Teen sensation Justin Bieber's "Die in Your Arms" is inspired by Michael
Jackson, after he worked with the his producer Rodney Jerkins.
Jerkins,
who produced Jackson's "You Rock My World", made Bieber watch that
video to get him into the right mindset before recording, reports
contactmusic.com.
"Before I got in the booth, Rodney showed me
this hour-long video of Michael footage, never been seen before. It's
Michael's personality, him in the booth dancing. It's some really
special stuff.
"So me seeing that, going in there and being
inspired and working with Rodney, who worked with Michael - it was
incredible," the 18-year-old said.
Bieber also assured fans he is
a real musician rather than a manufactured pop star, and has an
hands-on role with all of his tracks.
"I was very involved in the
process, I played instruments, produced, wrote, so I want people to
know it's not all hype. I want people to know I've been working hard on
my music. Focus on the music. Don't think I'm just this product pushed
out there. I work hard, and music is really important to me," he said.
