After an hours-long delay, Justin Bieber's "Swag II" album is here -- and to the surprise of fans, it's a lengthy follow-up to "Swag" with 23 songs!

One track in particular that caught fans' eyes is "MOTHER IN YOU", in which the pop star croons about his and Hailey Bieber's 1-year-old son, Jack Blues. He sings that baby Jack has his smile and Hailey's grace, and is the best part of every day.

Similar to Justin's vow to Hailey that he'll never leave in the "Swag" track "WALKING AWAY," he tells Jack ... "And I vow in good faith / To never let you down."

Toto's Bobby Kimball's quality of life after his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis is the subject of a forthcoming film ... documenting his journey years after his diagnosis.

John Zaika -- Bobby's longtime friend and the director of the documentary "Kite on a String: The Bobby Kimball Story" -- tells TMZ ... there were signs something was wrong when he was working with the "Africa" hitmaker more than a decade ago, indications like severe hearing loss and some "off behaviors."

The Toto singer noticed something might be wrong with his memory in 2019, so he confided in his wife, Jasmin. They sought help at UCLA's Memory Clinic and he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia that same year -- BTW, the same form of dementia Bruce Willis was diagnosed with in 2023.
