Justin Bieber has surprised fans by dropping a new album called SWAG, which features emotional songs and voice notes including Therapy Sessions, Glory Voice Memo and All I Can Take
Justin Bieber has surprised fans by dropping a new album titled SWAG. The Baby singer released new music, with tracks including Therapy Sessions, Dadz Love and Devotion amongst others.
In his emotional album – which some fans are describing as his best work yet – Justin opened up about his own feelings and emotions at length, where he and his collaborators sang and spoke about their emotions.
Justin has concerned fans as of late with his erratic social media posts, and there had even been rumours he had split from his wife Hailey Bieber. However, it seems like they are stronger than ever as he shared a snap of them and their son to mark the album release.
Here’s all the most heartbreaking lyrics in Justin’s new album.
All I Can Take
In his song All I Can Take, Justin sings about “no one listening” and talks about the “symptoms of his sensitivity”. He explains in the lyrics: “These symptoms of my sensitivity / Feels worser knowin’ no one’s listening / This is it, I can’t change, Lord knows I try.”
In another part of the song, he sings about all he can take, as he shares: “And it’s all I can take (In this moment) / And it’s all I can take (All I can take) / And it’s all I can take (In this moment).”
Daisies
In Daisies, he talks about whether someone loves him or not and his own fears about the future of a bond with someone else. He makes no specific reference to any relationship including that of his wife Hailey Bieber.
In the song, he sings, “Throwin’ petals like, “Do you love me or not?” / Head is spinnin’, and it don’t know when to stop / You said “Forever,” babe, did you mean it or not? / Hold on, hold on.”
Go Baby
In his track Go Baby, Justin sings about supporting someone else as they struggle. He promises them they can cry on his shoulder whenever they need and that they “don’t need to pretend” they’re ok.
“When sunlight turns to shadow and it gets hard to face / Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain / Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break / Don’t need to pretend that you’re okay,” he sings.
“So cry on my shoulder, just turn into me / Cry on my shoulder whenever you need it / You better believe it that I can hold all the weight and shrivel inside.”
Butterflies
In Butterflies, Justin sings about someone just wanting money from him. Money has been a big topic surrounding Justin as he reportedly owed $26 million to his former manager Scooter Braun. Braun stepped in to pay for Justin when he was given an advance for his Justice tour, which he cancelled.
Justin has now reportedly agreed to pay back the $26 million as well as half of a whopping $11 million that Braun claimed he was owed in unpaid commissions.
In his song, he sings: “You just want money / Money, money, money, money, money, money / Money, get out of here, bro / Money, that’s all you want, you don’t care about human beings / All you want is money.”
Walking Away
In his track Walking Away, Justin worryingly sings about being “defenceless” and wanting to change.
“Days go by so fast, don’t wanna spend them with you / So tell me why you’re throwing stones at my back / You know I’m defenceless,” he sings, whilst in another bit, he adds: “I made you a promise / I told you I’d change / It’s just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain’t walking away.”
Glory Voice Memo
Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking moments of the album, he sings about being used and “let down”.
He sings over a heavy bassline: “I’ve been used, and I’ve been beaten down / I been let down and strung out / Too wild when I fall down, screaming out / But I, I reach out my hands, I’m beggin’ You for mercy.”
Therapy Sessions
In Therapy Sessions, Justin speaks openly about his feelings and struggles, addressing the concerns in full for the first time.
He tells his collaborator Druski: “And that’s been a tough thing for me recently / It’s feelin’ like, you know, I have had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human / As all of us do really publicly.
“And so people are always askin’ if I’m okay / And that starts to really weigh on me.” When Druski talks about people’s reaction to his comments, he adds: “It starts to make me feel like I’m the one with issues and everyone else is perfect.”
Fan feedback
Since the album dropped, fans have been taking to social media to share their concerns. One wrote: “Damn it hurt me listening like , I just kept thinking that’s exactly what’s going on inside his head right now, very sad man indeed. And music is a Pass. Sorry Justin.. it’s just terrible,” as another added: “I really need people to listen to this album not expecting justin bieber but just justin. it’s raw, it’s real, it’s vulnerable and you can tell it was therapeutic for him to make.
“He stepped away for years and made his most authentic project yet. it’s an album full of REAL music, it’s an album full of JUSTIN, a man who loves to make music for the ART. i truly love everything about it.”
Another added: “YOU FOUND YOUR SOUND JB THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM YET.”
