My World 2.0 is the latter of two-part debut studio album from Canadian singer Justin Bieber, and is his first full studio release. The album is the follow-up to the first platinum certified half of the album, which was released on November 17, 2009, via Island Records, and 2.0 is anticipated for a March 23, 2010 release.[1] Bieber will support the album with his very first headlining tour.
The album is preceded by the lead, "Baby", featuring Ludacris was released on January 18, 2010, and two digital singles, the "Never Let You Go" on March 2, 2010, and "U Smile" on March 16, 2010. The previous is set to be released later as the album's second single.[2]
Background
In an interview with Billboard at the 2009 Z100 Jingle Ball, Bieber explained the reasoning behind splitting his debut release into two parts, My World and My World 2.0. Bieber said that people do not want to wait "over a year and half" for new music, and it was decided best to give it in parts.[4] In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Bieber stated, "I wanted to do something that was a little bit more R&B and that could reach out to everyone. I just wanted to be able to show my vocal abilities."[5]
Singles
"Baby", featuring Ludacris was released as the album's lead single on January 18, 2010, and went on to impact mainstream and rhythmic radio formats. The song has been Bieber's highest peaks to date, reaching number three and five, respectively in Canada and the U.S., and has charted in other countries.
"Never Let You Go" was released as the first digital-only single from the album on March 2, 2010. The song is also expected to be the second single from the album as Rolling Stone confirmed in January 2010 that the music video had already been shot by director Colin Tilley while Bieber was at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.[6]
"U Smile", was released on iTunes on March 16, 2010, as a digital single.
