Who knew that Justin Bieber was such a softie? On Wednesday night, the "Baby" singer reached out to his fans through a video he posted on Facebook and explained how he has changed.

At the start of the video, the singer admitted to having the jitters when he filmed Thursday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

He said, "I was really nervous and I think I was nervous because I'm just -- I was afraid of what people are thinking about me right now. It's been a minute since I've been in a public appearance and I didn't want to come off arrogant or conceited or basically how I've been acting the past year, year and a half."

The 20-year old singer then continued and revealed that the image he had for the past eighteen months did not reflect who he really is.

"I'm not who I was pretending to be and why I say 'pretending' is often we pretend to be something we're not as a cover-up of what we're truly feeling inside and there [were] a lot of feelings going on in there. Just being young and growing up in this business is hard. Growing up in general is hard. But yeah, I just felt awkward up there. I felt like people were judging me and I really want people to know how much I care," he said.

Towards the end of the clip, Justin poured his heart out and revealed his soft side.

"I'm a person who genuinely cares and although what's happened in the past has happened, I just want to make the best impression on people and be kind and loving and gentle and soft and as -- although people can call me a softy, that's how my mom raised me."

Last Wednesday, Justin released a teaser for his new song, which fans speculate is about Selena Gomez.
