Shawn Mendes debuts 'When You're Gone' music video
Listen to Shawn's new heartbreak anthem.
Shawn Mendes has released the music video for his new single, 'When You're Gone'. The single is his first release for 2022.
The song has been described as a heartbreak anthem. Shawn and his girlfriend of two years, Camila Cabello, called it quits in November last year.
The 23-year-old sings in 'When You're Gone':
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone
I don't wanna move on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit, by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been
So, I'm just tryna hold on

Shawn spoke about what it feels like going through a break-up while discussing his new song in a video he shared on Instagram earlier this month.
"A lot of the things that also is like, resonating in the lyric for me is like, oh, f**k, you know, you don't realize, like, when you're like, breaking up with someone, you like think it's the right thing to do, you don't realize all this s**t that comes after it,” Mendes said.
He also revealed that he had panic attacks after his break-up.
"Like, who do I call when I'm like, in a panic attack? Who do I call when I'm like, f**king, on the edge? I think that's the reality that kind of hit me - it's like, ‘Oh, I'm on my own now.’ Now I feel like finally, like, I'm actually on my own, and I hate that. That's my reality, you know?"
