Singer Shawn Mendes took to social media on Tuesday to spill the beans on his growth journey over the past year. ‘The Wonder’ crooner shared a post featuring a video of himself casually belting out tunes with a harmonium and let’s say, it was a vibe.
Mendes said, “So, over the last year, I’ve been crooning away like this. I discovered that in moments of sheer anxiety or fear, parking myself with my trusty harmonium and letting it rip would do wonders to soothe the soul.”
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter went on to reveal that initially, letting loose without the quest for perfection felt like a tough nut to crack. However, he soon found himself falling head over heels for the interplay between the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ notes.

Shawn confessed, “I clocked that there were moments of sheer bliss and euphoria from the ‘right’ notes precisely because of the ‘wrong’ ones. Singing in tune only became my jam because I learned to lend an ear.” The ‘Stitches’ singer also dropped the knowledge bomb that his major takeaway from 2023 was learning to “embrace and welcome the lows of life.”
The singer wrapped up his reflections, saying, “No need to be on a constant mission to fix things up just to catch a high again. If I take a chill pill and really tune in when I’m feeling down, there’s always a melody to be heard.”
This isn’t the first time the singer has been candid about his mental health. Back in July 2022, he hit the pause button on his ‘Wonder: World Tour,’ citing the need to focus on his mental well-being.
“It was a tough process—lots of therapy, trying to untangle my feelings, and doing the work to heal,” Mendes confessed. He also gave props to the support system around him, acknowledging the difficulty of the journey but expressing gratitude for the positive changes it brought.

Since then, Mendes has been spotted breaking a sweat in the Los Angeles canyons and flaunting his chiselled physique in Ibiza, Spain.
