Justin Bieber turned a Los Angeles park into a surprise stage on Tuesday, Sept. 22.
The “Baby” singer was captured by TikTok user @SONYGT05 sitting on the grass at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, jamming on a drum to his hits, including “Let Me Love You.”
Per FOX11, who cited the California Post, the star also played “Speed Demon,” “All I Can Take,” and “Yukon.”

He appeared to be in good spirits as he greeted and interacted with fans in the park who gathered around to film the group and listen to the tunes.
According to another video shared by @SONYGT05, Justin sweetly shook hands with her young son, exclaiming that the child was “so cute.” The boy then took a tambourine from another member of the musical group but didn’t play it despite encouragement from his family.
In an interview with the magazine WYouth, which was published earlier this month, Justin revealed his go-to karaoke track is “With You” by Chris Brown — which fans may remember as one of his most memorable viral early YouTube covers that earned him his early record deal.

A video of Justin performing Brown’s hit song was posted to his YouTube channel in February 2008, and the clip now boasts 65 million views. He was 13 years old at the time of the upload, which came more than a year before his debut single, “One Time,” was released in May 2009.
Justin’s wife, makeup mogul Hailey Bieber, 29, shared that her favorite tune to get up and sing is “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. The couple, who wed in September 2018, were in agreement that it was “too hard” to pick a favorite artist of all time.
Away from music, Justin has recently been prioritizing time with his 2-year-old son, Jack Blues, and on Sept. 15 shared a series of sweet images showing him hand-in-hand with his boy.

The sweet shots, which appeared to have been taken from behind in a hotel lobby and are simply captioned with a heart emoji, show the casually dressed father-son duo sporting matching beanie hats and sneakers. While Jack also wears jeans and a baby blue T-shirt, his father opts for an oversized hoodie and cropped jogging pants that show off his yellow sports socks.

Justin and Hailey kept Jack’s face out of the spotlight and only ever share snaps of him taken from behind or covering his face. And in an interview published in October 2025, Hailey explained to WSJ. Magazine that they would keep their son private until he “can understand it and it’s possible to have conversation around it.”
“I like who I am so much more now than I did before I had my son,” the Rhode founder added of becoming a mom. “You gain this silent strength and confidence. You can’t tell me the same s— that you could tell me before. You’re not f—— with me after I pushed a human out of my body.”
