Thank you for bearing your soul to us tonight. This album and this next era is truly so special. The world isn’t ready, but the few of us here tonight are ready for the world to hear the magic we just experienced. Friends and family for a decade now until forever. Love ya kid 🤍

[cat @whoiammendes]

instead of playing us the album through speakers, him and the WHOLE band played the album FULLY THROUGH live for us. a CONCERT just for us, and he talked us through all of the process on each song. STOCK UP ON TISSUES. We all sobbed.

[Sarah @sarahswonderr]

For My Friends & Family

we’re back

[Shawn Mendes @ShawnMendes]

Wanted the first shows back to be special & to play this album for you live in the places we recorded it. I’ve never played an album top to bottom before but it’s already one of my favourite shows i’ve ever rehearsed. I love you guys, the band and I can’t wait to see you https://t.co/3vz4lUey0q

“Shawn” The Album out 10.18. You can pre-order now https://t.co/nP8dRXD2Rx

[Shawn Mendes @ShawnMendes]

First two songs, Why Why Why & Isn’t That Enough out on my birthday 8.8 @ 8pm ET

[Shawn Mendes @ShawnMendes]

Music really can be medicine.
2 years ago I felt like I had absolutely no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn’t step into a studio without falling into complete panic. So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift.

Honestly thank god for my friends and family. Life can be brutal but having a small group of people you deeply trust to walk you through makes it so much better. I have no idea how I would have made it through the last couple years let alone make an album without you.

Scott, Mike, Eddie, Alex, Andrew, Ziggy, Sylvie, Rachel, Brian, Prash, Sarah, Meghan, Connor, tony, Aaliyah, mum, dad, Jocelyne, H.O.M, Matty

All of my Friends and Family, thank you for loving on me so hard ♥️

And to you guys who have been so unbelievably supportive and patient and loving thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really hope you love this album, I do.
I really really do.

I hope it makes you feel warm and close to the earth like it does for me.

“Shawn”, The Album 10.18
Why Why Why & Isn’t That Enough 8.8 @ 8pm ET

enjoy.

Nashville, Dark Horse Studio

the first thing that comes to me while watching this back is “wow, by the time we got to Nashville i was so much more confident and just in my body and myself about everything”

it felt like the adults arrived and things started to get romantic and deep.

and honestly i hope Brian says that exact speech at my wedding someday.

anyway i’m sure you know of him but that beautiful angel playing the mandolin’s name is @christhile

first of all. Truly one of the greatest musicians i’ve ever been in the presence of but possibly more important than that, the kindest man i’ve ever crossed paths with. His song “Julep” kinda became our anthem and guiding light. So to have him be a part of this album was just beyond special

[Shawn Mendes @ShawnMendes]

I stepped off the stage with nothing left 
All the lights were fucking with my head 
But here I am, singing songs again 
Why why why, ease my mind

Track 2, Why Why Why 🤍
