Less than two months after he dropped his seventh studio album, Justin Bieber<\/a>\u00a0has already made a follow-up.<\/p>\n

The pop star, 31, announced Swag II will be released tonight at midnight – nearly eight weeks after debuting it’s predecessor, Swag, on July 11.<\/a><\/p>\n

Justin made the announcement on his Instagram, flooding his account with various posts promoting the new album around the world.<\/p>\n

The announcement may not come as a complete surprise, considering a ‘Swag II’ billboard had been on display in London in recent days – however this appears to be the first time a release date has been unveiled.<\/p>\n

‘swag II TONIGHT MIDNIGHT,’ Justin announced on his Instagram along with what appeared to be the album artwork.<\/p>\n

The cover, done all in pink, declared ‘SWAG II’ at the center of the photo in the same font as the first album. It also contained a parental advisory for explicit content.<\/p>\n

\"Justin <\/p>\n

Justin Bieber has announced his latest album, Swag II, will be released tonight at midnight<\/p>\n

\"He <\/p>\n

\u00a0He flooded his Instagram account with photos of the album being advertised around the world<\/p>\n

The album also appears to feature a photo of Justin and his family, with a snap of the singer with his wife Hailey Bieber, 28, and their son Jack Blues accompanying the cover.<\/p>\n

Justin’s posts showed the album being advertised on various buildings and landmarks around the world, from Shanghai, Seoul, and New York.<\/p>\n

The singer’s surprise seventh studio album, SWAG, was released to critical acclaim on July 11.<\/p>\n

Several songs made mention of his public persona, personal struggles, and his commitment to his wife Hailey and their baby son Jack Blues.<\/p>\n

There is also a theme of interludes featuring comedian Druski, during which Justin engages in candid ‘therapy sessions’ with the social media star.<\/p>\n

The album also appeared to allude to a challenging time between the couple, who have been married since 2018.<\/p>\n

After months of rumors about the state of the A-list couple’s marriage amid concern for Justin’s well-being he vowed to ‘change’ for his wife following a rocky period.<\/p>\n

In the album’s second track, Daisies, Justin appeared to be singing about him and his wife being at loggerheads and failing to communicate clearly.<\/p>\n

\"Swag <\/p>\n

Swag II was prominently being advertised to New Yorkers walking on this intersection of W 52nd St<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The release was dramatically announced to passerby of the N Seoul Tower in South Korea<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The album’s release was broadcast to Shanghai residents on the Citigroup Tower<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The latest album comes less than eight weeks after the release of Swag<\/p>\n

The lyrics read: ‘Throwin’ petals like, “Do you love me or not?” \/ Head is spinnin’, and it don’t know when to stop \/ You said “Forever,” babe, did you mean it or not? \/ Hold on, hold on.<\/p>\n

‘You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message \/ Instead of a line it’s three dots, but I can connect them \/ And if it ain’t right, babe, you know I respect it \/ But if you need time, just take your time \/ Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it.’<\/p>\n

In track 10 of the 21-song track list, titled Walking Away, Justin sang about the couple ‘taking a break’ and ‘testing patience.’<\/p>\n

‘Days go by so fast, don’t wanna spend them with you \/ So tell me why you’re throwing stones at my back \/ You know I’m defenseless,’ he sings in the first verse.<\/p>\n

‘Girl, we better stop before we say some s*** \/ We’ve been testing our patience \/ I think we better off if we just take a break,’ he continues.<\/p>\n

But the chorus and subsequent verses paint a picture of their enduring love despite strife.<\/p>\n

\"Several <\/p>\n

Several songs from the last album make mention of his public persona, personal struggles, and his commitment to his wife Hailey and their baby son Jack Blues; pictured August 2025<\/p>\n

‘Baby, I ain’t walking away \/ You were my diamond \/ Gave you a ring \/ I made you a promise \/ I told you, I’d change \/ It’s just human nature \/ These growing pains \/ And baby, I ain’t walking away,’ he sang in the chorus.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the album’s release, Hailey had some choice words for their fans as she took to social media to promote it.<\/p>\n

She took aim at the ‘losers’ who’ve speculated about their relationship as she re-posted a photo of her husband’s massive Swag billboard in NYC’s Times Square, captioned: ‘Is it finally clocking to you f***ing losers?’<\/p>\n

She appeared to suggest that Justin’s recent bizarre behavior wasn’t the result of any marriage troubles but due to him being hard at work on his long-awaited music, which he partially recorded in Iceland back in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple celebrated their son Jack’s first birthday on August 22.<\/p>\n

They have maintained the tot’s privacy by opting not to share his face with the world, strategically only sharing photos that give fans small glimpses of him.<\/p>\n

The heir made his music video debut days ago as he appeared in the visualizer for his dad’s hit song Yukon.<\/p>\n
