ShawnMendes gets candid about struggling to find himself musically over the last year and a half
Shawn Mendes is opening up about how uncertainty in his life fuelled the release of his new song,“I think I am approaching 25 still feeling quite confused about a lot of things in my life.
He noted that he was in upstate New York when he wrote the song, “and just on the back end of feeling a lot of things about relationships, about my career, about environment. “And I was in the studio and this moment of just deep frustration came over me and I finally started to feel this inspiration come… it felt like it was the first time I felt that in a year and a half… and the words came out of me just like, ‘what am I dying for?'” he recalled.
At the time, New York’s skyline was covered in orange haze due to the wildfires and was captured in a photograph to use for the cover art of the song, which also mentions the fires in its lyrics.“I had this feeling of urgency, this feeling of honestly excitement, this feeling of connection, this feeling of this is me right now, this is how I feel right now,” he told Lowe, noting that he was in the studio for 25 hours straight to write, produce and mix the song before releasing it shortly after.
“I’m just going to keep going, keep making some songs because I really think that there’s something in here.”
