Justin Bieber to Drop Unexpected Follow-Up Album ‘Swag II’

This is a good year for the Beliebers. After not releasing any official albums for four years, Justin Bieber is feeding his fans well this year. His fans are now getting another surprise album release, within just two months after the release of his previous surprise album, ‘Swag’!

Justin Bieber is keeping fans on their toes with the return of his R&B era. His record ‘Swag’ first arrived on 11th July and quickly caught the attention of listeners worldwide. Now, just weeks later, he has revealed its sequel, ‘Swag II’. It is set to drop at midnight ET on Friday, 5th September. Bieber announced on social media with a short message that read, “swag II midnight tonight,” alongside minimalist cover art showing the album title against a bright pink background.

The rollout for ‘Swag II’ has been just as bold as the music itself. Fans across the globe have already spotted the new album’s artwork displayed on large signs in major cities. Bieber shared photos on Instagram of the pink design shining in Los Angeles, Paris, and even Shanghai, fueling excitement for the late-night release. The surprise sequel marks another big moment in Bieber’s career as he revisits and expands on the world of ‘Swag’.

The first installment of ‘Swag’ delivered 21 tracks, including three interludes. The labrum made an impressive debut at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. This project cemented Bieber’s R&B shift from pop while flaunting his versatility across a wide set of music arrangements. Standout single from the album, ‘Daisies’, proved to be a fan-favorite. It even holds strong on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks! The success of Bieber’s seventh studio album, ‘Swag,’ set the perfect stage for a sequel, and now the artist is just delivering what seems to be some of his best and most fun songs!

Billboard earlier hinted that Justin Bieber had more music coming after the release of ‘Swag’. The Grammy winner’s project leaned heavily into R&B, even reaching No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart. Now, with ‘Swag II’ on the horizon, sources suggest a shift in style. Unlike its predecessor, the new record is expected to carry a stronger pop influence, giving fans a fresh side of Bieber’s sound. The first ‘Swag’ dropped just over a month before the 2026 Grammy eligibility window closed on August 30. That timing leaves ‘Swag II’ positioned for the following cycle, opening the door for potential nominations at the 2027 awards. This also means Bieber will not have to compete with himself across categories next year, giving each project its own spotlight and chance to shine. The strategic release schedule could help maximize recognition for both albums in different Grammy seasons.

Track list of ‘Swag II’

 Song lyric platform Genius reports that Justin Bieber’s “Swag II” will feature the following tracks:

 

• ‘Open Up Your Heart’
• ‘Into Your Arms’
• ‘Lovin U’
• ‘Big Stepper’
• ‘When It’s Over’
• ‘All The Way’
• ‘Petting Zoo’
• ‘Speed Demon’

In the months after releasing ‘Swag’, Bieber stayed busy shooting for music videos, according to sources. He has also been sharing pictures from studio sessions. This made the fans excited, thinking the singer might be hinting that this album probably would not be the last of him anytime soon!
