Posted April 11, 20178 yr WBBM-FM, a US radio station, has added this song from Shawn Mendes as their Hot Pick on AllAccess, so looks like it's going to be released next. Edited April 18, 20178 yr by Juan Carlos 🌊
April 11, 20178 yr :o :o :o I thought we might be getting something new sooner rather than later given how the Illuminate era seemed to stop dead after Mercy but I didn't think we'd be hearing news quite so soon, this is really exciting!
April 11, 20178 yr Author I don't think they are giving up on Illuminate and it could be a re-release of the album instead. Anyway, it should be mentioned that in the last days of January, "Lights On" (*) was added by another US station, KYLD-FM, as their Hot Pick, so there were intentions to release that track as the next single, but I guess it didn't happen because "Mercy" was still doing well on US pop radio, peaking last month, so I assume his label scrapped that idea and they want to go with something new this time. (*) Initially, it was labeled as "Lights", so I thought it was a new song, but it was updated to "Lights On" days later.
April 12, 20178 yr Been confirmed that Shawn Mendes is releasing a brand new single this month. :w00t: http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/shawn-men...olding-me-back/ Canadian singer-songwriter and global pop star Shawn Mendes is about to impact the music scene with a brand new single called “Holding Me Back“. The track becomes his first proper release this year and first after the promotion of his second studio album “Illuminate”, which was launched back in September. For now, it’s not confirmed if the song is the first taste of his next project or there’s an upcoming re-release on the way. “Holding Me Back” will be available on digital retailers and streaming services later this month.
April 17, 20178 yr I guess it's only a matter of time before the biggest Canadian, Justin Bieber, follows suit to have another mass Canadian chart invasion with Drake & Shawn Mendez taking over! Mr Buble may also make a guest appearance.

April 19, 20178 yr That title just seems too long and clunky, 'Holding Me Back' sounds better on its own but obviously I'll wait to properly judge the song itself.
April 20, 20178 yr This is included as Track 1 on a re-release of Illuminate! It's surprisingly upbeat, liking it a lot. :D

April 20, 20178 yr YESS! Definitely the sort of thing I wanted from him. :wub: Not here for an 'Illuminate' Re-Release though :drama:
April 20, 20178 yr It's just one of those lazy re-releases like when the Tinashe version of Slumber Party got added to a Glory re-release really. There's no other new tracks and probably no physical edition, they've just added this at the beginning :lol: kinda begs the question of "what's the point" :')
