· Justin Bieber has officially released his seventh studio album, SWAG and it’s being called one of the most personal and vulnerable projects of his career.
· The 21-track album, released Friday by Def Jam, explores themes of mental health, marriage struggles, and fatherhood, all delivered through a more soulful, stripped-back sound.
· Standout tracks include “Walking Away,” where Bieber appears to reflect on challenges in his relationship with Hailey Bieber, and “Standing on Business,” which incorporates audio from a recent real-life exchange with paparazzi.
· The album features a diverse mix of collaborators, including Sexyy Red, Gunna, Dijon, Lil B, 2 Chainz, Druski, and Cash Cobain, but maintains a clear, consistent tone that feels deeply introspective.
· Four years after Justice, SWAG marks a creative evolution for Bieber...one that seems grounded in self-awareness, maturity, and authenticity.
