Diplo later stated he was warned that working with Bieber could end his career. Bieber himself was coming out of a rough patch personally and professionally and was seen as a polarizing presence in the public eye. When the big reveal that Justin Bieber would be joining the two for a single called "Where Are Ü Now," reactions were mixed. Needless to say, Skrillex and Diplo were pressured to deliver something memorable. At the time Jack Ü was a fledgeling project, but it had massive hype around it. It's hard to believe that just a few years ago Skrillex, Diplo, and Justin Bieber ushered in a broader interest in dance music in such a big way. An overt trend that comes to mind relative to EDM, especially in the latter half of the decade, is mainstream artists taking an active interest in the phenomenon.
