Justin Bieber recently took to Instagram Stories to share a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of his part in SZA collab "Snooze."
Bieber posted the clip soon after SZA released the stripped-back version of the S.O.S. hit.
Bieber's clips show him running through different vocal takes and moving the microphone in what looks like a stunning home studio.
"Okey dokey artichoke-y," Bieber is seen saying in the first clip as he gets his microphone set up.
The second clip shows Bieber belting out a part of the chorus, singing, "I can't lose," although he seemed slightly frustrated at not hitting the desired note. He remarked, "F---," before attempting the chorus once more, eventually nodding in approval, saying, "That 'I can't' was good, I guess."
In another clip, he sang the lyric, "Home when you're not here," another part of the chorus and contributed some impressive runs and background vocals to enhance the duet.
"Snooze" earned SZA her second No. 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, topping the list dated July 1. The song also gave SZA her second career No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay tally.
