Justin Bieber released the single “DAISIES” alongside his surprise seventh studio album, SWAG, on July 11, 2025.
The track emerges after a four-year hiatus since his Grammy-winning album Justice, marking a significant artistic shift for the global pop figure. SWAG arrives amidst major personal changes, including the birth of his son Jack Blues and his separation from long-time manager Scooter Braun.
The album rollout began with cryptic black-and-white billboards featuring intimate family photos shot by Kendrick Lamar’s photographer, culminating in the unexpected release. SWAG diverges sharply from Bieber’s previous pop anthems, embracing organic textures and reverb-heavy production shaped by collaborators Dijon and Mk.gee. Their influence steers the 21-track project toward alt-pop and experimental R&B, contrasting his earlier chart-focused work.
“DAISIES” exemplifies this new direction. Produced by Eddie Benjamin, Carter Lang, Dijon, Daniel Chetrit, Sir Dylan, and Mk.gee, the song features understated instrumentation and Bieber’s most nuanced vocal delivery to date. Lyrically, it navigates the complexities of marriage and lasting commitment, a recurring theme across the album. Tracks like “BUTTERFLIES” incorporate candid audio clips, transforming personal vulnerability into artistic statements.
SWAG broadens Bieber’s sonic palette with alt-rap collaborations (Gunna, Sexyy Red, Lil B) and skits featuring comedian Druski as his therapist. This eclectic approach underscores his willingness to challenge pop conventions, building on his trajectory from teen idol to multifaceted artist. “DAISIES” is available through JRC Entertainment/Def Jam Recordings. Stream SWAG and “DAISIES” on all platforms.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Throwin’ petals like, “Do you love me or not?”
Head is spinnin’, and it don’t know when to stop
‘Cause 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’ll respect it
But if you need time, just take your time
Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it
[Chorus]
Way you got me all in my head
Think I’d rather you in my bed
Whatever it is, you know I can take it
I’m countin’ the days, how many days ’til I can see you again?
[Verse 2]
Blowin’ kisses like, “Will you catch ’em or not?”
I’m Cupid with arrows, babe, I’m just shootin’ my shot, mm-mm
If I could get in, drop me a pin, hop in the— and come over
Don’t wanna be friends, just skin-to-skin, I wanna get closer and closer and closer, uh
[Chorus]
The way you got me all in my head
Think I’d rather you in my bed
Whatever it is, you know I can take it
I’m countin’ the days, how many days ’til I can see you again?
[Bridge]
You got me all, all, my love (All in my feelings, babe)
And you got me all, I’ve been all in my feelings
And you got me all, all weak in my knees every time (You got me all in my head, you got me all in my head, you got—)
‘Cause you got me all, all in my feelings (You got me all in my head, you got me all in my head, you got—)
Every time
[Chorus]
The way you got me all in my head (You got me all in my head)
Think I’d rather you in my bed
Whatever it is, you know I can take it
I’m countin’ the days, how many days ’til I can see you again?
