Happy Mother's Day from Justin Bieber!

The 18-year-old pop sensation released "Turn to You" Friday, a very personal Mother's Day dedication. In the lyrics, the Biebs thanks his mom, Pattie Mallette, and also reasons, "You were just my age when you had me, Mom. You were so brave."

Adorable. But what really adds to the sweetness of J.B.'s song is who he's giving the profits to...

"The proceeds will go to help other single moms," he tweeted Monday. He added later in the week, "Help moms in need. Give them strength. thank u mom."

Mallette herself was honored by her son's creation. "@justinbieber wrote me a song for Mother's day!" she tweeted. "So excited 4 #TurnToYou out 2morrow, it made me cry...Proceeds going 2 help single moms!"

Mallette encouraged her son's fans to "please donate to help other moms!" She tweeted, "Everyone thinks everyone else will do it, but it will close without ur help! savebethesda.org"

London, Ontario's Bethesda Centre, which helped Mallette and Justin during their time of need, will close if they don't raise $1.5 million by May 31."If it weren't for Bethesda, I'm not sure where Justin or I would be," Mallette said. "Bethesda gave us a chance."
