Justin Bieber used his new album, Swag II, to gush over his relationship with wife Hailey Bieber.
On the R&B love song “I Do,” Justin, 31, appears to reaffirm his wedding vows to his wife, singing, “I do / I mean it when I say that I do / Nobody gets to touch you / I do / You’ll always be the one that I choose.”
Justin continues to croon over Hailey, 28, over romantic R&B beats on the songs “I Think You’re Special” and “Mother in You.”
“Ain’t no other love like this / It’s the reason you exist / We don’t gotta try no, baby / I think you’re special,” he sings on the former track, while “Mother in You” is an ode to both Hailey and their 1-year-old son, Jack.
“You opened your eyes / That was when I knew, we were changing / There’s a beautiful world that’s waiting for you / I vow in good faith to never let you down / Here and now, always, I’ll be around,” Justin sings about his little one.
During the chorus, Justin expresses how much of Hailey he sees in Jack, singing, “Your mother in you,” and in the second verse, he adds, “My smile, her grace, both of our hearts / Oh, child, every day you’re the best part.”
Justin surprised fans on Thursday, September 4, when he announced that the follow-up to Swag would be dropping at midnight — less than two months after its predecessor was released.
“Swag II tonight at midnight,” Justin wrote via Instagram alongside a video of a Swag II billboard. He then uploaded several more promotional photos of the album art around the world, including some taken in New York City and Seoul, South Korea.
Us Weekly previously confirmed in July that Justin had plans to release a second album not long after the first Swag debuted. (He also announced that album just one day before its official release.)
“[Swag] is more of a personal project that Justin has been wanting to put out, almost like a mixtape,” an insider explained to Us at the time. “His label is [also] planning a more traditional pop album.”
Hailey was mentioned all over the first Swag, which included guest appearances from Dijon, Gunna, Druski, Lil B, Sexxy Red and more. On the song “Go Baby,” Justin gave a shout-out to Hailey’s beauty brand, Rhode, and its now-famous Lip Case.
“That’s my baby / She’s iconic / iPhone case / Lip gloss on it,” Justin sang in the first verse.
The track “Walking Away,” meanwhile, seemingly addressed rumors that Hailey and Justin’s marriage was on the rocks after months of speculation about his mental health.
“You are my diamond / Gave you a ring / Made you a promise / I told you I’d change,” read the lyrics of the song’s chorus. “It’s just human nature / These growing pains / And baby I ain’t walking away.”
Justin and Hailey, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed their first baby, son Jack Blues, in August 2024. Both Hailey and Jack, 12 months, appear in the album art for both Swag and Swag II.
After Swag’s release, an insider told Us that Justin and Hailey’s relationship was in a “much better place.”
“There’s a sense of relief on both sides,” the source explained in August. “Justin’s behavior has been more relaxed. He felt a lot of pressure hanging over him and has been in a better mental headspace these last few weeks. He is very happy there have been positive reviews of the album and that fans like it.”
