Ever dreamed of being ">Justin Bieber's art director? Well, the singer is giving his fans that opportunity. Bieber has released two photos and requested that fans choose which will be the official art for his next single, "Boyfriend." The photo that receives the most fan tweets wins.

Biebs dons a gray checkered top over a gray T-shirt in both photos, but it's the pose that really differentiates the two shots. In one, he stands looking away from the camera, his hands at his side. In the other, he's looking to the camera, his hand running through his famous hair.

The Mike Posner-produced track will drop on March 26. It's the first single off his forthcoming album, Believe, out later this year. Bieber hit the studio with a number of A-listers for the album, including Maroon 5's Adam Levine and super-producers Diplo and Ryan Tedder, plus will.i.am, Drake and Lil Wayne.

"You can't really expect anything from my album. It's really, really different," Bieber told MTV News. "And it's new; it's not the same thing everyone's used to hearing right now on the radio. It's really exciting for me, 'cause I'm able to break out of my shell and show my fans what I'm all about and show other people who might not like my music that maybe they can like my music.

"I'm not trying to lose any of my young fans," he continued. "I'm not trying to lose any of my fans, I'm just trying to gain fans, and I think that's the best way to do it. Rather than try to grow up and lose your fans, you can get better and evolve and gain respect from more people."

Which Bieber photo do you think he should use as the cover art for "Boyfriend"? Tell us in the comments!
