We love good music, but we also love some good dark humor and dissing.
Shawn Mendes released a new single 'What The Hell Are We Dying For' earlier today.
The singer-songwriter announced it just hours before it was released, along with cover art for the track, featuring the ominously orange New York City skyline, which has been transformed into something quasi-apocalyptic as a result of the devastating Canadian wildfires currently raging.

"Smoke in the air/ the city's burning down/ I want to speak/ but I don't make a sound/Locked in my mind, you're all I think about./ I want to save us, but I don't know how.
If we don't love like 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 we dying for?"
Said to be about ex Camila, here is a thread of what some Twitterzens have to say about the song.
