Justin Bieber Shares Throwback Photo of Selena Gomez

Justin Bieber recently posted a cryptic throwback photo of himself and Selena Gomez on Instagram, which of course, made the Internet go wild.

The 21-year-old "What Do You Mean?" singer initially posted the picture of himself cozying up with the 23-year-old "Good for You" singer on a red quadbike without any caption on Tuesday, according to Billboard. Later Bieber added some clarification to the photo, writing, "Just a throwback calm down."

After the initial post, however, the Internet was in a frenzy. The picture garnered more than 1.2 million "likes."

The original photo was taken when the couple was still an item and spending some vacation time near Bieber's hometown in Ontario, Canada. Gomez appears in the photo with her hand gently resting on Bieber's knee, as he rests his head against her back.

In recent interviews, both Gomez and Bieber have mentioned possibly getting back together in the future.

"When you love someone that much, even if something comes between you, it's a love that never really dies," Bieber told Billboard magazine last month.

While Gomez has talked about the possibility of reconciling with Bieber, she has also expressed her irritation at constantly being asked about the subject.

"I'm just tired of talking about it," Gomez recently said in an interview with InStyle U.K.

Bieber and Gomez dated on and off for three years, before calling it quits in 2014.

Gomez released her second solo studio album, "Revival," on Oct. 9, 2015. The album, which topped the Billboard 200 chart, has produced the singles "Good for You" and "Same Old Love."

Bieber released his fourth studio album, "Purpose," on Nov. 13, 2015. The album, which has topped the Billboard 200, U.S. Digital Albums and U.K. Albums charts, has produced the singles "What Do You Mean?" and "Sorry."
