Justin Bieber is enlisting the help of his celebrity friends to promote his upcoming single, What Do You Mean?

The countdown to the single's release kicked off on July 30 when Bieber tweeted a picture of a clock and "30 DAYS" to his 66 million followers.

Bieber's celebrity pals have now taken over the countdown to build buzz before the song's release on August 28.

What Do You Mean? will be the first taste from Bieber's upcoming fourth album, due for release in September. It's been three years since Bieber released album No.3 - Believe.

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest started the celebrity countdown campaign.

"Alright here we go. Good news. Big news. In 30 days the single called What Do You Mean? is coming out. So, start the countdown clocks," Seacrest said in a video on Twitter.

Next up was Aussie actor and Bieber look-alike, Ruby Rose. She sat in a gondola with a sign that read "29 days" and posted the snap to Bieber's Twitter and Instagram accounts.
