“Justin is not one of those cookie-cutter pop artists. As you know, they’re like, “This is my new single, and here’s my makeup line.” And he was like, Justin was like, “Yo. I have a pimple and I’m worried today.” He was always open about it,” Benny said.

“For me, I think he’s really becoming an adult now. It’s brave to release this song,” he added.
