For Justin, it was a bittersweet moment. On one hand, he was thrilled that his fans were still hungry for his music, even a decade after the fact. On the other hand, he had never intended for these songs to see the light of day, at least not in their raw, unfinished form.
But as 2010 drew to a close, Justin's team began to shift focus towards his sophomore album, "My World 2.0." The new album would go on to debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, but the unreleased songs from 2010 remained locked away, hidden from the public eye.
It was a chilly winter evening in 2010 when Justin Bieber, then just 16 years old, sat in his hotel room, surrounded by his guitar, a notebook, and a pen. He had just finished a grueling world tour, promoting his debut album "My World," and was itching to create new music.
