“Heart of Gold” is slated to be featured on Mendes’ upcoming album, “Shawn,” set for release on November 15. The singer performed the track live at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater last month in tribute to Liam Payne, where he shared with the audience the emotional significance of the song in honoring loved ones we have lost.
Expressing his heartfelt sentiments, Mendes dedicated the performance to Payne, stating, “I just want to take a second to send so much love to him wherever he is up there. Liam, we love you. The world is crying for you, brother, and we’re all praying for your son and your family. I miss you. This one’s for you tonight, Liam, from all of us.”
Sharing the release of the single on Instagram, Mendes paid tribute to a special individual, writing, “This one’s for you Dejomi.”
Initially scheduled for October 18, Mendes postponed the release of “Shawn” to November 15, citing the need for additional time to infuse new inspiration and ideas into the album. This highly anticipated fifth album follows the success of Mendes’ 2020 release, “Wonder.”
In July, Mendes first teased the arrival of “Shawn” with the debut of the album’s lead single, “Isn’t That Enough.” Reflecting on his journey, Mendes shared on Instagram, “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.”
Accompanying the album release, Mendes also has a new concert film, “For Friends And Family Only (A Live Concert Film),” scheduled for a one-night-only screening on November 14. Filmed at Woodstock, New York’s historic Bearsville Theater, the film showcases a heartfelt performance of the self-titled album in its entirety for the first time.
