Addressing last year’s news and rumors, Justin Bieber is writing a song about Mariah Yeater, the 20-year-old claiming she fathered his child.
In 2011, Justin Bieber had two (antithetical) women in his life: Selena Gomez, the Disney kid and pop star, and Mariah Yeater, a 20-year-old claiming the Biebs fathered her then 3-month-old son. While you might assume Bieber’s latest single, “Boyfriend,” is for the former, could he write anything for his delusional wannabe baby-mama?
At one point, the teen singer said he was going to clear up rumors with his upcoming album Believe, and this weekend, he clarified his earlier statement, mentioning he is writing a song to Yeater. First, dredging up news that passed over months ago, he tweeted: “Dear mariah yeeter...we have never met...so from the heart i just wanted to say...”
And followed it with a clip from Borat. Later, he told the press: "There's a song about that girl -- Mariah Yeater -- that said she was gonna have my baby. There are songs about things I'm going through. I wrote songs about different situations."
What do you think Bieber’s song to Yeater could sound like? So far, the singer has mostly rolled out upbeat pop tunes, but nothing along the lines of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River.” Could such a track give Bieber more depth as a songwriter, or will it simply be a one-off or novelty track?
The “Baby” singer’s ode to Yeater may not appear on Believe, but so far, he has 40 songs that he either wrote or co-wrote and now has to decide which ones will appear on the album. Out of those are collaborations with Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Drake.
