After six months of non-stop drama and online speculation about his marriage, Justin Bieber has announced that he was hiding an ace up his sleeve the whole damn time.
Out of the blue, Bieber dropped a new album, Swag, his seventh studio album, which came as a surprise to his fans.
The new music marks his first new album since 2021's Justice, following a four-year hiatus.

The album is described as Bieber's most personal work to date, exploring themes of fatherhood, fame, mental health and his high-profile marriage to wife, Hailey Bieber, who he married in 2018.
Bieber finished recording the album in April in Iceland, with the release teased via cryptic billboards in cities like Reykjavik, Los Angeles and New York.
However, upon its debut, the news cycle quickly shifted away from Justin to Hailey, due to some curious comments she made about the release.
