A viral video on social media is warming everyone’s hearts after it showed the moment Justin Bieber stopped to help a stranded driver on the side of the road. The man who posted the video, @bukumusic on TikTok, was vlogging about how terrible his day was going. His car broke down, he was stuck on the side of the road, and he joked about "rich people in G wagons," driving by, further emphasizing his isolation.
Then, out of nowhere, someone pulls up and gets out of the car to help him. The man kept recording… until he realized the driver who stepped out was Justin Bieber. "Are you Justin Bieber?" Justin responded, "Yeah, what up bro it's Justin." Bieber then proceeded to ask him what happened, and the man joked, “Do you really wanna know?” Justin simply said, “Tell me bro.” The man then stopped recording out of respect.
When he came back on camera later, he looked stunned. He said Justin gave him “the best prayer I’ve ever had in my life” and called the moment "crazy."
Fans are now flooding the comments, praising Bieber for stopping when he didn’t have to. And for showing kindness in such a simple but genuine way.
Justin has spoken openly about how important his faith is to him, especially in the last few years. He’s talked about wanting to lead with kindness and live in a way that reflects what he believes. Him pulling over to pray with the driver seemingly fits the way he’s tried to approach his life lately.
Moreover, fans are also aware that Justin has been honest about struggling with anxiety, depression, and mental health. He's been direct with his fans and forthright about his battles. In 2022 for example, after fans were concerned, he shared on Instagram that he's been struggling a lot. "Just feeling super disconnected and weird.. I always bounce back so I’m not worried just wanted to reach out and ask for your guys to pray for me. God is faithful and ur prayers really work thanks .. the most human season I’ve ever been in facing my stuff head on."
Now, in the present day, it seems that Bieber has become big on treating people gently and showing empathy, especially toward those having a rough day.
Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Rosalía for their new collaboration, Where Is Gone?.
The song features on the Irish rock band's forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on Friday (16.10.26). For guitarist Carlos O’Connell, working with the Spanish superstar is particularly special because of his own Spanish roots.
He explained: “I’ve admired Rosalía ever since her debut album, which I thought was absolutely beautiful.
“What excited me most was the way she continued to preserve Spain's musical traditions, something that felt spiritually connected to what we've been trying to achieve with Irish music. Having roots in both countries, it's been really special to witness. "She's an artist who has continued to amaze me at every point in her career.”
Frontman Grian Chatten has also described the collaboration with Rosalía as one of the most memorable achievements of his career.
He revealed that he felt "humbled" when she agreed to lend her voice to the band's album.
Speaking to NPR, Grian said: “I've always felt there's something almost like a single big idea that I'm personally trying to communicate to the world before I get old and die, if that makes sense. There's one thing I think I'll spend my life trying to express. I have a feeling she has a similar outlook. … I mean, she's an amazing arranger, composer and lyricist. It means so much that she wanted to sing on something we'd put together. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career.”
Rosalía's links to Irish rock music extend beyond Fontaines D.C. She also offered inspiration and helped develop the Spanish lyrics for U2's The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), a track from their forthcoming album, Carnaval de Luz.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, she spoke about frontman Bono, saying: “I don't know him personally, but he sent me a text explaining that he was working on a new project and had written a song called The Mirror Maker."
Rosalía joked that Bono had invented a few words of his own.
She recalled telling him: “I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I told him he could create his own language if he wanted to.”
She described the opportunity to collaborate with the 66 year old music veteran as a real privilege.
She added: “Bono is a legend.
“It's amazing.”
Bono recently revealed that he was worried about seeming like a stalker when he reached out to Rosalía to ask whether he could name the song after her.
