Shawn Mendes Unveils Self-Titled Album ‘Shawn’: Stream It Now

Shawn Mendes’ new album has finally arrived, as he dropped his newest full-length project Shawn on Friday (Nov. 15).

The self-titled album features the previously released singles “Why Why Why,” “Isn’t That Enough,” “Nobody Knows” and “Heart of Gold.”

Mendes initially shared the album trailer back in July via social media, and the clip features the 26-year-old star playing guitar in a forest, and at a campfire surrounded by friends singing “Isn’t That Enough.” He opened up in the caption, writing, “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.”

He continued his thoughtful message by thanking his fans and loved ones. “Honestly thank god for my friends and family,” he wrote. “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.”

Shawn is the star’s fifth studio album and follows 2020’s Wonder as well as Mendes’ previous self-titled project, 2018’s Shawn Mendes. The album was written and co-produced by Mendes, along with collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau and Eddie Benjamin, with additional songs co-written by Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska.
