Mendes got candid with fans, sharing that he has been going through “a hard time with social media.” His ex, Cabello, also recently quit social media over the holidays.
“I’m having a little bit of a hard time with social media at the moment and just kind of my relationship with it,” Mendes said. “But I have lots of people sending me videos and telling me what’s going on.
The 23-year-old singer shared that the process of making music helps him understand himself better. “When I make music, the ultimate goal is to be sitting there and have my own truth revealed to me,” he explained. “And a lot of the time when I’m writing songs, I’m usually using music as a platform to be able to get to a place inside of myself that I wouldn’t be able through by just talking with people or thinking about it.”
Mendes ended the message by saying, “I just wanted to come on here and show my love and appreciation. I see you guys, and I see how much love you’re giving this song and giving me, and that means the world to me. So thank you, I love you guys.”
