Eminem Credited as Writer in Justin Bieber’s New Song – But It’s Ozzy Osbourne Who’s Singing the Chorus
In what might be one of the most jaw-dropping musical collaborations of the decade, Justin Bieber’s newest single “Break the Silence” has taken fans completely by surprise — not just for its haunting lyrics co-written by Eminem, but for the thunderous, emotionally raw chorus delivered by none other than the Prince of Darkness himself: Ozzy Osbourne.
Yes, that’s right — Ozzy Osbourne is the voice behind the explosive hook in Justin Bieber’s latest track, a powerful anthem about pain, resilience, and rising through the noise. And the internet can’t stop talking about it.
A Sound Unlike Anything We’ve Heard Before
The track begins as a slow, piano-driven confessional from Bieber, detailing the weight of fame, silence, and inner turmoil. But then comes the chorus — gritty, soaring, and unmistakably Ozzy.
“I’ve been quiet for too long / But I’m done holding in the storm…”
Ozzy’s iconic voice, weathered but powerful, crashes in like a thunderclap — giving the song a new level of urgency, darkness, and catharsis.
Fans were stunned. Within minutes, hashtags like #OzzyOsbourne, #BieberxOzzy, and #BreakTheSilence were trending globally. Many listeners had to replay the chorus several times to believe what they were hearing.
How This Wild Collaboration Came to Life
Sources close to the project say the idea began with Justin Bieber’s desire to push beyond his comfort zone — both lyrically and sonically. Eminem had already joined the writing team, helping craft verses that explored themes of emotional suppression and spiritual exhaustion. But the team struggled to find a voice that could truly embody the rage and liberation of the chorus.
That’s when someone threw out a wild idea: “What if Ozzy sings it?”
Bieber’s team didn’t expect a yes. But not only did Ozzy agree — he asked to write a few lines himself.
“Ozzy didn’t just show up,” said one producer. “He showed up hungry. He wanted to scream for every person who’s ever been silenced.”
The chorus was recorded in a dimly lit LA studio in just three takes. Ozzy’s voice — heavy with grit, age, and legacy — was exactly what the track needed.
Eminem’s Lyrical Weight, Ozzy’s Sonic Punch
Eminem’s influence runs through the verses like a steady current — direct, raw, and brutally honest. Bieber recounts moments of doubt and years of public scrutiny. But it’s Ozzy’s voice that brings the pain to its boiling point.
The chorus, already quoted by millions, is as follows:
“You said I’d never find my way / Just a voice in the crowd, meant to fade / But I rise like thunder, loud and proud / And now you hear me — now I’m loud.”
With Ozzy’s delivery, those lines become more than lyrics. They become a battle cry.
Fan and Industry Reaction: Shock, Tears, Awe
Reactions from fans and critics have been overwhelmingly positive — and emotional.
“Who would’ve thought Ozzy Osbourne would bring me to tears on a Justin Bieber song?” one fan posted. “This chorus hurts — in the best way.”
Rolling Stone called the track “a stunning blend of generational trauma and triumph,” while Billboard described Ozzy’s performance as “his most human, haunting vocal in years.”
Ozzy Speaks Out
In a rare social media post, Ozzy shared his thoughts:
“Pain has no genre. Neither does truth. This one’s for the fighters. Thank you @justinbieber and @eminem for letting me roar again. 🖤 #BreakTheSilence”
His wife Sharon also chimed in, tweeting, “I haven’t seen Ozzy this excited about a track in years. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s him.”
What This Means for Ozzy — and Music as a Whole
While Ozzy has publicly faced ongoing health challenges, this collaboration proves he’s far from done making music that matters. Some are calling it a revival. Others see it as a bold final act in a legendary career.
Either way, Break the Silence isn’t just a song. It’s a statement — a defiant cry against being ignored, buried, or dismissed. And with Bieber’s honesty, Eminem’s pen, and Ozzy’s scream, it’s one the world can’t ignore.
In an age of curated perfection and digital noise, Ozzy Osbourne just reminded us what it sounds like when someone really breaks the silence.
And it’s glorious.
