Shawn Mendes Returns With New Album ‘Shawn’

Two years after Shawn Mendes paused his career to take a mental health break, the singer will return in October with a new album titled 'Shawn.'

So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift,” Mendes wrote in an Instagram post announcing the LP. Shawn was written and co-produced by Mendes, alongside collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau, and Eddie Benjamin, with additional songs co-written by Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska. Following the release of 2020’s Wonder and his mental-health break, Mendes reemerged from the studio to share a new solo song about the climate crisis, “What the Hell Are We Dying For?” and linked up with Jacob Collier, Stormzy, and Kirk Franklin for the collaboration, “Witness Me.”
