Justin Bieber releases new album 'SWAG II'
Justin Bieber has officially dropped new music.
The singer released his album "SWAG II" shortly after midnight Friday after teasing the news of its release Thursday on Instagram.
His announcement -- spread out across multiple Instagram posts -- included several images and videos of billboards featuring the pink album cover, accompanied by variations of the caption, "Swag II tonight at midnight."
Now released, "SWAG II" features nearly two dozen songs, including "Better Man," “Speed Demon" and “Love Song.”
Bieber released "SWAG" in July, a 21-track album that marked his seventh studio release and followed his 2021 album "Justice," which featured the hit single "Peaches."
Ahead of its debut, he teased the project on billboards in New York City's Times Square, Atlanta and more, as well as in Iceland, where he is reported to have recorded much of the album.
In May, Travel + Leisure reported Bieber was working on new music at Flòki Studios at Eleven Deplar Farm in Iceland.
The album "SWAG," which includes collaborations with Dijon, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, Eddie Benjamin, Marvin Winans, Gunna, Lil B and Druski, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2, breaking Bieber's run of six straight No. 1 debuts.
Despite this, the release delivered Bieber's strongest streaming performance to date, pulling in nearly 200 million on-demand plays.
The album's lead single, "Daisies," also opened at No. 2 on the Hot 100.
