Justin Bieber wants to start a new boyband.
The 'What Do You Mean?' hitmaker is reportedly eager to gather a group of musicians to work on new music with after he releases his upcoming album, 'Purpose,' on November 13 and is hoping to eclipse One Direction's success.
A source told Life&Style: "Justin thinks the band will be a chart topper.
"One Direction's album drops the same day as Justin's and he feels they're trying to steal his spotlight, so this is his way of getting revenge."
But the 21-year-old star has no plans to completely give up his solo career.
The insider added: "Justin thinks with his name, connections and talent, he can blow 1D out of the water!"
The British boyband recently insisted they aren't worried about releasing their upcoming record, 'Make in the AM,' on the same day as the 'Sorry' hitmaker's.
Member Niall Horan said: "There is no need for a fight, if they [the fans] are fighting. We just happen to be releasing our albums on the same day. It's happened to us before; our first couple of albums were released on the same day as Rihanna.
"It's fine. You know you're gonna be up against someone in the charts - it just happens that we have fallen on the same day."

Bette Midler is set to release a new greatest hits album, 'A Gift of Love,' next month.
The legendary performer, who has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide since launching her career in 1972, has confirmed she's put together a collection of 18 of her favourite ballads from her studio albums and soundtrack recordings that will go on sale on December 4, 2015.
The upcoming record follows the success of the Grammy winner's 'It's the Girls' album last year and recent sell-out 'Divine Intervention Tour,' her first in the UK for 36 years.
The collection features a number of Bette's biggest hits, including 'The Rose,' 'Wind Beneath My Wings,' her cover of Marshall Crenshaw's 'My Favorite Waste Of Time,' 'Every Road Leads Back To You,' as well as five tracks from her 1995 platinum release 'Bette of Roses.'
Earlier this year, Bette admitted she is thinking about retiring as she's already achieved her "childhood dream".
She said: "I might stop at some point. I'm coming to the end of the line. I have to admit it. When you have more of the road behind you than ahead, it becomes a very focusing thing.
"You start thinking about the world. I've never been to Africa or South America. I've never seen a rhinoceros. I'm not saying that entertainment is a childish thing but, in time, you do grow up. I've achieved my childhood dream. Now the dream is just about over. I'm still alive, still vibrant. I'd like to see what other dreams I can come up with."

Elvis Presley has topped the UK album charts for the 12th time.
The late King of Rock n' Roll's new record, 'If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra,' which was released as part of the on-going 80th birthday celebrations in his honour, has stormed to the top of the charts, making him the first ever solo artist to have a number one album in five different decades and the longest chart-topper in UK history.
The album, released by Sony Music Entertainment, sold 79,053 units this week and is now the third quickest selling album of the 2015 to date.
The 'Jailhouse Rock' hitmaker, who landed his first number one in 1956 and has sold more than one billion records worldwide, now holds joint second place with Madonna, behind only The Beatles, on the list of artists with the most UK number one albums of all time.
Executive producer and the star's former wife Priscilla Presley told OfficialCharts.com: "This is an album that Elvis always really wanted to do and he would have been so pleased to know his fans are still there and they continue to love his music. The most talented team put this album together and helped us all realise an unfulfilled dream."
The album features classic Elvis vocals reworked with brand new orchestral accompaniments, as well as a duet with Michael Bublé.
Elvis died in 1977 at the age of 42.

Tickets for The Stone Roses' reunion shows sold out in 10 seconds.
The 90s rockers announced two stadium gigs earlier this week and tickets sold out in record time as eager fans raced to get the chance to see a rare performance from the band.
However, thousands were left disappointed by the 'I Wanna Be Adored' band as ticketing site Ticketmaster crashed due to demand for the shows at Manchester Etihad Stadium in June 2016.
Ticket touts have been selling tickets on for up to £800 each and as a result the band have added two more shows on June 15 and 19, alongside the original shows on June 17 and 18.
The band - which includes Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni - announced on Twitter: "Due to unprecedented demand 4th night added (sic)"
They previously revealed they will headline T in the Park festival in Scotland and are also rumoured to be playing Glastonbury next year.
A source told The Daily Star: "The Stone Roses were asked to play Glasto this year, firstly instead of The Who and then as a replacement for Foo Fighters when they cancelled.
"Eavis only has a couple of headline acts left on his wishlist and The Stone Roses are definitely one of them."
The homecoming gigs will mark the first time the band have played in their hometown Manchester since 2012, when they performed three shows at Heaton Park to over 220,000 fans supported by Liam Gallagher's Beady Eye, Plan B, Primal Scream, The Vaccines, Professor Green, and The Wailers.

Kanye West's new album "gets better every week".
The 38-year-old musician has been working on his seventh studio record - tentatively titled 'Swish' - for over two years but still doesn't feel like it's ready to be released because it keeps improving.
He said: "I don't wanna overly describe it or overly try to hype it up.
"It's sounding good. It's like a sonic painting, and it gets better and better every week."
However, the 'All Day' rapper acknowledged it has taken him a long time to create the collection, especially as he has given some of the tracks away.
Speaking on Real 92.3 radio show, he explained: "The work is slow. I've had a while to work on it. I separated with a couple of the tracks that were on my album that I gave to other people like 'FourFiveSeconds' to Rihanna or the joint on The Weeknd album, 'Tell Your Friends,' and I still kept working and trying to find the language that I wanted to say on my album. Just going in the lab every night."
He previously revealed 'Swish' is based on "embracing joy", which is in contrast to 'Yeezus' which was a "protest" against the fashion industry.
He said: "My last album was a protest of music. This album's just embracing the music, embracing joy, and just being of service to the people."

