Shawn Mendes is discovering himself at odds — in his relationship, and concurrently, with the world. With current headlines surrounding Mendes’ private life, in addition to up to date international points, his newest single, “What The Hell Are We Dying For,” feels extra well timed than ever.
On the tune, Shawn questions the state of a relationship and the place it’s going, over a rolling percussion loop and clashing guitars.
“If we don’t love like we used to / And we don’t care like we used to / What the hell are we dying for?,” he sings on the tune’s refrain.
Whereas it’s unclear when the tune was written or recorded, it arrives at a wierd time in Mendes’ life.
Earlier at the moment, it was reported that Mendes and Camila Cabello had broken up again, simply six weeks after they’d reportedly rekindled their romance.
Additionally unusual was the truth that the only’s cowl seems to be a picture of New York Metropolis engulfed in orange smog, after a wildfire in Canada prompted the smoke to unfold over to New York. Mendes himself is Canadian, so it’s doubtless that the wildfire hits near dwelling for him.
