There’s nothing holding Shawn Mendes back from singing about the rumors.
During a recent performance in New York City, the 26-year-old debuted a new song called, “The Mountain” from his forthcoming album Shawn. In a TikTok video shared by a fan on Oct. 19, Shawn performed the new single, which seemingly addresses the rumors of his sexuality among other comments he’s seen about himself.
In the clip, Shawn strums his guitar as he strums his guitar and sings the lyrics “I have a change of heart / you can say what you need to say / you can say I’m too young / you can say I’m too old/you can say I like girls or boys / whatever fits your mold.”
As Shawn sings the lyric, the crowd begins to cheer in support.
E! News has reached out to Shawn’s rep regarding the lyrics but hasn’t heard back.
