At the heart of the album are deeply personal tributes to his wife, Hailey Bieber. Several songs stand out, each conveying affection and reflection on their relationship:
“I THINK YOU’RE SPECIAL”, featuring Tems, is a softly declarative moment, with lyrics such as, “I think you're special... Ain’t no other love like this.” The tone is warm and reaffirming.
“MOTHER IN YOU” appears to encompass both nods to Hailey’s entry into motherhood and fatherhood, with heartfelt lines like: “I guess I’m late, but I got a reason... Oh, child, every day you’re the best part.” The lyric carries emotional weight and intimate appreciation.
“I DO” is a clear expression of enduring love, with lyrics such as: “Never loved you more than I do right now... I need you in the morning... I need you in the afternoon, and in the night.” The sentiment is romantic and raw.
Additionally, SWAG II continues themes from SWAG—which also included affectionate nods to Hailey in songs like “Go Baby”, with its lines: “That’s my baby, she’s iconic... iPhone case, lip gloss on it.”
This earlier album set a foundation of public admiration for his wife.
