Justin Bieber shows the dark side of childhood stardom in the new music video for 'Lonely.' The video was released at midnight on Friday. As of Saturday, it's already racked up over eight million views.

In this Nov. 22, 2015 file photo shows Justin Bieber at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Justin Bieber shows the dark side of childhood stardom in the new music video forThe video was released at midnight on Friday. As of Saturday, it's already racked up over eight million views.

A 14-year-old Jacob Tremblay, who plays Bieber, dons the signature purple hoodie and side swept bangs of Bieber's "My World" era. Bieber, who is now 26, wasIn the video, Tremblay is seen by himself in a dressing room before producer Benny Blanco, who collaborated with Bieber and producer Finneas on the track, lets Tremblay know it's time to get on stage.

"And maybe that's the price you pay / for the money and the fame at an early age/ And everybody saw me sick/ And it felt like no one gave a s*** / They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid," Bieber sings. The lyrics and video have a much more somber tone than the music video for rapper DJ Khaled and Drake's "Popstar," released last month. In that video, Bieber struts around a house party at a mansion, and lip synchs lyrics about promiscuity, alcohol use and the decadence of fame. But in "Lonely," Bieber doesn't lionize fame -- instead, the song paints a much more realistic image of what it means to be world famous as a teenager.

He needs a FATHER telling him he is a talented man, and living content IS NOT COMPLICATED, Bieber thinks he's too special, he IS too wealthy, and he has value in this world way above cute songs and strumming a guitar. In short, minor impact. REALITY. Have a family, stupid.

Sounds like an Elvis Presley duo in the dark.

Does it mention he’s a spoiled asshole?

He was lonely probably because his parents we not around. Maybe he felt like he didn’t have anyone close to share it with.

How about we focus on a floundering Canadian economy, rising consumer debt, Trudeau’s federal government corruption, rising unemployment and stagnant wages...let forget the race and equality crap and just get to work instead of whining and holding our hands out for free cash...

Hard to feel sorry for him when he's worth $285 mil.

^ Haters.

Like spitting on his fans and using the N word?

no one cares

CRAPCTV will report on ANYTHING other than Biden and Trudeau's corruption.

All I can think of was when he said 'they criticized the things I did as an idiot kid' and how he got caught saying the n-word 😂 (pain)

adorable
