Just as you start to enjoy being single, you start to get lonely. At least that’s how it worked for me… Oh, and Shawn Mendes.

He and Camila Cabello called it quits back in November 2021 with a matching post to Instagram stories saying,

“Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever. 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.”

Now that it’s been a few months, Shawn is relfecting on how it feels to now have someone to freak out to. Relatable. He says in an Instagram video,

“Who do I call when I’m like in a panic attack? Who do I call when I’m like f-ing on the edge?”

I shouldn’t say it. I shouldn’t say it. Ghostbusters.

Anyway, he’s right. Breaking up is hard. Getting over the breakup is also hard. Peep the video below:

Since the split, each of them have put out new music… about breakups. Shawn’s is a little bit somber with a touch of optimism in “It’ll Be Okay.”

Camila’s is an upbeat jam where she gets drunk and dances the night away with Ed Sheeran in “Bam Bam.”
