Justin Bieber's new album, SWAG, features the song "Walking Away," which candidly explores marital struggles with his wife, Hailey. Rather than celebrate their love, the song reflects on their relationship issues and personal shortcomings. Bieber reminds Hailey of the marriage promise he made, asking for forgiveness during their challenges. The couple, married in 2018 and parents to son Jack since 2024, has faced divorce rumors. To address these rumors, Bieber posed with Hailey and Jack for the album photoshoot, demonstrating their commitment to remaining united amidst struggles.
Like much of SWAG, "Walking Away" is inspired by old-school R&B. But rather than celebrate his love with Hailey, Bieber directly addresses their issues, even questioning why "you're throwing stones at my back" and asking to reflect on their own behavior.
Bieber reminds her (and listeners) of the promise he made when they got married, vowing once again to stick with his wife through thick and thin, and asking for forgiveness when he slips up.
The couple got married in 2018 after several years of on-and-off dating, and welcomed their son Jack in 2024. Since having their first child, the two have frequently navigated divorce rumors.
Bieber found a way to quell the divorce rumors even before releasing the album, posing with Hailey and their son Jack for the SWAG album photoshoot. Hailey also shared his album announcement on Instagram, making it clear that they were a united front, no matter what they've gone through.
