"Swag" is Justin Bieber's first album since becoming a father last year, and his first since "Justice," which was released in 2021.

Now, seemingly out of nowhere, Bieber is back with the surprise release of his seventh studio album Swag. In the lead-up to the album’s release, the Canadian hitmaker signaled that he was dealing with personal issues that may or may not come out in forthcoming music.

Usher (L) and Justin Bieber arrive at the Kids' Choice Awards on March 28, 2009 in Los Angeles. Later that year, Bieber's first album, "My World," would debuted at No. 6 on Billboard's charts.
