AceShowbiz - Shawn Mendes is channeling his feelings into music. On Wednesday, December 1, the "Where Were You in the Morning" singer treated fans to a new emotional breakup ballad titled "It'll Be Okay".

The soft, piano-backed melancholic track sees the Canadian star talking about the end of a turbulent relationship as he sings, "The future we dreamed of is fading to black." In the chorus, he appears to want to assure himself that things will be okay as he repeatedly sings, "it'll be okay."

"If you tell me you're leaving/ I'll make it easy/ It'll be okay/ If we can't stop the bleeding," the 23-year-old sings. "We don't have to fix it/ We don't have to stay/ I will love you either way."

Prior to the release, Shawn teased the song on Tuesday. He took to his Instagram account to share a 12-second snippet of the melody. "it'll be okay, tomorrow 12/1 7pm EST," he wrote in the caption. Fans were beyond excited over the new single. "I know this is gonna hurt so bad," one fan wrote. While another said, "HEARTBREAK ERA."

The breakup song arrived just two weeks after Shawn and Camila Cabello announced their split after dating for 2 years. In a joint statement shared on their respective Instagram accounts, the former couple said, "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever."

The "Senorita" collaborators then assured fans that they will continue to be best friends despite calling it quits. "We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward," the statement read.

The announcement unsurprisingly left fans heartbroken. "Damn, I thought they would get married," someone said. "But I'm sobbing here but I'll respect them in and as a person," another fan wrote in an Instagram comment.
