Justin Bieber told Jimmy Fallon why he broke down in tears after his MTV Video Music Awards performance.
Many fans questioned the singer's authenticity when he cried after signing "Where Are U Now" on Aug. 30 but Bieber insisted he was being real.
The 22-year-old expressed his disappointment in his performance, explaining he cried because he was upset over a few missteps.
"I missed some cues so I was a little disappointed with that," he added.
"And everyone - the support - I was honestly wasn't expecting them to support me in the way they did," Bieber said.
So I was just feeling judged and wanting to win so badly, and wanting to do what I love so badly, that I just put everything on the line."
