Shawn Mendes has opened up about his relationship to social media while thanking fans for supporting latest single, “It’ll Be Okay.”
“I just wanted to make a little video and say thank you to everybody who has been connecting with ‘It’ll Be Okay’ and posting videos,” Mendes, 23, shared from his Toronto home Thursday“I’m having a little bit of a hard time with social media at the moment and just kind of my relationship with it. But I have lots of people sending me videos and telling me what’s going on.
“When I make music, the ultimate goal is to be sitting there and have my own truth revealed to me,” he went on. “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.”AFP via Getty Images

“I just wanted to come on here and show my love and appreciation,” Mendes concluded his message. “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.”
