Never say never! Justin Bieber surprised fans Friday by releasing 'Swag,' his seventh studio album, hours after he teased it on billboards and social media posts.
It is his first album since 2021's 'Justice' and his first since becoming a father last year.
'Inspired by his devotion as a husband and father, this new era of music has fueled a deeper perspective and more reflective sound, resulting in some of his most personal music yet,' Def Jam Recordings said of the 21-track album.

Billboards depicting Bieber were found by fans Thursday in Reykjavik, Iceland, and Los Angeles. The singer also shared images of billboards on his official Instagram account along with a tracklist that included song names like 'All I Can Take,' 'Walking Away,' 'Dadz Love' and 'Forgiveness.'
Recommendations for an intimate new album
There's a lot to love across the 21-tracks of the intimate 'Swag.' Here are a few choice cuts.
1. 'Daises' — The second track on the album may very well be its strongest; an exemplar in Bieber's slow-burn brand of alternative R&B-pop, now anchored with lo-fi guitar. Here, his sweet voice is pronounced — exactly what his most dedicated fans want to hear.
2. 'Devotion' ft. Dijon — Dijon is a rising R&B voice; some fans might be familiar with his 2021 debut album 'Absolutely' or his contribution to Bon Iver's'SABLE, fABLE' from earlier this year. He makes for a standout collaboration on 'Swag,' a sweet song about deepening affection.
3. 'Go Baby' - Bieber married the model Hailey Bieber (nee Baldwin) in 2018; she's long been source material for his most loving tracks. 'Go Baby' is a standout for that reason. 'That's my baby, she's iconic,' he opens the track, 'iPhone case, lip gloss on it,' referencing her Rhode skincare and beauty brand, which sold to Elf Beauty in a $1 billion deal.

4. 'Walking Away' - Marriage isn't easy; that's clear on 'Walking Away,' a slightly-more-uptempo track where Bieber makes his dedication evident. It's the perfect song for dancing in the kitchen with your partner.
Bieber before 'Swag'
Bieber, the two-time Grammy Award winning singer and Canadian pop idol who revolutionized teen pop and social media fame, is best known for his silky R&B pop lyric tenor, demonstrated on the diamond-selling 'Baby,' 'Sorry,' and 'Stay' with the Kid Laroi. At the beginning of his career, and as a tween, Bieber began working with Usher and the influential music manager Scooter Braun.
In 2023, Bieber sold the rights to his music — all six of his albums, including hits like 'Sorry' and 'Baby' — to Hipgnosis, a U.K-based music investment company. The deal's financial details were not disclosed, but Billboard Magazine reports that the sale was worth an estimated $200 million.
In August 2024, Justin and Hailey Bieber announced the birth of their first child, Jack Blues Bieber.

Fact Check: Are Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, & Hailey Bieber in The Devil Wears Prada 2? Here's the truth behind viral photos

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production, and just like the original, it's already turning heads. With Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt returning to the big screen, fans are buzzing. But in recent days, that buzz turned into full-on internet chaos thanks to viral photos suggesting Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Hailey Bieber would make cameos in the upcoming sequel. The rumour mill took off fast—but is any of it actually true? Let's find out. Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Hailey Bieber's cameo in The Devil Wears Prada? Not quite! Social media went into overdrive after fan accounts began sharing images of Justin, Hailey, and Selena styled in what appeared to be high-fashion, streetwear-forward looks, claiming they were snapped on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2. The alleged cameos sparked everything from memes to think pieces, especially considering the trio's very public history. However, a closer look reveals that none of these images are actually from the movie set—or even from the same time period. Let's break it down: Justin Bieber: The photo circulating of him in mechanic-core fashion isn't new. It's from March 2025, when he made a rare public appearance in a laid-back outfit that was widely discussed for marking a shift from his usual style. He was not linked to any movie filming at the time. Justin Bieber spotted filming scenes for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' in New York City today Selena Gomez: The viral shot of Selena in a layered, New York-chic look dates back to May 2025, during production for the latest season of Only Murders in the Building. That was part of her on-set wardrobe for the Hulu series—completely unrelated to The Devil Wears Prada 2. selena gomez on the set of 'the devil wears prada 2' in new york city Hailey Bieber: The image of Hailey in all-black leather is even older—it's from 2022, when she was promoting her skincare brand Rhode in Los Angeles. That outfit was part of a press day, not a film shoot. Hailey Bieber spotted filming scenes for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' in New York City today! So, while the images were real, their context has been wildly misrepresented. What is confirmed about The Devil Wears Prada 2? The actual production of The Devil Wears Prada 2, a sequel to the 2000 cult classic, began on June 30, 2025, filming in both New York and Paris under the code name Cerulean, a stylish inside joke that long-time fans instantly picked up on. Meryl Streep is reprising her role as the icy fashion editor Miranda Priestly, while Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt return as Andy and Emily. Several photos of Anne Hathaway and clips of Meryl Streep shooting for the movie in NYC are going viral, and no, they are not fake. New look at Anne Hathaway filming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.' meryl streep as miranda priestly in 2025 everybody Reports suggest the sequel will take on the modern fashion industry, with themes like influencer culture, social media, and fast fashion. As of now, no cameos have been confirmed by the studio. The lore that fuelled the fire The idea of Justin, Selena, and Hailey appearing in the same movie scene, especially one as iconic as The Devil Wears Prada, was enough to set social media ablaze, courtesy of their shared history. For the unversed, Justin and Selena were the on-again-off-again pop power couple of the 2010s, before he married Hailey Baldwin in 2018. Since then, even the smallest headlines involving the trio spark renewed fan drama and endless speculation. Inserting them into a movie famous for its icy stares, career drama, and iconic fashion moments? Too good to be true and, for now, that's exactly what it is. FAQs Are Justin, Selena, and Hailey in The Devil Wears Prada 2?No confirmed evidence. The viral images are misdated and unrelated to the film. Were the images from the set of the movie? No. Each photo was taken at separate times and locations, years apart in Hailey's case. Is The Devil Wears Prada 2 in production? Yes, as of June 30, 2025, filming is under the code name Cerulean. So unless the studio confirms a surprise cameo (and stranger things have happened in Hollywood), fans may have to settle for just the original Runway crew this time around. And honestly? That's still groundbreaking.
