Today’s the day!  The day we’ve all been waiting for!  Justin Bieber’s latest album Believe hit stores early this morning and we could NOT possibly be more excited!

To promote his sophomore effort’s release, the 18-year-old pop star called into On Air with Ryan Seacrest today to discuss the collaborations on the album and the unlikely muse behind one of his song ‘Maria’.

As GossipTeen reporter earlier this year, The Bieb was involved in some pretty serious baby-mama-drama with a girl named Mariah Yeater, who claimed

I couldn’t really talk about it when it was happening…every interview I was like: ‘I can’t really talk about it.’ So, to be able to actually talk about it on the album is really awesome.

Yeah, it was definitely Scooter’s [Justin's agent] worries…it’s already over, you’re bringing it back up. But also people didn’t forget about it, it was still in the headline news. So, to be able to talk about it and really say my side of the story and really just express myself, I feel like that was the best way to do it.

Express yo’self Justin!

The Canadian-born pop star also opened up about some of the amazing collaborations on the new record,

With Ludacris, he came in when we were working on it and he definitely loved it and he went back and started writing, and then got on it. With Drake, we wrote the song together and we were in the studio doing melodies and that’s how that happened. And Big Sean, we had already finished ‘As Long As You Love Me‘ and I was the one doing the rap at the end, but we just thought we might as well get Big Sean on it because he’s new and fresh…
