Justin Bieber Returns With New Album Swag After Four-Year Break

Justin Bieber has officially returned to the music scene with the announcement of his seventh studio album, Swag, set for release on July 12, 2025, marking his first album in four years. The 20-track album, featuring collaborations with artists such as Gunna, Sexyy Red, and Cash Cobain, explores deeper and more vulnerable themes including fatherhood and his marriage, with titles like 'Therapy Session' and 'Forgiveness.' Bieber has shared glimpses of the album's development through social media, including studio sessions in Los Angeles and Iceland, where he was also spotted holidaying with his wife Hailey and their son Jack. The album follows a period of personal challenges for Bieber, including a diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2 that led to facial paralysis and a pause in his career, as well as public struggles with mental health and anger issues. Hailey Bieber publicly supported the comeback, dismissing breakup rumors and referencing Bieber's viral moment responding to paparazzi scrutiny. Swag represents a fresh chapter for Bieber after settling financial disputes with his former manager and selling his music catalogue earlier in 2023.
