Shawn Mendes has candidly shared a deeply personal experience in his latest single, “Why Why Why,” where he reflects on a moment of fear and uncertainty about potentially becoming a father. The song, released on his 26th birthday, August 8, is one of the first tracks from his upcoming fifth studio album, *Shawn*.


The song’s lyrics reveal Mendes’ emotional turmoil: “Opened up my journal to a page / Everything that hurts me’s still the same / Feels like there’s nothing new for me to say / Why, why, why? Why, why, why?” In the bridge, he continues, “I thought I was about to be a father / Shook me to the core, I'm still a kid (Ooh) / Sometimes I still cry out for my mother / Why, why, why? Why, why, why?”


In addition to “Why Why Why,” Mendes released another single titled “Isn’t That Enough.” While it's unclear if these songs are based on actual events in Mendes’ life, the artist has hinted at the deeply personal nature of his music. When announcing the album earlier this month, Mendes reflected on his journey: “Music really can be medicine.”


He shared more about his recent struggles, saying, “Two years ago, I had no idea who I was. A year ago, I couldn’t even step into a studio without being overwhelmed with panic. Now, to be here with 12 finished songs feels like a blessing. I’m incredibly thankful for my friends and family. Life can be tough, but having a small group of people you trust makes it a lot easier. I can’t imagine getting through the last few years, let alone creating this album, without them.”


Mendes’ previous album, *Wonder*, came out nearly four years ago. In 2022, he embarked on a world tour to promote the album but had to cancel most of his U.S. dates after just seven shows due to mental health issues. He explained on Instagram that he “wasn’t prepared for the toll” of touring again and needed time to focus on his personal well-being.


Recently, Mendes and his ex-girlfriend, Camila Cabello, sparked rumors of getting back together after they were spotted together at the final game of the Copa América soccer tournament. The pair, who began dating in 2019 after years of friendship and speculation, broke up in 2021. However, they were seen reconnecting at Coachella in April 2023, where they were spotted kissing and dancing. Though Cabello was reported as single in May 2023, their recent sightings have fueled speculation about their relationship.


Shawn’s new album is scheduled for release on October 18.

  Maren Morris revealed that she and her 4-year-old son, Hayes, were subjected to death threats after she criticized fellow country singer Morgan Wallen for using a racial slur in 2021. In a recent episode of Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast, Morris, 34, opened up about the frightening experience, saying, “As a young mother, the death threats were obviously very scary.” She added, “It wasn’t just threats against me; they were targeting my son, too. It’s shocking when they bring children into it—kids they supposedly care so much about.” Morris, who publicly came out as bisexual in June, shares her son with ex-husband Ryan Hurd. The couple finalized their divorce in January. The controversy began in February 2021 when Wallen was caught on video using the N-word during a night out in Nashville. The "Whiskey Glasses" singer, 31, was heard saying, "Take care of this pussy ass n—-r" as he returned home with friends. Wallen later expressed regret, saying, “There ...

Megadeth Drummer Criticizes Fashion Brand for “Stealing” Heavy Metal Imagery

  Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren has publicly criticized a fashion brand for allegedly "stealing" artwork from Soilwork's 2005 album Stabbing the Drama . The high-end hoodie in question, manufactured by Vetements and priced at a staggering $1600, features artwork that closely resembles the Stabbing the Drama cover art, which Verbeuren played drums on. In a post on Instagram, Verbeuren, who left Soilwork to join Megadeth in 2016, expressed his frustration and sought opinions from fellow metalheads. "I'd love to hear your opinion about this Vetements garment including Soilwork's Stabbing the Drama  cover art, created by Mircea Gabriel Eftemie, as well as a bunch of other (sometimes slightly modified) band logos and art," Verbeuren wrote. He questioned whether this was "designer fashion or total rip-off," adding that, to his knowledge, none of the artwork was licensed. "Super Bad?!" he concluded. In addition to Soilwork's album cov...
