On July 11, the singer dropped his long-awaited seventh studio album, Swag, under Def Jam—a move that nobody saw coming until billboards popped up in Reykjavik and Los Angeles and Bieber ignited his social media with cryptic teasers. The album immediately set the internet ablaze: fans on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) revived “Bieber Fever” and group chats exploded, celebrating what many are calling his most personal and vulnerable project yet, according to the LA Times. Swag is Bieber’s first full-length studio release in over four years, and marks a significant moment in his evolution as both an artist and a person.
