Earlier this month, Mendes announced his upcoming fifth album, Shawn (concluded on October 18) revealing the album cover on social media alongside a video announcement and a candid note about the making of the project.
“Music really can be medicine,” he said. “2 years ago I felt like I had no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn’t walk into the studio without completely panicking. So to be here now with 12 beautiful finished songs is such a gift.”
He added: “Honestly, I thank God for my friends and family. Life can be brutal, but having a small group of people you deeply trust to see you through it makes it so much better. I have no idea how I would have gotten through the last few years, let alone make an album without you.”
