Just hours after<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/justin-bieber-announces-album-swag-1235382891\/\"> cryptically teasing his comeback,<\/a> the singer has released <em>Swag<\/em>, his first full-length LP in four years. Almost as if he wanted to make up for lost time, Bieber stuffed the record with 21 new songs, including collaborations with Gunna, Sexyy Red, and Cash Cobain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tA lot has changed for the 31-year-old since his last studio album, <em>Justice<\/em>, which arrived in 2021. He took a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/justin-bieber-officially-cancels-justice-world-tour-dates-1234688554\/\">break from touring<\/a> in 2022, cancelling the remaining 82 shows of the 131-date world tour he launched in support of the record. \u201cAfter getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cSo I\u2019m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I\u2019m going to be ok, but I need time to rest and get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: SWAG\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5vD5M5VW62LL78Ko8x0CVZ?si=DOf96t_vQr2gp5DOXDykRA&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn the interim, Bieber welcomed his first child, Jack Blues Bieber, with wife Hailey Bieber in August 2024. Songs on <em>Swag <\/em>reflect the major life change, like the song \u201cDadz Love,\u201d which appears on the second half of the album. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAhead of the album release, Bieber shared versions of the billboard images that he used to announce the album in cities across the world. In one, he faces the camera and Hailey stands in the background holding their child in a diaper. Other photos show Bieber playing with his baby and posing for pictures with Hailey, who also shared photos of several billboards to her own Instagram Story, featuring the word \u201cSwag,\u201d and black-and-white images of Bieber with a buzzcut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIn the weeks and months preceding the record, Bieber has been hyper-active on Instagram, sharing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/justin-bieber-broken-anger-issues-instagram-post-1235365317\/\">candid posts<\/a> that speak to his recent struggles with the paparazzi, his interpersonal relationships, and internal battles stemming from fame. In one recent upload, he responded to the people who \u201ckeep telling me to heal,\u201d writing: \u201cDon\u2019t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I\u2019m broken.

And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow, the more focussed on myself I am. Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others.
