Justin Bieber has revealed his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez served as an “inspiration” for many of the songs on his upcoming new album. Bieber is preparing for the release of his first record since 2012′s “Believe,” and after splitting from his girlfriend of three years in 2013, Bieber says he used Gomez and their on-and-off romance as a recurring theme throughout the as-yet-untitled album. He tells radio host Ryan Seacrest, “A lot of my inspiration comes from her… It was a long relationship and a relationship that created heartbreak and created happiness and a lot of different emotions that I wanted to write about, so there’s a lot of that on this album.”
