“Shawn” is the fifth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, released on November 15, 2024, through Island Records.
Influenced by his mental health break following the cancellation of the Wonder: The World Tour in 2022, Mendes conceived Shawn as the most personal album of his career. He wrote and co-produced it along with a group of collaborators including Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau, Eddie Benjamin, and Ethan Gruska. Shawn is primarily a folk rock and folk-pop record, marking a departure from Mendes’ previous pop sound.
It addresses themes of self-reflection and exploration. The lead single from the album “Why Why Why” was released alongside “Isn’t That Enough” on August 8, 2024. Mendes debuted the third single, “Nobody Knows“, in the first televised performance from the album at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
It was followed by “Heart of Gold” on November 1. Shawn was further promoted by an intimate concert tour in the United States and a concert film titled Shawn Mendes: For Friends and Family Only, which premiered the day before the album’s release.
However, this new body of work houses 12 solid tracks.
