Shawn Mendes: 'What the Hell Are We Dying For?' Lyrics & Stream Released - Listen Now!

Shawn Mendes has released his new song “What The Hell Are We Dying For?” and you can listen to it here, plus read the lyrics.

This is Shawn‘s first new song to be released in over a year and marks his return to the music scene after taking a break last summer to focus on his mental health.

Shawn announced the song just hours before it dropped at the stroke of midnight on Friday morning (June 9). He drew some criticism for making the artwork a photo of the orange sky that covered New York City in the aftermath of the Canadian wildfires.

The artwork is fitting for the song as it begins, “Smoke in the air, the city’s burning down / I wanna speak but I don’t make a sound.”

Head inside to listen to the new song…

Shawn sings in the chorus, “If we don’t love likе we used to / If we don’t care like we used to / What the hell are we dying for? / If it doesn’t cut like it used to / If you’re not mine and I’m not yours / What the hell are dying for?”
