Shawn Mendes, a few weeks after Camila Cabello shared their reflections on their breakup is sharing his perspective about adjusting to a single existence.
They first became romantically linked when they were spotted kissing in 2019. They split in a joint statement that was released in November 2021. Mendes, however, is believed to have initiated the breakup. “Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship, but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever,” they said at the time, per E! News. “We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward.” (Here’s a complete relationship timeline).
Shawn Mendes now admits that it is difficult to move on from a relationship. On March 19, the “Stitches” singer discussed a lyric to a new song while sitting behind his piano. “A lot of the things that also is resonating in the lyric for me is like, ‘oh, fuck,’ you know, you don’t realize when you’re breaking up with someone…you think it’s the right thing to do, you don’t realize all this shit that comes after it,” Mendes said in the video, which he posted to Instagram.
He continued, “Like, who do I call when I’m like, in a panic attack? Who do I call if I’m feeling fucked on the edge? I think that’s the reality that kind of hit me, it’s like, ‘Oh, I’m on my own now.’ Now I feel like finally, I’m actually on my own, and I hate that. That’s my reality, you know?”
