Justin Bieber’s new album refers to relationship issues that are being interpreted as nods to turbulent times in his marriage to Hailey Bieber, even calling her out for pretending everything is peachy.

The 31-year-old “Peaches” singer’s newest album, “Swag,” arrived Friday with 21 new songs and plenty of grist for the rumor mill.

“Daisies,” the second track, asks, “Throwin’ petals like, ‘Do you love me or not?’ … You said ‘Forever,’ babe, did you mean it or not?” The Grammy winner then croons, “If you need time, just take your time/ Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it.”

Fourth track, “Go Baby,” acknowledges when “it gets hard to face … Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break/ Don’t need to pretend that you’re OK.”

But maybe the most telling of the songs is “Walking Away,” in which Bieber sings “I think we better off if we just take a break/ And remember what grace is.

 

“Baby, I ain’t walking away/ You were my diamond/ Gave you a ring/ 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.”

Hailey, 28, on Thursday reportedly captioned a shot of the album cover art, “Is it finally clocking to you f–ing losers?” in an Instagram story. At the time of publication, that particular post was not up.

In May, in the cover story for Vogue’s Summer Issue, the Rhode founder shut down any speculation that the marriage is on the rocks. On the contrary, she said, the majority of stories published about her are “not real.”

“Swag” marks Bieber’s seventh studio album and first since 2021’s “Justice.”
