"SWAG" is the title track by Justin Bieber featuring Cash Cobain & Eddie Benjamin from Bieber's 7th studio album SWAG.

After the two exchanged numbers, they chatted about music back and forth until, one day, Bieber was in New York and reached out to Cobain to work. ”I pulled up on him. He’s at his crib with a couple of people there. We had like, a laptop, speakers, and instruments in this circle,” Cobain recalls. “We was just vibing and shit. A couple of musicians and a couple of other people was there”. After jamming for about half an hour, they made a sketch of a track before Bieber had to head out to attend a basketball game. Cobain thought nothing of the session, though the two kept in touch, chit-chatting about music and regular life stuff. Then, the same week that Bieber announced the album, he sent Cobain a reference track of the song they’d worked on. “He’s like, we’re going to try to get it on the album, and I’m like, ‘All right, bet,’ so I fixed it up and then the next day or the day after the next day, that shit was out.”[1]
On April 15, 2025, Justin Bieber shared an Instagram video showing a SKYLRK slippers. A preview of an early version of the song can be heard in the video.
