“It’ll be okay” is what Shawn Mendes wrote and sang after his breakup with Camila Cabello.
Shawn used Instagram to make a statement before the song's release, posting a photo of the sun
setting with the caption: "It feels like I haven't truly connected with you guys in a
while. I miss you. I hope you love this song." The song itself appears to be about a breakup
and a couple's understanding that their love is ending. The release of the song
comes just a few weeks after it was revealed that his romance with Camila Cabello had ended.
"Are we gonna make it? Is this gonna hurt?" Shawn sings in the opening verse of the song.
"We can try to sedate it, but that never works." Shawn sings about a future the couple dreamed of
"fading to black" in another lyric, which appears to be a reference to the future
plans he and Camila had made, which the couple had been vocal about in interviews.
The song's chorus appears to reflect Shawn and Camila's joint statement announcing the end of
their relationship, in which they stated that their love for each other was "stronger than
ever" and that they would remain friends. The statement read: “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 uploaded the song on her Instagram story
to show her support for Shawn and to show that their friendship is still going strong.
It all seemed confusing for a lot of fans! It was so unexpected but they both seemed okay
and understanding about it! There must be an untold truth behind the relationship, right!
Shawn Mendes claimed he and Camila Cabello have an "honest and open relationship,"
and that they worked through their differences by "calling each other out."
"We definitely fight, and we get in like the worst little arguments. But, like,
I think that we definitely are pretty good at picking up on when it's just ego talking."
"And we like, usually like call each other out. We have a really honest and open relationship - but,
yeah, no, we definitely fight, a Mendes said during an appearance on the broadcasting company.”
The "Treat you better" singer also believes that dating Cabello for more than two years
has helped them work through their differences. ❤❤❤ ❤
He said: "I think the longer the relationship goes, it's like the easier it seems
to be to fight. So, yeah, it's definitely not holding hands all the time,
but we're really good with each other. It never gets bad. It's always like a little fight."
When the couple disagrees, Mendes finds it difficult to admit that he is incorrect.
He said: "It takes all my might in the entire world, but I have to admit that I'm wrong.
But it takes everything. My face probably looks tight and red, but I say I'm wrong.
Hopefully. I mean, maybe she would say something else. I'm sure. Sometimes I don't say I'm wrong."
A source told InTouch Weekly that the couple took a break for a while after being quarantined
together in Miami during the Coronavirus pandemic. "Camila was supposed to accompany him back to
Los Angeles in the [original plan]. They decided, however, that they needed a break from each other
"At the time, a source told the outlet. "Despite their busy schedules, they've spent a lot of time
together in the last year. They were in love and were best friends — they still are... For them,
the past year has been a whirlwind, and they have been extremely supportive of one another.
Nothing went wrong between them; they simply realized they needed some space."
Camila was crying on a lunch date with Shawn in September 2021,
according to Page Six, shortly after InTouch's reports were released. The reason she cried is
unknown at this time, but it's possible it had something to do with their romance's demise.
According to Camila, the public's opinions and media coverage surrounding their relationship
have taken a toll on the former couple. Some fans have been raising a theory
about the dark side of Shawn, looking back at when he discussed how he manages his flaws.
"I raised my voice at her and she was like, 'I don't like it when you raise your voice.
Why did you raise your voice?' And I got so defensive," he admitted. "I was like,
'I wasn't raising my voice at you!' And I did raise my voice at her,” he said.
“And I felt her shrink and I felt me grow and I was like,
'Oh god, this is the worst.' I'm so terrified of being evil. I'm so scared to be bad,” he added.
“But I can't avoid the fact that there's a little bit of darkness inside of me.” “You
think you're being vulnerable but really you're just defending yourself even better," he added.
In the trailer for his Netflix documentary Wonder, Mendes reveals that all his songs
are about Cabello. “My song comes on the radio or something, and I’m like,
‘Everything’s about you. They’re all, they have always been about you,’” he says. “She goes,
‘What do you mean?’ Like, ‘They’re all about you. Like every song I’ve ever written.’”
In Wonder, the couple revealed a bunch of details about their relationship. Here are the Highlights:
Mendes doesn’t think he’ll be able to do their relationship “justice” in a song.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to write songs that really do it justice,
that can really capture the things and the feelings with her,” Mendes said,
per Elle. “I think it’s like when you see a moon or stars and you try to
take a photo of it with your iPhone, and then you just can’t,
it just doesn’t look good. And you’re like, ‘It’s not supposed to be captured.’
Do you know? It’s just supposed to be for us.” They shared a sweet moment before that steamy
VMAs performance. During rehearsal, the documentary shows them kissing. “I love you,”
Cabello tells Mendes. “Do you know that?” The pair was also shown singing John Mayer’s “Slow
Dancing in a Burning Room” in the bathroom before their iconic “Señorita” performance.
Prior to getting together, Mendes truly valued their friendship. “For the past, like, four years,
just being friends and not being able to see each other very often to finally being able
to be together, she was always there to look out for me as a human being,” he said during
the documentary. “She’s got my back, and I think that’s what your partner is for.”
In a new interview with GQ, Mendes said Cabello’s attitude on body positivity
has “changed his life.” Before, he said, he would “have three hours of
sleep” because he woke up early to work out and struggled with being a “pinnacle of fitness.”
He told the magazine he believed that “if you don’t work out, you’re going to lose fans.”
As for Camila, she wrote a heartfelt caption about her relationship with Shawn on Instagram
in November 2020. "I've learned a lot about love with this guy," the "Don't Go Yet" singer wrote.
"It's not just the happy blissful moments you see in pictures and videos. When you're in a
relationship with someone, it feels like they are this mirror reflecting yourself back to you."
"I constantly have to confront my fears, my anxieties, my insecurities,
my patterns of thinking, my beliefs about life and about myself," she continued. "It's not as simple
as it looks in pictures sometimes. Sometimes, it's messy and uncomfortable and ugly lol.
But there's nothing like the pull, the FORCE that is love, to be the light in
the darkness—to be the gravitational pull that gives you the relentless strength to be braver,
wiser, and better than you were yesterday." Shawn "initiated the conversation"
with Camila about the status of their relationship last week, according to a source who spoke to E!
News after the former couple posted their joint statements on Instagram. Camila was
"very upset over the split," according to the source, but it "wasn't a bad breakup at all."
"They decided it was better to be friends because the relationship was getting stale
and complacent," a source told the outlet. Their decision to split was mutual,
according to a different source who spoke to Entertainment Tonight.
"They realized they were in completely different places in their lives at this point,"
a source told ET. "They're both upset about the breakup, but they're doing
their best to look after themselves, stay busy, and be surrounded by loved ones.”
She has also opened up about how her anxiety had a negative effect on her relationship with Shawn
Mendes. “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,” she said.
Camila Cabello continued, “And so I was just left with my anxiety and my mind.
And it was getting in the way of my relationship. It was getting in the way of my friendships,
my time at home.” As per one report, it was Shawn Mendes who initiated the conversation
to end his relationship with the singer.
