Shawn Mendes did not hold back with fans in a recent Instagram video.
As previously reported by OK!, Mendes and Camila Cabello announced their split last month after two years together. Mendes has since released his new song โItโll Be Okay.โ
โI just wanted to make a little video and say thank you to everybody who has been connecting with โItโll Be Okay,'โ the 23-year-old began the video.

OOH, LA LA LA! SHAWN MENDES & CAMILA CABELLO STRIP DOWN FOR FUN IN THE SUN โ PHOTOS
โIโm having a little bit of a hard time with social media at the moment, just kind of my relationship with it, but I have lots of people sending me videos and telling me whatโs going on,โ the โTreat You Betterโ singer admitted.
โI think that when I make music the ultimate goal is to kind of be sitting there and have some sort of my own truth revealed to me and a lot of the times when Iโm writing songs, Iโm usually using music as a platform to be able to get to a place inside of myself that I wouldnโt be able to get to by just kind of talking to people or thinking about it,โ he explained.
โI see a lot of TikToks of people crying and getting emotional and stuff, and I hope thatโs because thereโs some truth in the song [โItโll Be Okayโ], and there lies honestly in it,โ he added. โI just feel so proud of that song and Iโm so grateful you guys are connecting with it, and I feel so grateful that people are being vulnerable with it and people are just having fun with it.โ
โI see you guys, and I see how much love youโre giving the song, and giving me, and that means the world to me, so thank you,โ he concluded.

Some fans speculated that the song may be about the split with the โHavanaโ singer. โIf you tell me youโre leaving, Iโll make it easy / Itโll be okay / If we canโt stop the bleeding / We donโt have to fix it, we donโt have to stay / I will love you either way,โ Mendes sang in the new track.
Itโs not clear why the former flames called it quits. An insider previously told E! News that Mendes was the one who โinitiated the conversationโ with the former Fifth Harmony member about breaking up, but the 24-year-old โagreedโ it was for the best. โThe relationship was getting stale and complacent and they decided they are better off being friends,โ the insider explained.
