Breakups are always hard, and music can help to ease the pain. Unsurprisingly, Shawn Mendes‘ latest single addressed his breakup from Camilla Cabello on November 17.
A source close to the 23-year-old singer told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that Shawn had written “” as he and Camila were having problems with their relationship, and he played it for her before it dropped on December 1.
Even though times were tough, Shawn played the heart-wrenching ballad for the “Havana” singer, and Camila thought the track was also moving. Camila was able to hear the song before it was released and she told him that it was beautiful,” the source said.
Naturally, the “In My Blood” singer turned to music when his relationship with the 24-year-old popstar started going south. When the couple broke up, they noted that they would “continue to be best friends” in their joint statement, released at the time.
Shortly after the split, Camila shared her feelings on the Time to Walk app on Apple Fitness+ on November 22. “I felt so anxious, cripplingly anxious. I just felt really unstable, and I just felt a mess because suddenly, this thing that was distracting me, my work and filming, was not there,” the singer said.
It was very sweet of her to react on the song and share her thoughts on it. Even if they have broken up their support of each other still shows. As they’ve mentioned in the past, they will continue to be best friends and we hope that the public commitment holds up.
