Justin Bieber, Austin Mahone Collaborate in the Studio Despite Selena Gomez Link: "They Really Respect Each Other's Music"

You better Belieb this, Mahomies! Justin Bieber and Austin Mahone are collaborating together, according to Instagram posts from both heartthrobs Wednesday, April 2. Interestingly enough, the two pop idols have romantic ties to Selena Gomez , Bieber's on-and-off girlfriend -- but an insider tells Us Weekly that music comes first.

"Austin and Justin have met before and they really respect each other's music," the source tells Us. "They work with a lot of the same producers and Justin knew Austin has been in the studio working on his album." Seeing opportunity, Bieber had a song "he thought could be really perfect to do with Austin," the insider adds. "So they got together."

Bieber, 20, initially posted a picture of himself alongside Mahone, Young Money president Mack Maine, and Cash Money founder Birdman. "New music #YMCMB," the worldwide sensation captioned the pic.

Mahone shared the same snapshot and gushed, "What an amazing song last night..The world isn't ready!" (The 17-year-old star signed with Young Money last September, joining artists like Nicki Minaj , Lil Wayne, and Drake on the label.) Birdman also chimed in from the recording session Tuesday and wrote, "Studio flow with tha yung future of music get ready YMCMB."

As previously reported in January, Gomez, 21, and Mahone were briefly "seeing each other" after being set up by mutual pal Taylor Swift . Though the two kept a low profile during their brief fling, they were seen leaving the Beats Music on Jan. 24.

In early March, Gomez and Bieber reunited for the umpteenth time -- first at a Texas Starbucks and days later, during a SXSW event in Austin, where Bieber serenaded Gomez.

The "Heartbreaker" singer later shared a homemade video of himself, dirty dancing with the Disney Channel alum, which he promptly deleted via Instagram. And last Thursday, March 27, Gomez was subpoenaed outside an L.A. convenience store to testify in one of the "Boyfriend" crooner's lawsuits.
