Shawn Mendes Struggling with Social Media

Shawn Mendes shared a very personal message to his followers on Instagram, thanking them for connecting with his new song, “It’ll Be Okay.” He released it just after splitting with Camila Cabello, his girlfriend of over two years,.

In a two minute video, he said: “I see a lot of TikToks of people crying and getting emotional and stuff, and I hope that’s because there’s some truth in the song, and there lies honestly in it.”

He added: “I’m 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.”

The song details the end of a turbulent relationship that transitions into a hopeful attitude of healing and acceptance.

Mendes and Cabello announced their breakup in a joint statement made on each of their Instagram pages in November. In part, they wrote that they will “continue to be best friends” despite ending their romantic relationship.
