The video begins with Bieber flipping his then-signature swooping hairdo. Then, Hailey's dad, actor and producer Stephen Baldwin, makes the introduction.
"This is my daughter, Hailey," he says.
Hailey briefly uncrosses her arms to seemingly shake Bieber's hands. "Nice to meet you," she says.
"We've, uh, really been enjoying your music," Stephen says.
As People pointed out, it's not the first time this video has resurfaced. In 2016, Bieber fan accounts brought the clip to the star's attention.
"Haha. Amazing," Bieber said of the encounter.

But what happened in the nearly 10 years after the video? Well, it's Certified American History.
Bieber and Baldwin dated in 2015 and 2016, but got back together earlier this year. The couple reportedly got engaged while on vacation in the Bahamas, as TMZ first reported.
It's unclear if it was love at first sight, but hey you never know.
