Shawn Mendes Releases Emotional Song Two Weeks After Camila Cabello Breakup

Shawn Mendes' latest song, 'It'll Be Okay' comes two weeks to the day that Mendes and Cabello announced their breakup.

Shawn Mendes has released the emotional breakup song It’ll Be Okay on Wednesday, exactly two weeks after he and his girlfriend Camila Cabello officially announced that they had parted their ways, after more than two years of dating.

However, in the soft, piano-backed melancholic track, Mendes details the end of a turbulent relationship as he sings, “the future we dreamed of is fading to black.” In the chorus, however, he transitions into a hopeful attitude of healing and acceptance as he repeatedly sings, It’ll be okay. Mendes first announced the song’s release on Tuesday, teasing lyrics that said, “Are we gonna make it? Is this gonna hurt?”

Meanwhile, on the morning of the song’s release day, the Wonder singer shared a photo of a sun illuminating a beach with an orange glow to his social media and wrote, “It feels like I haven’t truly connected with you guys in a while. I miss you I hope you love this song.” It’ll Be Okay comes two weeks to the day that Mendes and Cabello, 24, announced their breakup with a joint statement shared on social media.

The couple shared a joint statement to their respective Instagram Stories on November 17, penning, “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.” “We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward Camila and Shawn,” the statement concluded.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were friends for several years before they fell for each other in July 2019. Mendes said his most recent single, Summer of Love, was inspired by the idyllic first few months of lockdown, in which the couple quarantined together in Miami. “It feels good. It was like writing about the first couple of months actually in the lockdown.”

Shawn Mendes further said, “Camila and I were so lucky because we were able to just kind of be in a still moment, and it was the first time in the past six years that we’ve been just able to relax and not work at all. We were going on bike rides around Miami, and it just felt really beautiful.”
