Justin Bieber Just Revealed The Lyrics To 'What Do You Mean?' In The Coolest Way Ever

JB slid into fans’ DMs for the most bonkers Twitter puzzle we’ve ever seen.

At this point, it’s safe to say the anticipation for Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” is driving us totally, absolutely nuts.

Over the past few weeks, he’s been building up the hype every day with a slew of celeb friends whom he’s recruited to tease the single and whet our appetites for a much-welcomed Bieber comeback.

But on Wednesday (Aug. 19), Justin reached all new levels of coyness when he unleashed a crazy, complex puzzle in which fans were tasked with piecing together the song’s lyrics. Justin himself sent the lyrics, line by line, to 49 lucky superfans via direct messaging on Twitter.

Each cryptic clue from Justin included a line from the song as well as an image of a clock that signified the order in which the lyrics were meant to be arranged. Ever the crafty fandom, Beliebers quickly hunkered down and started piecing the puzzle together — as did we. So without further ado, here are 48 of the 49 clues (one is still on the way), reordered by time to give you the complete lyrics to “What Do You Mean?”:

Better make up your mind (11:30)

What do you mean? (11:55)

Whew… and there we have it!

As Justin previously said in a radio interview last month, the song talks about the crazy confusion he feels around girls, and the full lyrics further hint at a volatile relationship that’s driving him up the wall.

While we’ll have to wait a little longer to hear the full effect, memorizing these lyrics should keep you busy enough until the track officially drops on Aug. 28.
