Shawn Mendes Gets Real About His New Song ‘Why Why Why’

Shawn Mendes is back in the spotlight with his new song titled “Why Why Why,” and he’s opening up about some pretty personal stuff. In the track, he sings about some heavy emotions, including a moment when he thought he was going to become a father, which really shook him up.

In the song’s bridge, Mendes shares, “I thought I was about to be a father / Shook me to the core, I’m still a kid.” This lyric gives listeners a glimpse into the challenges he’s been facing, which adds an emotional depth to his music.

Recently, Mendes sat down for an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, where he talked about the creative process behind his new album. He mentioned that he felt a sense of relief by being honest in his songwriting. “It felt pointless to dance around it,” he said, emphasizing how liberating it feels to express his true self.

The music video for “Why Why Why” was also released, showcasing not only the song’s emotional weight but Mendes’s growth as an artist. Fans are loving this new direction, especially since it’s been a while since he last released music.

Alongside “Why Why Why,” Mendes has shared another new song called “Isn’t That Enough.” He aims to connect with his audience and share a sense of reassurance through his lyrics. “Hey, how have you been? I needed to say back, ‘I’m good. Everything’s good. It’s going to be good,’” he expressed.

This new era for Mendes comes after a challenging time in his life, including the cancellation of his “Wonder” world tour due to mental health issues. Despite everything, he seems to have found his way back to music, and fans couldn’t be more excited to hear what he’ll bring next.
