Beliebers, get ready, there's something big coming your way. This month, Justin Bieber will premiere his first single off a new album – and you can see his big announcement in the video above.

On his 18th birthday, Justin was a guest on Ellen DeGeneres, where he also announced the name of his first single, as well as the release date.

It's called “Boyfriend” and it will be out on March 26. It will feature both singing and some rapping and, as Justin puts it, “it's a really awesome song.”

“Basically I’m talking to this girl if I was your boyfriend I would never let you go,” The Biebs tells Ellen, explaining the name of the track.

Check out the clip to see how Ellen imagines the tune will sound like.
