"Justin Bieber isn't easing up on the gas. Just months after dropping SWAG in July 2025, he's back with SWAG II - an even bigger, bolder follow-up that clocks in at more than two hours. In an era when most artists trim albums down to fit streaming trends, Bieber is doing the opposite, flexing with a 44-track marathon that feels part victory lap, part experiment, and part statement of sheer stamina."
"The lineup of collaborators reads like a carefully curated cross-section of contemporary music. Tems adds a soulful lift to "I THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL," while Bakar slides into "DON'T WANNA" with his genre-bending ease. Hurricane Chris resurfaces with surprising energy on "POPPIN' MY S***," and Eddie Benjamin not only drops in for "OPEN UP YOUR HEART" but also revisits the original SWAG track alongside Cash Cobain."
"The timing of this release is striking. SWAG, Bieber's July project, debuted at No. 2 and marked his strongest streaming week to date. Instead of sitting back and savoring the win, he's come back with something sprawling, designed to keep the momentum rolling and the conversation alive. At 44 tracks, SWAG II isn't just an album - it's a playlist-worthy ecosystem meant to live on repeat and in rotation across countless moods."
Justin Bieber returned months after SWAG with SWAG II, a 44-track, two-hour-plus project that emphasizes scale and stamina over streaming-era brevity. The album assembles an eclectic roster of collaborators across genres, including Tems, Bakar, Hurricane Chris, Eddie Benjamin, Gunna, Druski, Dijon, Lil B, Sexyy Red, and Marvin Winans. The project combines elements of trap, R&B, soul, gospel, and comedic interludes, aiming to cover varied moods and sounds. The release follows SWAG's strong streaming debut and appears designed to sustain momentum. The record functions as both a sprawling playlist and a statement about creative ambition and commercial persistence.
