Forever means different things to different people.
Justin Bieber has released a surprise album called Swag that appears to reveal struggles in his marriage with Hailey Bieber. The 31-year-old singer’s new work contains several songs that hint at relationship challenges and emotional hardships between the couple.
According to Page Six, the Grammy winner’s album features multiple tracks where he openly discusses his marriage, including songs that talk about taking breaks and questioning love. In one song, he asks his partner if they truly meant “forever” when they said it, showing signs of uncertainty in the relationship.
In a notable revelation from the album, Bieber sings about his partner “throwing stones at his back” when he’s “defenseless,” suggesting he feels vulnerable in the relationship. Despite these difficulties, he maintains his commitment, singing Baby, I ain’t walking away, and reminds listeners of his promise and the ring he gave to his wife.
How the couple is dealing with marriage speculation
The release comes amid ongoing public speculation about their marriage, which has been fueled by recent reports suggesting the couple is struggling to save their relationship. Hailey Bieber has previously addressed these rumors in a Vogue cover story, expressing frustration at people who continue to spread stories about their relationship, especially after they had their child.
The couple, who have been together since 2016 and married in 2018, recently welcomed their son Jack, who is now 10 months old. They appear in family photos promoting the new album, showing a united front despite the revealing nature of Justin’s lyrics.
Hailey has shown support for the album by sharing its promotion in Times Square through her Instagram Stories, though with a confrontational message to critics. The couple continues to present themselves as united in public, sharing vacation photos and family moments on social media.
Through songs like Daisies and Go Baby, Justin acknowledges the challenges while expressing his continued dedication to the marriage. He even references Hailey’s Rhode makeup brand and calls her ‘iconic,’ balancing the album’s more serious themes with moments of admiration for his wife, whose billion-dollar Rhode deal has brought attention to the contrast between their respective career trajectories. Representatives for both Justin and Hailey Bieber have not yet commented on the album’s personal revelations.
