Chris Brown recently took the stage with Justin Bieber in Australia, where they played “Up” and now they start working on a video for the song Brown FAME “Next 2 You.”
Bieber manager, Scooter Braun, has confirmed plans video on Twitter. “NP # Next2You w / @ @ justinbieber and Chris Brown! – Video processing is crazy … yes it is he writes.
With a little knowledge about what these two have in store for the fans, MTV News talked to Brown in March to work with the teen star on the field. “Being able to collab with [Bieber] was great,” Brown said. “He is young, energetic cat is able to work with him, the fans, it was unbelievable. I know that many girls will love this disc.
“I wouldn’t say [he's] my protégé. He’s doing his thing at a young age, and I was doing mine at a young age, so being able to see him come up is dope.”
The midtempo ballad is about the power of love and making the pledge to spend your life with that special someone. The chorus says, “One day when the sky is fallin’/ I’ll be standing right next to you, right next to you/ Nothing will ever come between us/ ‘Cause I’ll be standing right next to you, right next to you.”
While it’s a feel-good track, Brown joked that when recording the song, he missed his chance to hit the studio with Bieber. “I actually stood him up on accident,” Brown recalled. “He was kind of mad … I was all the way on the other side of town handling some business, ‘girl business,’ and I was rushing back, and by that time, he’s like, ‘Man, I’m leaving, bro. I did it — just check it out.’ And I looked at it and listened to it and I was like, ‘Man, this is crazy.’ … He’s a great kid.”
