Sean Mendes gives fans their first taste of his upcoming album. The star unveiled two tracks, “Why Why Why” and “Isn't That Enough,” on Friday (August 9).
“I walked off the stage with nothing left/ All the lights were fucking with my head/ But here I'm singing songs again/ Why, oh, why/ Relax my mind,” she sings on the vulnerable “Why Why Why,” which she records his mental health in recent years.
Both “Why Why Why” and “Isn't That Enough” will be featured on Mendes' upcoming self-titled album, Seanwhich will arrive on October 18. Sean is the star's fifth studio album and follows in 2020 Wonder as well as Mendes' previous work of the same name, from 2018 Sean Mendes. The album was written and co-produced by Mendes, along with collaborators Scott Harris, Mike Sabath, Nate Mercereau and Eddie Benjamin, with additional songs written by Amy Allen and Ethan Gruska.
Last month, Mendes shared a message with fans about the project, writing: “Music really can be medicine. 2 years ago I felt like I had no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn't walk into a studio without going into a complete panic. So to be here right now with 12 beautifully finished songs is like such a gift.”
He continued, “I truly thank God for my friends and family. Life can be brutal, but being guided by a small group of people you trust deeply makes it so much better. I have no idea how I would have made it through the last two years let alone make an album without you.”