Little Mix are planning to duet with the Spice Girls.
The 'Black Magic' hitmakers would love the chance to get involved with the iconic girl group's 20th anniversary celebrations next year and have already been pestering Mel C and Emma Bunton to let the two bands perform on stage together.
Little Mix's Perrie Edwards said: "We'd love to be involved with it. We love the Spice Girls and want to perform with them. They know that."
Jade Thirlwall added: "Hopefully we get to support them and do a duet."
However, bandmate Jesy Nelson is unsure if the reunion will live up to the first time the band were together as Victoria Beckham has opted out of the celebrations.
The 24-year-old singer told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's never the same if they don't all do it. Then again they were still successful when Geri [Halliwell] left, because they were so iconic. But it wouldn't work if Little Mix weren't all together."
And Perrie agreed, saying: "I feel whatever the Spice Girls do they will be loved, because they're insane."
Scary Spice herself, Mel B, previously said if they got back together it would have to involve all members - herself, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton and Mel C - because otherwise it would be pointless.
She said: "If we do something, it has to be all of us. That's the whole point."

R. Kelly feels responsible "to keep the music going".
The 48-year-old musician claims he has been making music for so long he now feels like it's his duty to push forward with new sounds and styles to influence other singers and rappers.
He explained: "I'm not in no lane.
"I'm music and I just want people to know me as music. Not some R&B guy.
"If there was a person that had a job keeping the sun coming out and keeping the moon coming out, if God appointed somebody to do that, then they have to be there doing it every day, and every night, and that's who I am. I have to keep the music going."
The 'Ignition' hitmaker will release his 13th studio album 'The Buffet' next month which will be a departure from his 2013 record 'Black Panties' as it is a country and blues record.
He said: "I love country music.
"Because country music tells stories, and I tell stories. That's a good friend of mine, you know?"
And the LP features a duet with his once estranged daughter, who sings under the moniker Ariiraye, which he believes is the type of track which makes him unique as an artist.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I am what I am; I'm a writer. Every one of my hits was something that was a reality: 'I Believe I Can Fly' all the way down to 'Ignition.' ... It's just a real song.
"Who has the balls to write a song about the father and daughter not seeing each other, not being with each other, and need to see each other, and need balance in they lives. Who can put that song together where the melody worked, the hook works and the lyrics connect? So that's when I step in. I'll write the song that other people want to say but just don't know how to put the words together."

Coldplay have announced a new album featuring Beyonce and Noel Gallagher.
The four-piece band have confirmed their seventh studio album 'A Head Full of Dreams' will be released on December 4 and will feature the stars alongside Swedish singer Tove Lo and gospel singer Merry Clayton.
The Chris Martin-fronted act premiered the first single to be taken from the record, 'Adventure of a Lifetime' - which is available to download now - on BBC Radio 1 this morning.
Recorded in Malibu, LA and London, the new record has been created with their long-term collaborator Rik Simpson as well as production duo Stargate who are behind hits such as 'Diamonds' by Rihanna and 'Firework' by Katy Perry.
The 11-track record follows 2014's 'Ghost Stories' which was their sixth consecutive worldwide chart topper.
They sparked speculation of an imminent release last month with a series of secret posters dotted around London featuring a logo associated with the band and the December 4 release date.
And they previously hinted the collection could be the final release from the band, 15 years after their debut album 'Parachutes'.
Chris said at the time: "We haven't told anyone this but we're making an album called 'A Head Full of Dreams'. We're right in the middle of it.
"It's our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it's like the last Harry Potter book or something.
"Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something.
"I have to think of it as the final thing we're going. Otherwise we wouldn't put everything into it."
The band will also perform at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball with Coca-Cola on December 5 at The O2 in London.

1. 'A Head Full Of Dreams'
2. 'Birds'

Niall Horan has written a track about one night stands for One Direction's forthcoming album 'Made in the A.M.'
The 22-year-old singer has admitted the song 'Temporary Fix' on the band's fifth studio LP has a bit of "dirt and grit" to it, which was inspired by his past "grungy" nights out.
Speaking to MTV News, the Irish hunk explained: "It [the song] has got a bit of dirt to it, a bit of grit to it.
"It's basically about being in the bar, and some guy is chewing the ear off you. He's got a few drinks on him, and you can tell by her body language that she doesn't want to be there, so you come over to her, chat to her..."
He added with a grin: "Then the chorus is basically about 'I can be your temporary fix'.
"We don't have to call it anything - just kinda... it's relatable I guess. Everyone has a grungy night out now and then."
Meanwhile, Niall isn't the only one who has drawn on his experiences to help write a track as his bandmate Harry Styles, 21, opened up about his relationship with Taylor Swift, whom he dated from October 2012 until January 2013, in the popular group's new catchy single 'Perfect.'
A music source said previously: "Harry would never get too specific about Taylor in a song, but the lyrics are definitely going to get fans speculating.
"He doesn't want to dish the dirt but a relationship as intense as theirs has provided lots of inspiration."
'Made in the A.M.' is set for release on November 13.
