In one of Shawn Mendes<\/strong>‘ new songs “The Mountain,” he sings, “You can say I\u2019m too young\/ You can say I\u2019m too old\/ You can say I like girls or boys\/ Whatever fits your mold.” And according to Shawn, when it comes to his sexuality, he’s not exactly sure himself.<\/p>\n

As captured in a fan’s TikTok at his concert on Oct. 28 in Colorado, Shawn tells the crowd, “Since I was really young, there\u2019s been this thing about my sexuality and people have been talking about it for so long. And I think it\u2019s kind of silly because I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing and it\u2019s so hard to just put into boxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

He goes on to say that such speculation “always felt like such an intrusion on something very personal to me, something that I was figuring out in myself, something that I had yet to discover and still have yet to discover.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then adds, “The real truth about my life and about my sexuality is that, man, I\u2019m just figuring it out like everyone and I don\u2019t really know sometimes, and I know other times. And it feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about that, and I\u2019m trying to be really brave and just allow myself to be a human and feel things.\u201d<\/p>\n

“That’s all I really wanna say about that for now,” he concluded, before singing “The Mountain.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

When he was 17, Shawn denied he was gay, adding that it shouldn’t make a difference whether he is or isn’t.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shawn’s new album Shawn<\/em> is out Nov. 15.<\/p>\n
