Swag is the follow-up to Bieber’s last full-length release, his 2021 No. 1 albumJustice, which rose to the top of the Billboard 200 chart for two weeks.
The new set from Bieber arrived with little warning, a day after teaser billboards first popped up in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Reykjavík — one of which featured an image of the singer and his family, wife Hailey and son Jack, and others that previewed the album title and its songs.
Among the enthusiasts of Bieber’s latest is his former manager, Scooter Braun, whose Instagram Story-shared opinion is that the body of work is “the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It’s beautiful, raw, and truly him.” See Billboard‘s ranking of all 21 album tracks here.
