Swag II comes after a turbulent few years for Bieber, marked by health struggles, the cancellation of his Justice world tour, and his split from longtime manager Scooter Braun. Now a first-time father, Bieber balances personal milestones with what critics see as some of his most creative and adventurous music to date.
