Justin Bieber and One Direction are both releasing new albums on Nov. 13. The British boyband's fifth album, "Made in the A.M." is their first without Zayn Malik, while Bieber's "Purpose" is his first full-length album since 2012's "Believe." Both albums have been much awaited by their fans, but Bieber appears to have some negative feelings about sharing an album release date with the foursome.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the "Baby" singer sent out a Snapchat to his fans last month wherein he said, "That face you make when you come out with an album the day as Justin Bieber," before making a face.

In a radio interview with New Zealand's "Smash! The Edge" last week, Bieber said that the same release date appears to be a "strategy" on the boyband's part.

"I don't know if they're really going on the road much, but we're talking about them right now, so it gives them some promo, right," he said. "So that's probably why they did it…I think it was strategy on their part, because my release date was first."

When asked if he gave Niall Horan a call to ask about "what's going on," Bieber denied that he made the call and thinks that it's all "friendly competition."

"I'm excited, I'm really excited," he said.

Both albums feature songs that have made it to the top of the Billboard charts. Bieber's single, "What Do You Mean," made it to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 list, making him the youngest male to ever have a song debut to reach that height. Meanwhile, One Direction's "Drag Me Down" has also consistently placed high on the Hot 100 list.

It was reported that Bieber was the first one to announce Nov. 13 as his album's release date. For now, the singer will be keeping an eye on what happens on the said date.

"It's whatever. It's gonna be fun. I'm excited to see what happens," he said.
