Justin Bieber, 18, wants to be open about his luv for his first grown-up gf, older lady Selena Gomez, 19. "There's no way to hide the relationship completely," Justin tells Complex mag, "because then it would be unfair to us."

But S.Go comes a distant second to Justin's real love: being perfect. The Canadian boy singer rambles on about his exacting standards as an artist and pledges to make his next album, Believe, the best. "I feel like it's my responsibility to be the greatest I can be," he says. "When I release my fragrance, I want it to be the No. 1 fragrance. I don't want it to be the ninth-best-selling." Justin's commitment outstrips even the love of a good woman. "I give up a personal life. I give up my friends and family to pursue what I love and to make my fans happy," says Justin. He also reveals that he does a little rapping on his new single, "Boyfriend," which will be out Monday.

But Jay-Z can relax: His career is safe. "I just rap for fun," says Justin. "It's nothing to take seriously."
