There were speculations about the two collaborating since late last month as the artists continued to tease their fans.
After Bieber tweeted a special message saying "big fan" to Sheeran on April 25, both the singers started sharing cryptic posts and photos on their social media accounts on Apri 30 with the number "10" written in their captions, dropping a hint that something special is releasing soon.
Bieber shared two side-by-side pictures on his social media handles that depicted him and Sheeran standing separately in front of a green screen while doing the same pose of looking over their shoulder at the camera with a smirk.
On the other hand, Sheeran combined the two photos for an Instagram post with the perfectly descriptive caption, "10. Photoshop spoon."
On Friday, Bieber and Sheeran posted a poll on their Instagram stories asking their followers, "Do you want new music?" The three answer options given were, "Yes," "No," and "Idc [I don't care]."
Teasing his fans, Bieber also wrote "7???" on his Twitter handle on Friday and on Saturday, he tweeted, "6."
Bieber continued to drop hints on Monday morning as he posted a video of Sheeran sharing a clip of a song. The video showed what was soon revealed to be the song's title. Shortly after, Sheeran posted a few of the lyrics on his Instagram account.
Eagle-eyed fans, who were long speculating a collaboration between the two, were correct in assuming that all signs pointed to a new song. The cryptic posts stirred plenty of fan theories floating around on social media including one that the option of "Idc" in Bieber and Sheeran's Instagram polls could be the title of their new song being 'I Don't Care'.
Although Bieber hasn't released an album since 2015's 'Purpose', he recently made his return to the stage during Ariana Grande's Coachella performance on April 21. Bieber joined her on stage and sang his hit track 'Sorry'.
