Shawn Mendes' 'Illuminate': Album Review
Is Shawn's new LP a departure or more of the same? Read our review.

EDIT: Updated with streaming link.

Shawn Mendes is releasing a new single on Thursday (April 20) called “There’s No Holdin’ Me Back.” The 18-year-old shared the blurry cover art on Instagram this afternoon and teased a couple of snippets on social media. It’s the first taste of an upcoming repackage of chart-topping sophomore LP, Illuminate. There are high expectations for the track given the success of previous singles, “Treat You Better” and “Mercy.” They both cracked the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went top 10 at pop radio.

What’s his new song about? I’d bet money that it deals with matters of the heart. “Love is probably the strongest emotion that you can feel,” Shawn said in Flaunt magazine. “It’s very natural — and I wouldn’t want to say easy — but natural and comfortable to write about, and there’s so many different forms of it, millions of layers, you could write forever about it.” Awww. See the announcement for his new single below.

New single "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" out Thursday (midnight tomorrow night)! #HoldinMeBack
