The 'Boyfriend' singer revealed that One Direction had visited his home recently and that his supporting act The Wanted are "super talented".
"[One Direction] were here a couple of days ago, they hung out at my house," he told Daybreak. "We never worked on anything, we just hung out, they're just cool. They're around my age."
When asked if a potential collaboration was in the cards, he said: "Yeah, of course."
On the boyband's rivals The Wanted, he added: "The Wanted are great and super talented, they're super nice kids."
Bieber also said that he prefers to keep his career and personal relationships away from each other at all times.
He said: "I try to keep my career and private life separate. If you expose yourself to the world, I'm not going to have anything to myself."
Bieber's new single 'Boyfriend' has been released in the UK ahead of its original scheduled date of May 20.
He recently revealed that a song on his forthcoming album of the same name will be called 'As Long As You Love Me'.
