Justin Bieber's ‘All I Can Take' Lyrics Reveal How He Copes With His ‘Sensitivity'
Justin Bieber is getting vulnerable on Swag. On the album's opening track, 'All I Can Take,' Bieber sings about how he navigates difficult times and feeling misunderstood.
'These symptoms of my sensitivity (Uh-uh) / Feels worser knowin' no one's listening (No one's listening) / This is it, I can't change, Lord knows I try / Ooh, baby, we can leave it all behind,' he sings.
In the second verse, he revealed that he escapes that feeling through sex and his relationship. 'Don't walk away / Good times'll keep you moanin' / Baby, let's enjoy the moment / So we goin' 'til 4 in the morning.'
Fans also noted that the song sounds very Michael Jackson-coded:
Justin has been married to Hailey Bieber for over six years, and they welcomed their first child together, Jack Blues Bieber, in 2024. And though they are reportedly going through a challenging time in their marriage at the moment, Justin has always spoken candidly about how grateful he is to have Hailey in his life. 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life,' he recently told Vogue, 'but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey.'
Back in 2021, he elaborated on the positive effect that she's had on him. 'One thing that has been so helpful is my wife is so by the book,' he told Billboard. 'She's so structured and routine and so responsible.' One of Justin's closest friends, Ryan Good, has also said that Hailey is a 'strong, consistent, stabilizing force in his life.'

Nicki Minaj Blasts SZA, Punch And TDE In Latest X Rant
Nicki Minaj has long been touted as the queen of rap, but lately it seems like she's been vying for the honorific title of queen when it comes to beefing on social media. In a recent chain of wars on Twitter/X, the Pink Friday emcee has been setting her sights on airing out grievances on everyone from Jay-Z and Desiree Perez of Roc Nation to veiled jabs at her femcee nemeses Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. However, in a surprising twist of the Twitter fingers earlier today (July 15), Nicki hauled a full attack at Punch from TDE, which then led to an unexpected beef with fellow Billboard diva, SZA. And no, the Nickster didn't hold back one bit! RELATED: Barbz vs. Billionaire: Nicki Minaj Claims Jay-Z Owes Her $200 Million – 'Call Me To Settle This Karmic Debt' Let's walk you back to where we think this first began. Earlier this afternoon, Punch hopped on X to promote the latest single by a female emcee he's managing that goes by IAmLyric. Ironically enough, the song is titled 'Broken Barbies.' Within hours, most likely due to the Barbz bringing it to their queen's attention, Nicki took it as an offense to her fanbase and reposted a picture of Punch with a taunting caption that reads, 'Me after I suck some good zik. Guarantee you wouldn't fight a man. We have every tweet of your incessant bullying, lying, & more. Your name was added to that shit list shitty drawers. Same thing that make you laugh make you…shit.' …and then added one more just to make things extra petty. Nicki Minaj vs SZA didn't go down until roughly an hour later, and only lasted briefly — definitely not like the infamous 2011 back-and-forth between Rihanna and Ciara. While SZA tried to avert any further jabs on her side ( 'Lmao lemme go back to being calm shy and meek . Yall have blessed night ! See you tomorrow for night 2 Paris !! ❤️🫶🏾' ), Nicki chose the option of even more violence less than an hour ago ( 'Shutup ugly #JusticeForDemoree I'm in a meeting so idk if u was still talking shit or not so if you didn't I'll delete later. Hoe '). Her next tweet brought Punch back into the mix, accusing the artist and management duo of spiking streaming numbers by writing, 'Btch damn near broke that man back & leg. Bitch fat chubby & Skinny @ the same damn time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😩🤣 bitch where are those 30 million streams that disappeared on Spotify like your feaux freckles. #JusticeForDemoree #DrNow Botting tweets when you arguing is just as weird as sza.' This came in response to SZA's attempt at diverting the focus on her timeline to more positive news that her GRAMMY-winning album, SOS , may be eligible for Diamond status soon. It appears things are silent for now, with Nicki adding one final, long-winded fatality to the mix by writing, 'This what they be wanting when they release music. 😩. Speak ON me or ABOUT me at your own risk. When I'm discussing the abuse I've suffered at the hands of ANY man, if you as a woman choose to get in the field, you're going to leave bloody. (Figuratively speaking of course) #JusticeForDemoree #Bumblina I'll expose more of your lies & I tell yall all the time I play the long game. So while yall celebrated insignificant 'wins' & fake laughed for hours, God was already working. Sit this out. Trust. Ego won't win this one. Truth is truth. It doesn't change. The lies & deceit & abuse of power ain't gon cut it no mo no mo no mo no moooooooo 🤥😃.' …breathe, Nicki — breathe! While some could make an argument for the 'Broken Barbies' offense, many are digging deeper and seeing this as another piece to Nicki's unwavering hate for Cardi B. Last month, SZA teased an upcoming collaboration with the 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker that is expected to appear on her highly-anticipated sophomore album, Am I The Drama? SEE ALSO

