SWAG by Justin Bieber is a mess...
Added 2025-07-11 17:58:44 +0000 UTCAmazing production. Fantastic vocals. Absolutely TERRIBLE lyrics.
JB did not stand on business. I thought this is where he'd be demanding people to take him more seriously and actually talk about the things he's been going through. Instead, he seems to be stuck mentally as a 17 year old.
DEVOTION and DAISIES were dope though. Think he missed a big opportunity here.

2025-07-14 19:22:20 +0000 UTCHahaha no problem! So far I’m seeing intelligent people say it’s slop with great talent attached to it. The people that don’t think for themselves are loving it.

2025-07-12 16:02:12 +0000 UTCI thought I’ll get through it with you at least.. nope, cant do it. Absolute garbage, lyrics are just school level poetry and I am saying it as someone who has two other languages that came before English😂what a freaking mess.

2025-07-12 14:16:31 +0000 UTCI put it on while driving and absolutely have no recollection of it now. Just.. empty. Lyrics are… I mean his early songs have more meaning than these.. sad.

2025-07-11 23:51:15 +0000 UTCI have so many thoughts about this album and you summed up all of them perfectly. I completely agree with everything you’ve said. Thank you for validating all of my feelings hahaha. I’m very curious to see how the response to this album plays out over the next few days from critics, content creators, and Justin himself.

2025-07-11 22:52:37 +0000 UTCOk! Just finished it! And oh boy you had a lot to say! Wow! Devotion is my fav too, I hear it first when he used on the video he was filming his wife pregnancy (announcement) and I was happy he included it here!

2025-07-11 20:10:28 +0000 UTCI personally loved the production on pretty much this entire album, but yeah… lyrics are pretty mid (aside from a few songs). I honestly would have taken this album with the production ONLY. 😆

2025-07-11 19:56:53 +0000 UTCAbsolutely no notes. Totally agree. I’ve been around SO many people with heavy drug issues, so I can spot that from a mile away. I saw a video of him with Sexyy Redd promoting the song and he looks absolutely lost in the ether. Definitely not a mature or serious person but I truly hope he gets the help he needs. Some people are stuck being victims and he clearly has built up a vicious victim mentality. Time to step up and be a father and a good example. This album was soulless.

2025-07-11 19:36:45 +0000 UTCJustin Bieber is a true example of a manchild based on this album.

2025-07-11 19:32:30 +0000 UTCInteresting perspective 🤔

2025-07-11 19:32:02 +0000 UTCI couldn’t get through it on my own so jumped inte your reaction instead. I think I’ve never hated on Justin too hard even when he messed up because of how badly the industry treated him from such a young age. And then him not having a support system. Me and Justin are the same age and I can relate to mental illness and not feeling mature. HOWEVER what you said struck something with me. I’ve chosen not to have kids because i felt that my issues wouldn’t make me the best parent. But he is a parent now and you have to get better if you chose to have kids, otherwise its not him i feel for anymore but the child. Its selfish not to mature when you choose kids. And this album proved that mature he is unfortunately not. I LOVE Daisy and I think like you said the vibe is nice. But it lacks substance and i think the songs will be something you can vibe with a few weeks and then forget about unfortunately. Its fine but honestly the lyrics… its like a teenage wrote them. Which makes me think of the fact that the lyrics of his older songs have more substance. I hope he gets help for his kid and matures. Damn his voice is amazing though The skits are so cringey… eminems latest albums had skits but they fit and were part of his persona, this feels out of place and idk… weird haha. ”I actually feel like im getting dumber listening to this album” yep that sums it up hahaha

2025-07-11 19:23:37 +0000 UTCSee I don’t feel this way this album almost feels more to me like what can happen of you throw someone in a booth with no writing seasons and I think that’s why it feels raw organic and incomplete bc it doesn’t feel meticulated over it feels more like art that came from someone who wasn’t trying to make a hit or reach an audience in any specific way, this to me feels more like therapy sessions and he’s using his voice as his therapy and that song always produce lyrical genius

2025-07-11 19:14:35 +0000 UTCI've seen you react to a lot of different artists, and I can usually glean which ones you like more than others (u love Gaga for sure), but this is the most direct I've seen yet bahahaha. Love that you're honest!
