Justin Bieber has officially dropped his eighth studio album, Swag II, and now that the tracklist is out, fans are finally getting clarity on the collaborations. Released worldwide on September 5 after a brief delay, the 23-track project builds on the momentum of July’s Swag.

Among the most talked-about details are the album’s features. Nigerian superstar Tems brings her soulful vocals to “I Think You’re Special,” marking her second collaboration with Bieber after “Essence.” Rising British artist Bakar appears on “Don’t Wanna.” In perhaps the most unexpected guest spot, Hurricane Chris lends his energy to “Poppin’ My S**.”
Longtime collaborator Lil B—who also appeared on Swag—returns on “Safe Space.” Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Eddie Benjamin, a close friend and frequent creative partner of Bieber, closes out the features on “Open Up Your Heart.”
Commercial expectations for Swag II are high. Its predecessor, Swag, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, topped charts across Canada and Europe, and produced streaming hits like “Daisies” and “Yukon.” That album leaned heavily into R&B and featured guest appearances from Gunna, Sexyy Red, and Druski.