Justin Bieber to Release Surprise Album ‘Swag' With Artwork Featuring Wife Hailey and Son Jack
Justin Bieber is back. The singer will release a surprise album titled Swag on Friday, July 11, a music insider tells Us Weekly. The insider confirms that photos posted to Justin's Instagram Story on Thursday, July 10, featuring his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their son, Jack, are part of the artwork for his seventh studio record. In the images, the heavily tattooed Grammy winner, 31, poses both shirtless and in a white tank top with baggy jeans while lounging outdoors on a couch alongside Hailey, 28, and their 10-month-old. Justin Bieber Through the Years: From Teen Heartthrob to Married Man Billboards recently erected in Iceland, where Justin recorded music earlier this year, and Los Angeles include one of the black-and-white shots alongside the title, Swag. Meanwhile, a digital billboard seen in New York City's Times Square revealed the Def Jam project has 20 tracks such as "All I Can Take," "Go Baby," "Butterflies," "Dadz Love" and "Forgiveness." Rappers Gunna, Sexyy Red and Cash Cobain are featured as collaborators, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news. Us Weekly has reached out to Justin's rep for comment. The Best Albums of 2024: Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and More This will be the pop star's first album since 2021's Justice, which included the hit singles "Holy," "Lonely," "Anyone," "Hold On," "Peaches" and "Ghost." The news comes in the midst of a turbulent time for Justin, who has worried fans in recent months with his bizarre behavior and drug use. He also endured a shakeup within his inner circle, parting ways with longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2023 and more recently falling out with his childhood friend and former business partner Ryan Good. "He is going through a lot of changes," a source close to the Biebers exclusively told Us last month. "Navigating fatherhood, trying to put out music [and] past traumas surfacing has been a lot for him." Justin's former collaborators and team members have also publicly voiced their concerns. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber: A Timeline of Their Relationship "Whatever he's going through, I pray for him and hope he's OK," Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd — who cowrote some of the entertainer's biggest hits, including 2015's "Where Are Ü Now" and "What Do You Mean?" — told The Hollywood Reporter in April. An unnamed ex-employee added, "Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose. He's lost. There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out." However, Justin's rep insisted to Us at the time that the star was "committed to following the right path" despite the speculation surrounding him. Justin and Hailey married in 2018 and welcomed Jack last summer.

Justin Bieber Releases Surprise 7th Album ‘Swag'
Justin Bieber has finally dropped his long-awaited seventh album titled Swag. The Grammy winner, 31, released the new project on Friday, July 11. "This is more of a personal project that Justin has been wanting to put out, almost like a mixtape," a source tells Us Weekly. "His label is planning a more traditional pop album for early next year." Just one day earlier, a music insider confirmed Justin's surprise album to Us, revealing that photos posted on his Instagram Story featuring his wife of nearly seven years, Hailey Bieber, and their 10-month-old son, Jack, were part of the record's artwork. The images showed Justin posing shirtless and in a white tank top with baggy jeans while spending time outside with his family. Justin Bieber Through the Years: From Teen Heartthrob to Married Man Justin also teased the album with billboards around the world in Iceland, where he hit the studio to record music earlier this year, Los Angeles and New York City, which displayed the title Swag alongside black-and-white photos and unveiled the project's 21-song tracklist, including 'Go Baby,' 'Dadz Love' and 'Forgiveness.' This marks Justin's first studio album since Justice, which was released in March 2021 and spawned hits such as 'Peaches,' 'Holy,' 'Ghost' and 'Anyone.' In recent months, Justin has sparked concern with his behavior on social media. He ultimately addressed the speculation about his well-being in a string of June Instagram posts. 'Quit asking me if I'm OK. Quit asking me how I'm doing. I don't do that to you. Because I know how life is for all of us. It's hard,' he told fans via his Story. 'Let's encourage our people not [to] project our insecurities onto one another. Your concern doesn't come off as care, it's just oppressive, weirdo.' Justin Bieber's Ups and Downs Through the Years: Relationship Drama, Health Issues and More Justin later admitted that he knows he's 'broken,' emphasizing, 'Don't you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already?' A source told Us in June that Justin 'has felt lost recently' since 'he is going through a lot of changes' in both his professional and personal life, including moving on with his music career after parting ways with his longtime manager, Scooter Braun, in 2023. 'Navigating fatherhood, trying to put out music [and] past traumas surfacing has been a lot for him,' the insider said. Despite the persistent concerns about Justin, his rep told Us in April, 'As Justin forges his own way forward, these unnecessary stories and inaccurate assumptions will continue. But, they won't deter him from staying committed to following the right path.'
