Shawn Mendes also revealed that he ran his new single with his former girlfriend before releasing it because they have worked together as writers for a long time. “Camila and I have always been writers for as long as we’ve known each other, so we understand what that means. And we respect what that means. And there’ll always be transparency between us,” he added.
The singer was also asked how he is doing after the breakup. To this, Shawn admitted he has been leaning on friends and family and has also been meditating to help his anxiety. “I think a lot of it is relying on people around you. I have a lot of amazing friends and family and I just kind of balanced it out between them,” he added.

“Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever ❤️ We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends.
