Justin Bieber confessed recently that his fourth album is inspired byhis relationship with his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.

"A lot of inspiration comes from Selena," said the "Baby" hit maker on being quizzed about his upcoming album, Daily Mail reported. "It was a long relationship that created heartbreak and created happiness and a lot of different emotions that I wanted to write about."

The singer made the announcement at Ryan Seacrest's On Air radio show. The 21-year-old singer was talking on the show about his much awaited album, which will be his fourth album and the first in past three years. The album is said to be co-produced by rapper Kanye West.

Bieber and Gomez had a tumultuous relationship until they broke up in January to be back later for a few months. Their on-and-off relationship always remained in the public eye and finally breathed its last in September last year.

Gomez has reportedly moved on since then and is reported to be in a stable relationship with DJ Zedd. Meanwhile, Bieber is regularly spotted in the company of different Hollywood beauties including Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin and Yovanna Ventura. However, the star is not officially dating anyone and is reportedly single.

Gomez had paid a similar tribute to her long lost love with Bieber through a single track "The Heart Wants What It Wants," which was released last year.

The singer is reportedly working hard on his fourth album for past few months. During his talk show, Bieber also acknowledged the contribution of the rapper West in his music by saying that "he pulls something out of you that other people don't,"  MTV reported.
