After ample teasing, 3x GRAMMY nominee Shawn Mendes rings in his 26th birthday (August 8) with the delivery of two new songs – ‘Why Why Why’ and ‘Isn’t That Enough’ – from his October 18-due fifth studio album ‘Shawn.’

The folksy tunes, both produced by Mike Sabbath, come as introspective musical journeys that see Mendes reflect on his personal and professional growth since topping the Billboard 200 with 2020’s ‘Wonder.’

“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?,” he wails in the music video for ‘Why.’
