Shawn Mendes revealed on his new single ‘Why Why Why’ that he once thought he was expecting his first baby
“I thought I was about to be a father / Shook me to the core, I'm still a kid,” Mendes, 26, sings in the track’s bridge, which came out on Friday, August 9. “Sometimes I still cry out for my mother / Why, why, why? Why, why, why?”
He continues, “I don't know, I don't know why … Feels like everything goes 'round and ‘round / And 'round, and 'round, and 'round it goes / Feels like everything goes 'round and ‘round.” Mendes has not further addressed the supposed pregnancy scare. The Canadian singer, who has been single since he and on-off girlfriend Camila Cabello split for good in June 2023, wanted the song lyrics to be very honest.
“I realized there was two options for me. It was literally like, ‘I’m going to go down this path of speaking my exact truth or I’m going to dance around it,’” Mendes told Zane Lowe in an Apple Music 1 interview released on Friday. “It felt pointless to dance around it, even if the song was never to see the light of day.”
He added, “I was like, ‘Why are we here dancing around it?’ So yeah, it felt like I crossed a big threshold. I think it feels just really liberating, even just to be in a space where I’ve done that as a writer. Now I feel more free to do that as a human.
