Justin Bieber Teams Up With Ludacris For ‘Baby’

Justin Bieber certainly backs up what he tweets. While promoting his album My World in London, the tween sensation uploaded a video of himself singing an acoustic version of a brand new song, the soulful “Baby.” The recorded version (available on iTunes next week) will feature Ludacris, who between this and his Chipmunk-tastic “How Low,” is apparently on a mission to work with anyone remotely smacking of cuteness. Video of Bieber performing after the jump.

Justin writes on his YouTube page:

Here is an acoustic sneak peek of my new single “BABY” which comes out on ITUNES this Monday January 18th, 2010 and features LUDACRIS!! Spread the word and let’s help make it my first ever #1 on ITUNES!! All this is really a dream and not possible without the amazing support you all have given me on youtube, facebook, twitter, and around the world. Thanks for making dreams for a small town kid. thank you -Justin

Justin Bieber – “Baby”

Pretty simple, pretty song, and we definitely can’t wait to find out where the hell Ludacris comes in (though we could definitely live without the Christina Aguilera impression at the end of the song).

Justin is set to perform on the final night of Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo with Demi Lovato. This is the same concert series that has booked both Mary J. Blige and the Black Eyed Peas, and yet they’ve picked Justin Bieber to close the show. Do not doubt the power of the Bieb again! Now if only he could escape from the giant wind machine that always seems to blast his his hair into his face.
