Swag II

Swag II is the eighth studio album by Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It was surprise-released through Def Jam Recordings and ILH Productions on September 5, 2025. Consisting of 23 tracks in addition to the 21 songs from its sister album Swag, therefore constituting a double album, the album features guest appearances from Tems, Bakar, Hurricane Chris, Lil B, and Eddie Benjamin. Production was handled by Dijon, Carter Lang, Mike Will Made It, Buddy Ross, Daniel Chetrit, Mk.gee, and Dylan Wiggins, among others. The album was supported by two singles, "Love Song" and "Speed Demon". The 56-day gap between the releases of Swag and Swag II marks the shortest period between Bieber's releases to date. The album received mixed reviews from critics, with many criticizing its long runtime and lack of cohesion.
