Pop star Shawn Mendes showed a lack of impulse control yesterday. His record label and manager must be quite alarmed.
Mendes dropped a new song onto social media that he literally wrote yesterday. He was obviously inspired by the orange haze over New York caused by the Canadian wildfires. The song is called “What the Hell Are We Dying For?” And Mendes used a picture of the city blanketed in the haze — which is having serious health and environment repercussions — as the image for the song.
I guess Shawn has never heard the expression, “Too early?”
He wrote on Twitter: “Started writing this song yesterday morning with my friends in upstate Newyork & finished it only a few hours ago..felt so important to me to share with you guys in real time”
Let’s be understanding. If you were 24 right now, you’ve had three years of the scare of a killing virus, lockdown, wearing masks, and this week’s air smelling and tasting like chemicals. No generation has ever gone through this before.
Still, again, maybe this is why you should wait and consider spur of the moment ideas.
