Watch: Justin Bieber And Chance The Rapper Drop 'Holy' To Start A 'New Era'
Finally! Justin Bieber and Chance the Rapper have dropped the highly-awaited song 'Holy' on Thursday, September 17.
The song is accompanied by a short film, which is directed by Colin Tilley, who is responsible for the 'WAP' music video featuring Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
Bieber, 26, stars as an oil driller in the clip, with Ryan Destiny playing his love interest. Well, it's all nice and sweet for the first half of the video, and then things take a turn midway after Bieber loses his job.

"We have to shut down the plant," says a man who looks like their manager.
Consequently, Bieber and Destiny are evicted from their home. The pair now has nowhere to go, and they are seen walking in the middle of the night with their bags packed. It starts getting emotional, but that's when Chance drops in and spits some fire in the video.
The now homeless pair are seen with Wilmer Valderrama, who takes them in and helps them get situated with a nice warm meal, and introduces them to his family.
The video seems to strike a chord with how the economy works, how several people deal with it, and the love that binds us all.
