After reports surfaced that Justin Bieber was preparing the surprise release of his first album in four years, the 21-song collection has arrived.
The new album, SWAG, was released today (11 July) after being announced yesterday, with billboards placed in multiple locations across the globe, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Reykjavik, Iceland.
Bieber himself started teasing the album on social media by sharing videos and photos relating to the release, and revealed the 21-song tracklist.
Bieber produced the album alongside collaborators including mk.gee, Daniel Caesar, Dijon, Dylan Wiggins, Carter Lang, Daniel Chetrit, Eddie Benjamin, Knox Fortune, and others.
According to a press release (and the songs you can listen to below), SWAG was inspired by Bieber’s journey as a father and a husband, fuelling a “deeper perspective and more reflective sound, resulting in some of his most personal music yet.”
You can listen to the album below.

In January, it was reported that Bieber was getting ready to make a comeback in music. SWAG is the follow-up to 2021’s Justice. During the promotion for that album, he cancelled many shows on the tour promoting his previous album due to the COVID-19 pandemic and suffering health issues. SWAG comes after Bieber married his wife, Hailey (nee Baldwin), in 2018, and the pair welcomed their first child last year.
