Shawn Mendes is Back with ‘Why Why Why’

Shawn Mendes is Back with ‘Why Why Why’

His new album is called SHAWN, and before it gets released on October 18, 2024, Mr. Mendes has released his first song from it.

The song is called ‘WHY WHY WHY.” Shawn addresses his canceled tour and break from the spotlight by singing, “I stepped off the stage with nothin’ left / All the lights were f–king with my head / But here I am, singing songs again / Why? Why? Why? Ease my mind.”

According to JustJared, in an interview with Apple Music, Shawn explained the meaning behind the song.

“I think ‘Why Why Why,’ like I said, I felt no pressure to address anything, but it was just one of those experiences where there kind of became this joke while we were making the album that was like, if I started to experience some pretty heavy anxiety in the studio, everyone was sure that a great song was going to be coming after it because there was some sort of healing crisis, some sort of breakthrough that was supposed to happen,” Shawn said.

He added, “There was something anthemic about those words, ‘why, why, why.’ It almost felt like a cry. It felt like… I don’t know. It just felt powerful and beautiful.”

Hang in there.. they are watching over us! Had mine a seat saved at our ceremony.” Swindell included a picture of an empty chair draped in a cloth that reads, “In loving memory of William Keith Swindell.” They also had announced via a joint Instagram post shared Thursday. “The Swindells 6.12.24 🤍.”
