Canadian music sensation Justin Bieber dropped his seventh album, “Swag,” on Friday, only hours after teasing it on social media.

Featuring 21 tracks with a total runtime of 54 minutes, the album marks the 31-year-old singer’s comeback, over three years after his last single, “Honest” a collaboration with Don Toliver.

His previous album, “Justice,” came out in 2021.

For this latest project, Bieber teamed up with several American rappers, including Gunna, Lil B, and Cash Cobain.

On Thursday, he shared a video on his Instagram account revealing the tracklist for Swag displayed on a massive screen in New York City’s Times Square.

Posters promoting the album also surfaced this week in Reykjavik, Iceland — the location where, according to U.S. media reports, Bieber completed the album in April.

This marks a return for Bieber, who had stepped away from the public eye for a period.

His dedicated fanbase, known as the “Beliebers,” had been eagerly anticipating new music for several months.

In 2022, Bieber had to cancel the remaining 82 shows of his 131-date world tour after disclosing that he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a neurological condition that caused partial facial paralysis.

Just hours after the album dropped, the hashtag #SWAGOUTNOW surged to the top of global trends on X, highlighting the overwhelming excitement from his fanbase.

Bieber first gained fame in 2010 at the age of 15 with his worldwide hit “Baby,” quickly rising as a teen pop sensation before later exploring R&B.

In August 2024, Bieber and his wife, Hailey, welcomed their first child, Jack Blues.
