Justin Bieber's performance at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards was one of the night's highlights. It was the pop star's first major awards show performance in over two years following the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

Bieber kicked off his performance with "Where Are U Now" before introducing his new hit "What Do You Mean?" Bieber was then levitated above the audience to a platform in the middle of the crowd. After the performance ended, a spoken outro reflected in Bieber's journey. The singer later thanked his fans while catching breath, and then he cried.

Bieber also dropped the music video for "What Do You Mean?" online after the performance. Directed by Brad Furman, the video features actor John Leguizamo and Playboy model Xenia Deli. Bieber made a deal with Leguizamo at the beginning of the video, asking him to make sure that Deli didn't get hurt.

"What Do You Mean?" is the first single to Bieber's upcoming fourth studio album. A lyric music video was previously released featuring skateboarders Ryan Sheckler and Chelsea Castro.

2015 MTV Video Music Awards was held on Sunday, August 30 at Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles. Demi Lovato also performed on the show earlier, belting out "Cool for the Summer" outside the Orpheum Theatre near the actual venue. Her best friend Iggy Azalea showed up as guest performer for a remix version of the song.
