In his new cover story for GQ, Justin Bieber talks about all of the "dumb sh*t" he's done over the past few years. But there's one word he deliberately avoids: "sorry."

To be fair, he's already apologized several times -- for the racist joke he made when he was 15, for that one time he took shots at Bill Clinton, for, well, all of it. But from excerpts of the cover story, which hits stands March 11, it seems he's dodging the word entirely -- even clearing up what his Purpose hit "Sorry" really meant.

While many people thought the tropical house track was a mea culpa for his many transgressions, Bieber clarifies: "It really had nothing to do with that . . . It was about a girl."

“Everyone when they start growing up realizes, ‘Man, I did some dumb sh*t when I was younger,’” he adds. “It’s not just me . . . If I could go back I wouldn’t really change much. I think it’s all my journey. That stuff made me who I am.”
