Shawn Mendes Faces Backlash Over Controversial Artwork for New Single.
TL;DR Summary
Shawn Mendes releases a new song titled "What the Hell Are We Dying For?" which appears to be about the end of a relationship, but also nods to the ongoing climate catastrophe as the East Coast is choked by smoke from wildfires. The song marks Mendes' first release of 2023 and was written this week with cover art featuring the New York City skyline barely visible under a shroud of smoke. Mendes had canceled the remainder of his 2022 tour to focus on his mental health and is now excited to return to making music.
