After a four-year break, Justin Bieber is back with a brand new album.

He released 'SWAG' on Friday, July 11, just one day after news about the new project broke. 

"This body of work comprises 21 tracks with production by Justin Bieber in collaboration with Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, Daniel Caesar, Dijon, mk.gee, Daniel Chetrit, Eddie Benjamin, Knox Fortune and more," a statement about the release said. 

'SWAG' is the 31-year-old's seventh studio album. His last album release was 'Justice' in 2021. 

His wife, Hailey Bieber, and their son, Jack Blues, influenced his new album.

"Inspired by his devotion as a husband and father, this new era of music has fueled a deeper perspective and more reflective sound, resulting in some of his most personal music yet."

Hailey and Jack are featured in some of the album's artwork. One image shows Justin carrying Jack on his shoulders. The 10-month-old is upside down, so you can't see his face.

A second image shows Hailey carrying Jack while Justin stares at them with his back facing the camera. 

The album is already getting rave reviews from his fans.

"It’s so good, Justin. I feel like millennials will really appreciate this one," one Belieber said.

Another fan said this could possibly be Justin's best album "because it shows growth". 

"Justin, this album is truly SO different from your past releases, but it’s INCREDIBLE... You found the type of music YOU want to create and it’s absolutely AMAZING. 

"I can’t stop listening to it. I'm already on my 6th listen <3. I’m so, so proud of you for releasing the music you wanted!"
