Fans think Shawn Mendes has confessed love for Camila Cabello in new song 'Why'

Shawn Mendes has officially dropped his album, Shawn Mendes: The Album.

So naturally, members of the Mendes Army have been analysing the shit out of all the songs. Especially after Shawn himself said it is his most honest collection of songs YET.

One song that fans have been buzzing over is “Why”, as they believe it’s Shawn admitting his undying love for best friend/ex? Camila Cabello.

He starts, “I know a girl, she’s like a curse / We want each other, no one will break first / When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off / I don’t know why we act like it means nothing at all / I wish that I could tell you that you’re all that I want, yeah.”

He then sings, “Why do we put each other through hell? Why can’t we just get over ourselves?”

Maybe a hint at how he and Camila have been denying relationship rumours since like, forever?

Another interesting lyric from “Why” is, “When I hear you sing, it gets hard to breathe / Can’t help but think every song’s about me / And every line, every word that I write / You are the muse in the back of my mind, oh.”

OK THEN.
