Is Shawn Mendes’ New Song About Camila Cabello?

Shawn and Camila broke up last year November, but, although they said they would remain friends, Shawn went on to release a single on December “It’s Okay.” It seems the “Stitches” singer Shawn Mendes’ latest single which he released on Thursday is in connection with the breakup with Camila.

The song started with a guitar sound on a slow tempo followed by Shawn’s Signature Vocals. The first verse says “You never know how good you have it, oh/Until you’re starin’ at a picture of the only girl that matters, aah.”

The song picked up at the chorus part which was about him wanting to hold on. “Hold on/I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone/I don’t wanna move on/I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone for good,” he sings in the chorus, seemingly referencing his recent split. “You’re slipping through my fingertips/A little bit, by a little bit/I didn’t know that loving you was the happiest I’ve ever been/So I’m just tryna hold on.”

Explaining his relationship post-breakup, he revealed “You’ve got to give yourself a lot of grace to kind of be a little bit of a mess, and that’s okay, and then, you have to look around at the people who are there and not the people who aren’t.”

And we like, usually like call each other out. We have a really honest and open relationship—but, yeah, no, we definitely fight.”
