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.’

“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.’
