Justin Bieber gave his fans a long awaited gift for the new year: his first new single from his upcoming album. The Biebs has been teasing the release of “Yummy” all Thursday and dropped the song at midnight. It’s the first glimpse of his new sound, and no surprise, it’s lyrically all about his wife Hailey Baldwin and his love for her. This is the man who made a sex joke about her on his Instagram this week, so…
Earlier this month, a source told E! that the Biebs’ new material would get personal, so the tribute to Baldwin is no surprise.
“There were a lot of dark times and the breakdown he went through,” the source said. “He touches on his mental health struggles and how he got through it.”
The source added that his music would address how Baldwin “helped him through that time. He also writes a lot of about their love and the power of their love being different than anything else he’s experienced. It’s a familiar sound that the fans will love. He’s doing what he does best and everyone is really looking forward to getting it out there for the world to enjoy.”
Here, the lyrics to Bieber’s new song, via Genius, with the references to Baldwin explained. You can listen to the song below.
Yeah, you got that yummy-yum
That yummy-yum, that yummy-yummy
Yeah, you got that yummy-yum
That yummy-yum, that yummy-yummy

Say the word, on my way
Verse 1
Bonafide stallion
It ain’t in no stable, no, you stay on the run
Ain’t on the side, you’re number one
Yeah, every time I come around, you get it done (You get it done)
Pre-Chorus
Fifty-fifty, love the way you split it
Hundred racks, help me spend it, babe
Light a match, get litty, babe
That jet set, watch the sunset kinda, yeah, yeah
Baldwin and Bieber have traveled a lot in the last year and have shared photos of them cuddled up at sunset. Baldwin is a successful and busy model with an estimated net worth of $3 million, hence the “fifty-fifty, love the way you split it” line.

Standin’ up, keep me on the rise
Lost control of myself, I’m compromised
You’re incriminating, no disguise (No disguise)
And you ain’t never runnin’ low on supplies
Pre-Chorus
Fifty-fifty, love the way you split it
Hundred racks, help me spend it, babe
Light a match, get litty, babe
That jet set, watch the sunset kinda, yeah, yeah
Rollin’ eyes back in my head, make my toes curl, yeah, yeah
