Justin Bieber wrote his latest single, ‘Eenie Meenie’, during a sleepover at Sean Kingston’s house.

Kingston admitted that the pair had been best friends for the last two years and wrote the song, which has so far peaked at number 15 on the US charts, during a sleepover.

He told MTV: “Me and Justin have been friends for the past two years. So one day he was like ‘yo’ and said he wanted to do a record with me.

“I was like ‘let’s do it, I’m ready!’ and he came down over the Superbowl weekend and slept over at my house. We banged out a couple of records and ‘Eenie Meenie’ was definitely the most special one.”

He continued: “Justin’s definitely a cool kid, man. I’ve worked with a lot of people but he’s definitely one of the most fun and young, like he reminds me of myself ’cause I’m just like a big kid at the end of the day. He’s very happy and energised and hardworking too.

“I was 17 years old when I came out. I definitely could be a big role model to him, like a big brother figure to him.''
