Happy Tuesday! Joining the #TTT or #ThreeTuneTuesday🤘🏻, thanks to 
Justin Bieber released his Swag album last July 11 and I loved it right away. Maybe it’s because the whole vibe is R&B and indie pop, or maybe it’s just because it’s JB. Probably both. I’ve been listening to him since grade school, so hearing that he’s making music again really felt like a throwback.
Then last September 5, he surprised us again with Swag II. I’ve had it on repeat ever since. Honestly, I’m still stuck on the first Swag album so I don’t think I’ve fully processed this second one yet. But hey, I already have my early favorites!
Here are my top 3 picks from Swag II:
🎶 Speed Demon
i'm fast forwarding 'til we find it, uh
And press start, but then we rewind it, uh
In case you ever needed reminding
That it keeps getting better, uh
I've wandered by a million miles
You already know what the time is (okay, yeah)
It's forever, forever ever, I said forever
This one instantly hooked me. The beat is sooo catchy and I can’t stop vibing with it. The lyrics feel like JB telling his haters that no matter how much negativity is out there, he’s still moving forward. Kind of like a reminder to keep going no matter what.
🎶 I Do
I just wanna say
If something's going down, yeah, let's communicate it now (ooh)
You can make it okay (ooh-ooh)
Little love can go the longest way (little love, little love, little love)
Oh, babe, let's call in sick, let's take the day (take the day)
Just make a promise, girl
You'll never change (oh, never change)
Hurry up, get over here, don't make me wait
What I love about both Swag albums is how personal they are. A lot of the songs are inspired by his marriage with Hailey. And while I’m not the biggest fan of their love story, I have to admit JB knows how to put his feelings into words. This one especially makes me want to fall in love all over again. It’s sweet plus the beat just makes it even better 💖
🎶 Bad Honey
I might just go give you my loving, uh
I might give you a piece of my mind, uh
I might just go 'head, gon' do somethin'
Baby girl, you're makin' me, makin' me sing
This song gives Michael Jackson vibes. The way JB sings it, the groove, the rhythm. I might be overthinking, but it really reminded me of MJ and now I can’t un-hear it. What do you think?
