"Swag" is Justin Bieber's first album since becoming a father last year, and his first since "Justice," which was released in 2021.

Generally well-received, Swag has been praised by listeners as “ mature ” and “ authentic ,” with one fan account calling the album his “declaration of independence.” Bieber’s label, Def Jam, announced on Saturday that the album had reached the top spot on both the global and U.S. Apple Music and Spotify album charts.
