Ed Sheeran<\/a> and Justin Bieber<\/a> have finally released the music video<\/a> for their collaborative single \u201cI Don\u2019t Care,\u201d and it\u2019s one of the strangest clips from either artist\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

As with any major music video release on YouTube these days, \u201cI Don\u2019t Care\u201d dropped on the platform via YouTube Premiere<\/a>, which allows fans to bookmark the video URL and interact in a live chatroom up to several hours before the set premiere time. The interface also gives artists the option to show preview images over the video widget before the clip is released. So if you logged onto the \u201cI Don\u2019t Care\u201d webpage at, say, 8:26 a.m. on Friday, you were greeted with this gem:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is this meant to be an homage to Grizzly Man<\/em>? Not sure if I want to know.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, when I logged on, I didn\u2019t have that much time to contemplate Justin Bieber<\/a> in a bear suit, because at 8:45, shit got even weirder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The actual video, when it finally did premiere, brought some clarity to these bizarre, badly Photoshopped images. \u201cI Don\u2019t Care\u201d is a song about feeling alone at a party, not being able to connect with anyone except the protagonist\u2019s love interest. The video takes that concept and brings it to its most surreal form: Bieber and Sheeran perform in front of greenscreens and insert themselves into all kinds of scenery \u2014 a basketball game, a pool party, colorful Adventure Time<\/em>-y animated backgrounds \u2014 while wearing a menagerie of outfits that don\u2019t belong there, from a panda suit to cowboy chaps. It\u2019s a very fun, and certainly unique, way to portray social anxiety in a music video.<\/p>\n

Justin Bieber has hinted that more new music will be dropping this year, stating that an album was \u201ccoming soon\u201d<\/a> during his appearance at Ariana Grande\u2019s Coachella set in April. He also recently announced that he was partnering with YouTube<\/a> on a \u201ctop secret project,\u201d but neither Bieber\u2019s team nor YouTube have provided more details.<\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran was recently featured in a Rolling Stone<\/em> exclusive excerpt<\/a> of Howard Stern\u2019s new book. The longtime radio host professed his admiration for Sheeran, calling the British singer-songwriter one of his favorite new artists.<\/p>\n
