Justin Bieber went acoustic for a bare-bones rendition of "Fast Car" in a BBC Radio 1 live session on Thursday.

"This is one of my faves," Bieber said before starting the Tracy Chapman cover. "My mom used to play it my whole childhood, so it's just a part of my childhood and one of my favorite songs."

Accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, Bieber delivered a gentle performance of the 1988 folk song, delicately crooning the first verse. When he reached the chorus, he picked up the tempo and volume, emotionally singing the well-known refrain: "I had a feeling that I belonged. I had a feeling that I could be someone."

Afterwards, Bieber also covered Tupac's "Thugz Mansion." Along with these covers, Bieber performed a number of his recent hits in the session, such as "Love Yourself" and his Major Lazer collaboration "Cold Water."
