Beliebers will finally be getting new music from Justin Bieber.

First reported by The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday morning, the 31-year-old singer will be releasing his seventh studio album on Friday. The album is rumored to be called Swag because of billboards spotted in Iceland and Los Angeles. Features on the album will include rappers Gunna, Sexyy Red and Cash Cobain, each of whom the Canadian singer has shouted out on social media in the past few months. This will be his first studio album since Justice, which was released in 2021.

Many people have been speculating that Bieber was going to release new music sometime in the near future because of a photo dump posted to Instagram on June 30, which showed him working in a studio. But on Thursday in the early afternoon, Bieber himself confirmed the reports through multiple social media posts, including the tracklist and billboard pictures posted on his Instagram. The new album will have 20 new songs.

When reports circulated around social media and the "Yummy" singer posted multiple photos confirming the release, the Internet freaked out.

"i literally fell to the ground and started crying," a fan commented on one of Bieber's Instagram posts.

An X fan account dedicated to Ariana Grande commented, "did not see this coming, but yes Justin come save summer."
