Minaj), 'As Long As You Love Me' (featuring Big Sean), and 'Right Here' (featuring Drake) were the principal singles. 'Boyfriend' reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the best-charting solo Bieber single to that point; the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 374,000 first-week sales and has been certified three-times platinum in the United States. Believe represented the most significant commercial and stylistic pivot in Bieber's career and the album that established him as an adult pop artist rather than a teen phenomenon. Believe's commercial success and artistic evolution made it the most significant record in establishing Bieber's long-term commercial viability as an adult artist, demonstrating that the structural challenge of transitioning a teen pop star to adult pop success, a challenge that had defeated many predecessors, could be navigated successfully with the right production collaborators and creative ambition.
