In an unexpected revelation, pop sensation Shawn Mendes launched a new song on June 9, 2023, titled ‘What The Hell Are We Dying For?’, catching his fan base by surprise. The sudden release and poignant lyrics have stirred up a whirlwind of speculation among netizens, all questioning the inspiration behind the heart-wrenching melody.
Mendes and Cabello: Rekindled Flames in Melody?
This all-new composition seems to point subtly yet significantly towards Mendes’s reputed partner, Camila Cabello.

Fans are dissecting ‘What The Hell Are We Dying For?’ lyrics, convinced it is Mendes’s heartfelt declaration to his partner, Cabello.

In the past, the singer-songwriter has openly confessed his deep admiration for Cabello, admitting that his love songs are often inspired by the ‘Havana’ singer. This track, with lyrics such as “Locked in my mind, you’re all I think about / I wanna save us, but I don’t know how”, only further fuels this belief.
An Emotional Rollercoaster in Lyrics
Mendes continues the emotional narrative, expressing a struggle to rekindle an old flame. “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?” This heart-wrenching inquiry, paired with lines about a love not cutting like it used to, subtly alludes to the rocky relationship between Mendes and Cabello.
The song, ending with a profound statement, “Livin’ without you / Is not livin’ at all,” intensifies the speculation. This seems to mirror the couple’s own journey, as they parted ways in 2021, only to reunite earlier this year, as seen in their much-publicised Coachella music festival kiss.
Controversial Timing Amidst Wildfire Crisis
However, this heartfelt song’s release was not without controversy. Mendes faced a backlash for utilising the devastating Canadian wildfires as a backdrop to his promotional campaign, which many netizens deemed as insensitivity to a significant crisis.
As the conjecture about ‘What The Hell Are We Dying For?’ lyrics continues, the suspense surrounding Mendes and Cabello’s relationship status only adds to the intrigue. As fans eagerly await an official statement, Mendes’s song remains a testament to the couple’s tumultuous love story.
