Shawn Mendes explains how his split from Camila Cabello played a part in creating his new record “When You’re Gone.”
"I think, in a lot of ways, it was just me kind of processing what it feels like to be on my own again, and processing what it feels like to learn how to cope and be there for myself," Mendes explained. "The original song was really a sad ballad and it ended up turning into an upbeat tempo kind of song, so it's interesting... I think if you can surround a song in a sonic soundscape that makes people excited, it allows people to listen more.
While Mendes isn't necessarily feeling how he did when he wrote the song, he likes that this track, and others he pens, are"kind of a stamp in time." "I have a lot of great people around me. I think that's the beautiful part," he said."I realized that's why you have such a great group of friends, and family, and all these people. They are there to support you and just kind of be a part of that journey with you."
"Tour is this one half of the picture with my career and what I’m so in love with -- it's touring and it's making music. When I’m left with just one, there’s always this feeling of just emptiness," Mendes said."When I got back on stage, I really felt like this hole was filled again. This was like, 'Oh, I forgot this was truly what I live for. This is something that makes me feel electric. This really is so special to me.
