What if?

Justin Bieber may not be able to afford a glitzy music video, in the middle of a settlement agreement with Scooter Braun, requiring Justin to pay 31 million to his former manager.

The album landed second on charts, which is not the result that fans were hoping for, but is not bad. It was in a digital only form.

Swag mostly received streaming from sales, or digitally equivalent album sales. 'Daisies' is the number one song on iTunes, and the album reportedly had the highest number of stream on Spotify ever.

Bieber may release a music video for Swag, curiously not releasing one before his album, or coinciding with it. He has been shy of the camera the last couple years, only appearing out occasionally with his wife. You could say other than instagram he is only seen walking in and out of recording studio or a bar.

Shortstoryselections does not think Justin Bieber is missing, but it finds it disappointing there was no music video. Critics speculate he may not tour for this album.

Capital FM reported:

"So far, Justin Bieber has not confirmed if he'll be doing a tour for Swag. The pop superstar has been prioritising his health over recent years and had previously taken a step back from music and touring.

With his new album out, that might change but for now, Justin hasn't teased any potential tour dates."

Most reviews have considered the album to be good, though superficial in terms of its lyrical and thematic quality

Hopefully Bieber feels better and returns to the stage etc. soon.
