Released July 11 via Def Jam/ILH, SWAG was announced mere hours before hitting streaming platforms  . The record spans 21 tracks and clocks in at just over 54 minutes, showcasing a blend of pop and R&B infused with experimental flair.

The Vibe & Key Collaborations

• Sound & Style: Lush R&B beats, cinematic atmospheres, and 80s-inspired synths. Prior tracks like “Glory Voice Memo” and “Zuma House” drip with lo-fi intimacy  .

• Featured Guests: A genre-spanning roster including Gunna, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, Lil B, Dijon, Eddie Benjamin, and even comedian Druski, who pops into skits as Bieber’s witty “therapist”  .

• Production Team: Co-produced by Bieber with Dijon, Benjamin, Carter Lang, Mk.gee, and Daniel Caesar—cementing the album’s underground-meets-mainstream texture.

Power Tracks to Highlight

• “All I Can Take”: Opening with a dreamy ‘80s vibe and layered vocals, this track sets an introspective tone about sensitivity and struggles, drawing comparisons to Michael Jackson with smooth synth-riff vibes  .

• “Daisies”: The lead single is a heartfelt, lo-fi ode to Hailey Bieber—raw, intimate, and artistically stripped back. Critics call it the album’s emotional center
