This hidden detail in Justin Bieber's new album, Swag, says a lot about his marriage to Hailey

He's absolutely standing on business

After a never-ending flood of divorce rumours, Justin Bieber has set the record straight on the state of his marriage with his new album, Swag. 

After watching the world scream out for his wife to leave him, Justin Bieber is getting candid about the reality of marriage on the surprise release energising every ‘09 belieberSwag

The 21-track album dropped on Friday, and you don’t need multiple replays and a deep lyric analysis to figure out that the 31-year-old isn’t letting the never-ending relationship scrutiny sway his fight for his marriage.

Bieber’s no stranger to the public criticising his relationships. Since his teen relationship with Selena Gomez, the man has never known peace in a partnership. 

Every comment section is filled with questions, theories and opinions on his marriage, paparazzi are shouting the same lines at him, no matter his state, and every exchange between him and his wife, Rhode Skin founder, Hailey, is analysed and picked apart. 

Rumours have been loudly swirling online for months, with articles predicting an ever-impending divorce, despite no suggestion from either party. 

Swag songs about the Biebers’ marriage issues

You said “Forever,” babe, did you mean it, or not?

Hold on, hold on

You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message

Instead of a line, it’s three dots, but I can connect them

And if it ain’t right, babe, you know I respect it

But if you need time, just take your time

Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it

Despite encouraging every other couple in the world to try to work through their issues, and pushing some (who probably shouldn’t) to try to find a way through their teething problems, the world really expects celebrities to announce their split after their first disagreement. 

We share the wedding photos and pregnancy announcements on our stories, but get a little too impassioned about the prospect of a divorce announcement soon after. 

Providing refreshingly open insight into stars’ marriages under the microscope of fame, Bieber then sings about the pair’s ‘growing pains’ and effort to put time into working through their issues in Walking Away, singing:

And, girl, we better stop before we say some sh*t

We've been testin' our patience

I think we better off if we just take a break

And remember what grace is

Before changing his tune and letting us all know how committed he is with:

Baby, l ain't walkin' away

You were my diamond, gave you a ring

I made you a promise, l told you l'd change 

It's just human nature, these growin' pains

Recovering from that Vogue cover debacle

We all remember the trashfire that was Bieber publicising the bizarre insults he delivered to Hailey. 

In a since-deleted caption under Hailey’s Vogue cover announcement, the singer wrote, “Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue. Yikes I know, so mean.”

“For some reason because I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even. I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even. we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection. So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken."

Pitchfork-holding users quickly swarmed comment sections, calling him an unsupportive husband. 

He’s let us all know just how supportive he is, with the new song Go Baby, singing:

"That's my baby, she's iconic, iPhone case, lip gloss on it / And, oh my days, she keeps 'em talkin', it's comedy, just block it, oh, my baby."

The rest of the song is basically just Bieber telling his wife he’ll always be there to comfort her when things get rough.

According to People, the Biebers are really proving their concerned fans and trolls wrong, celebrating the album over the weekend. 

A source told the publication, "Hailey was by Justin's side for the whole creation of the album”, and “supported Justin to follow his artistic instincts". 

"She helped him to trust himself and do what Justin knew he wanted to do as an artist" while he worked on the first solo album he’s put out since becoming a dad. 

Surely fans can’t ask for any more to be said about the Biebers’ marriage after being gifted multiple raw and deeply personal songs on the state of their relationship, not to mention some hot family photos to promote the album.
