The album’s lead single, ‘Why Why Why’, along with ‘Isn’t That Enough’, is set to be released on August 9th, offering fans a glimpse into the emotional and introspective themes explored in ‘Shawn’.
With ‘Shawn’, Mendes aims to connect with listeners on a profound level, sharing his personal journey through music and inviting fans to join him on this introspective and heartfelt musical odyssey.
