Bieber is originally from Stratford, a tiny town in Ontario Canada but he has since moved to Atlanta to work on his album and to be closer to his mentor, Usher. Yes, Usher, Usher! It’s been a big transition for the young rising artist who is still settling into his new surroundings.

Bieber tells MTV News backstage of “Tiki Rocks the Square” benefit for the Children’s Miracle Network at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City last week:

In my town [in Canada], there were only 30,000 people, but in Atlanta there are millions,” “And I don’t know anybody [in Atlanta], but everybody knows everybody in my town in Canada.”

Besides his album, Bieber is also preparing to release his new single “Lonely Girl,” for which he just completed a video. The clip, directed by Roman White (who also lensed Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me“), was shot in Nashville and features “a lot of cool stuff.” according to Bieber.

Bieber hopes that the song’s message gets out to those who need it.
 ”I think it’s important that these girls have something,” he said. “So there can be one less lonely girl.”- via MTV
