Shawn Mendes is ready for his next musical era.

The pop superstar took to Instagram on Wednesday (July 31) to announce that his self-titled album, Shawn, will be arriving on October 18. He also revealed the 12-song tracklist, adding that the first two singles “Why Why Why” and “Isn’t That Enough” will be arriving on August 8.


Mendes also shared an album trailer, featuring the 25-year-old playing guitar in a forest, and at a campfire surrounded by friends singing “Isn’t That Enough.” He wrote in the caption, “Music really can be medicine. 2 years ago I felt like I had absolutely no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn’t step into a studio without falling into complete panic. So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift.”

He continued his message, “Honestly thank god for my friends and family. Life can be brutal but having a small group of people you deeply trust to walk you through makes it so much better. I have no idea how I would have made it through the last couple years let alone make an album without you.”

After thanking his friends and family for sticking by his side, Mendes shouted out his fans. “And to you guys who have been so unbelievably supportive and patient and loving thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really hope you love this album, I do. I really really do. I hope it makes you feel warm and close to the earth like it does for me.

The album was written and co-produced by Mendes, along with collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau and Eddie Benjamin, with additional songs co-written by Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska.
