Justin Bieber’s Swag II has finally arrived. Not at midnight as promised, but after all, Friday isn’t over yet.
Swag II, the sequel album to Swag, boasts 23 songs, making it a whopping 44 songs in total (both albums combined), making it his first album to have such a mega track list.
The album was released with some delay, which Bieber justified by posting, “I’m sorry for the wait their telling me any second,” on his Instagram. Followed by another image which showed a couple of texts reading as, “it should be up any minute, it’s like rightttt there”.

Swag II is available on streamers like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and others.
The song features guest appearances from Tems, Bakar, Lil B, Hurricane Chris, Eddie Benjamin, Gunna, Sexxy Red, Dijon and comedian Druski.
While seemingly Bieber’s anxiety was building up due to the delay in the release, his fans were losing patience, too.
In a screenshot of his conversation with manager David Waltzer shared on Instagram, Bieber seemed to be panicking.
The same post, which was captioned, “It’s comingggggg”, started getting flooded with comments demanding the new music.

One fan wrote, “Am I being gaslit rn,” while another commented, “It’s not clocking to you that my bedtime was 10pm.”
A third wrote, “bro where is it bro i got work tmrw at 7 bro.”
Another said, “we need dat now, expeditiously.”
But amidst all the delay, Bieber made sure to keep the album-tease game up and made sure the fans didn’t sleep, or at least kept the hype going.
And all of this is Justi-fied because Bieber had released new music after a hiatus of four years. His last release was Justice in 2021.
While Swag debuted with 163,000 units on over 198 million streams and made it Bieber’s strongest streaming debut of his career, it’s yet to be seen what numbers Swag II will earn him.
