Today, multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes unveiled his latest single, "Nobody Knows," from his highly anticipated upcoming album, Shawn. The track is now available to stream HERE and watch the lyric video HERE. Earlier this evening, Shawn delivered the first live TV performance from his upcoming album with a soulful rendition of "Nobody Knows" at the MTV VMAs."Nobody Knows" was co-written and produced by Shawn alongside longtime collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, and Eddie Benjamin, marking another standout moment in the lead-up to the album's release.
The new song follows the releases of “Why Why Why” and “Isn’t That Enough” from last month. Listen here. All tracks will appear on his newly announced self-titled album, Shawn, set for release on October 18. Pre-order it here.
Shawn is Mendes’ fifth studio release and draws deeply from his travels and experiences over the last few years, following the cancellation of his 2022 tour. It represents his most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date, guiding listeners through a profound self-dialogue with each song. Written and recorded over the course of two years, the project was crafted in diverse locations including Nosara, Costa Rica; Clubhouse Studio in Rhinebeck, NY; Bear Creek Studio in Washington State; Darkhorse Recordings in Nashville; and Electric Lady in New York City.
The album was written andamp; co-produced by Mendes, alongside collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath (Raye’s “My 21st Century Blues”), Nate Mercereau (Andre 3000 “New Blue Sun”), and Eddie Benjamin, with additional songs co-written by GRAMMY award winning writer Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska (Bon Iver and Phoebe Bridgers). The record also features instrumentation from the Punch Brothers’ Chris Thile.
Shawn also kicked off his limited run of intimate shows last month in Woodstock and London, performing the upcoming album in its entirety. The shows provide fans with a first look at his new music in the setting where it was created. These performances will continue in cities where Shawn recorded the new album, including Nashville, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Click here for more information.
