Justin Bieber has confirmed his interest in a possible One Direction collaboration, fueling reports that the teen sensations could be in talks to work on a track together.

In April, One Direction’s Liam Payne told CBS Local that a collaboration with Bieber would be “cool,” but the “Boyfriend” singer squashed rumors later that month, saying that there were no plans to work together.

However, Bieber recently revealed to BBC Radio 2 that a collaboration could be on the horizon: “If they want me on their album, they just have to ask. They’re talented.”

He added that the One Direction boys recently visited him for some summer fun, saying, “They’re my boys. They came to my house, we hung out. I have a pool so we all went in and chilled out.”

It remains to be seen whether the newfound friends will take their antics into the studio, meanwhile Bieber’s latest, Believe, drops tomorrow.
