So far, reaction on Twitter has been overwhelmingly positive from fans worldwide.
Another wrote: “Heard #DieInYourArms yesterday and it’s awesome! I LOVE it! So old school and classic!, I LOVE it!”
The song has a soulful feel to it, an “Old School Jackson 5 vibe,” tweeted the singer’s manager Scooter Braun.
On Monday, Bieber tweeted that he was boarding a plane to Oslo, where he’ll start a tour to promote his new album, which will be released on June 19. He hinted he’ll be in Europe for a series of “secret” concerts.
“Ok. going to board. OFF TO EUROPE! PHASE 1 of operation secret concerts! lol. OSLO first stop. See u soon.”
“When i land #DieInYourArms and #BOYFRIEND will be out!! Countdown and then #BIEBERBLAST !!!! thanks! see u soon. much love,” tweeted the 18-year-old.
The Startford-born teen has previously released “Boyfriend” and “Turn To You” from Believe, which is his third album.
In “Die in Your Arms,” Justin sings to his love: “If I could die in your arms/I wouldn’t mind/Because every time you touch me/I just die in your arms/It feels so right.”
Reaction to the hit single comes on the heels of some bad publicity for Bieber, who is wanted for questioning by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s investigators after a photographer complained of being roughed up by the star.
The alleged scuffle happened when the paparazzo tried to snap pictures of Bieber and his girlfriend, teen actress Selena Gomez, after they walked out of a theatre on Sunday at The Commons in the affluent L.A. suburb of Calabasas, where Bieber recently purchased a 10,000-square-foot mansion.
