Justin Bieber & Billie Eilish May 17 video

- A YouTube channel called BilliE Musics posted a video naming Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish on May 18, and labeled it a premiere. - The upload appeared on a channel with about 880 subscribers and a Fair Use disclaimer, not on Billie Eilish’s or Justin Bieber’s official pages. - The video page remains on YouTube, while official Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber channels list other releases and catalog material.

A YouTube video titled “Justin Bieber & Billie Eilish | Close To My Heart | New Music Video” appeared on the platform on May 18 under the channel name BilliE Musics, according to the video page. The listing described the upload as a premiere and included hashtags for Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber and “aestheticmusic.” The page also carried YouTube’s notice that “sound or visuals were significantly edited or digitally generated.” BilliE Musics is not the official YouTube channel for either artist, based on public channel pages and artist links. The channel page located by search showed about 880 subscribers, 357 videos and a disclaimer saying it “may use copyrighted material” under Fair Use. Billie Eilish’s official YouTube channel, by contrast, is branded to her catalog and linked releases under Darkroom/Interscope Records, while Justin Bieber’s official website points fans to his own official channels and Universal Music Group sign-up pages. (youtube.com) ### Was this posted by Justin Bieber or Billie Eilish? The video page identified the uploader as BilliE Musics, not Justin Bieber or Billie Eilish. Search results for the upload showed the channel name directly beneath the title and did not display an official artist badge, label tag or record-company branding. Billie Eilish’s official YouTube presence is tied to a verified artist page that promotes her existing releases, including music from “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT.” Justin Bieber’s official site similarly routes fans to official updates and merchandise through his own branded pages. (youtube.com) Neither source surfaced “Close To My Heart” as an official new release in the material reviewed. (youtube.com) ### What does the upload itself say? The description visible in search results presented the track as a mood-based blend of Billie Eilish’s “whisper-pop” style and Justin Bieber’s “smooth, soulful R&B energy.” The text read like promotional copy for a fan-made or synthetic music upload rather than a label release notice, and it invited viewers to subscribe and comment on the melody. (youtube.com) YouTube also attached a disclosure to the page saying the “sound or visuals were significantly edited or digitally generated.” That label has appeared on other altered or AI-assisted uploads on the platform and, in this case, sat alongside the premiere listing for the Bieber-Eilish-titled video. ### Do Bieber and Eilish have any official collaboration history? Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber do have an official past collaboration: “bad guy (with Justin Bieber).” Official smart-link pages for that release remain live under Billie Eilish’s distribution links. (youtube.com) That prior release matters because it shows the two artists have been officially paired before, but the material reviewed for “Close To My Heart” did not match the presentation of those official releases. (youtube.com) The smart-link pages for “bad guy” carry formal release packaging and distribution links, while the May 18 upload appeared on a small third-party YouTube channel with a Fair Use disclaimer.

Justin Bieber’s official website also did not show a release announcement for that title in the material available on May 18. The absence of an official link is not, by itself, a definitive statement about rights or authorship. (billieeilish.lnk.to) But the public evidence available on May 18 showed a YouTube premiere on BilliE Musics, a channel with fewer than 1,000 subscribers and a Fair Use disclaimer, rather than a release through the artists’ official channels or label-linked pages. ### Where can readers verify the listing themselves? (billieeilish.lnk.to) The YouTube watch page for the upload remained publicly searchable on May 18 under the title “Justin Bieber & Billie Eilish | Close To My Heart | New Music Video.” Billie Eilish’s official YouTube channel and official link hub also remained live, as did Justin Bieber’s official website. Any formal confirmation would most likely appear first on the artists’ official channels, label-linked release pages or verified social accounts. (youtube.com) As of May 18, the public pages reviewed pointed to an unofficial YouTube upload and to older, clearly labeled official material such as “bad guy (with Justin Bieber).”
