Justin Bieber Celebrates 10th Anniversary of His Breakthrough Single ‘Baby’ with Throwback Post

Justin Bieber has cause for celebration.

The pop star, 25, is honoring the 10th anniversary of his breakthrough track, “Baby” which features Ludacris and was released on Jan. 18, 2010.

Bieber marked the hit song’s official anniversary on Saturday by sharing the original artwork from the single on his Twitter. He posted the same photo on his Instagram, simply writing “10 years 👀” as the caption for both posts.

The artwork includes a nostalgic photo of a young Bieber wearing a purple button-down top and a white T-shirt underneath. Bieber was pictured rocking a shaggy, brunette haircut which differs from his current hairstyle — a blonde short cut.

The star’s mom, Pattie Mallette, commented on her son’s Instagram photo with a laughing emoji. His longtime manager Scooter Braun also commented on the post writing, “It’s been an amazing 10 years. Here is to the next 10!”
