Canadian superstar Justin Bieber has announced that the UK release of his new single 'Boyfriend' has been moved forward by more than a month.

The track, which was co-written by 'Cooler Than Me' singer Mike Posner, will now be available on April 8 instead of the originally scheduled date of May 20.

He took to social networking site Twitter earlier this evening, April 2, to confirm the exciting news and wrote:

"Since u have helped my artist @carlyraejepsen go #1 on ITUNES in the UK and since u have been Requesting #BOYFRIEND on radio.... I think we need to move the date up from may 20th to THIS SUNDAY...APRIL 8th! #UKCOUNTDOWN - #BOYFRIEND"

He also recently opened up about the video for 'Boyfriend' and explained that it's a simple concept and he can't wait to unveil it:

"The concept of this video, I mean it's not like a steady concept. It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of amazing scenes: Like a fire scene, we have an ice scene."
