Shawn Mendes previously released new tracks "In My Blood" and "Lost In Japan" from his highly-anticipated third album. Both tracks have already experienced massive success, soaring to Nos. 22 and 64, respectively, on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 1 and No. 2 on the overall iTunes chart in the U.S, Top 5 on iTunes in 50 countries, and holding the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on Spotify's "New Music Friday" playlist. The tracks have received critical acclaim from outlets including Rolling Stone, Billboard, Idolator, Variety and Paste, with "In My Blood" topping TIME magazine's "5 Songs You Need to Listen to This Week" and The New York Times' "The Playlist." "In My Blood" and "Lost In Japan" are the first new songs released by Shawn since his 3x Platinum hit "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" in April 2017.

The track scored Shawn his second No. 1 single on Billboard's Pop Songs chart, joining 6x Platinum single "Stitches." With "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back," Shawn also became the first artist to ever have three No. 1 singles on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart before the age of 20. Throughout his career, Shawn has achieved two No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 with Handwritten (2015) and Illuminate (2016), two Platinum albums, and seven consecutive Platinum and multi-Platinum singles. Worldwide, he has sold over 10 million albums, 100 million singles, and has amassed over 11 billion song streams and 4 billion Youtube views. Shawn has completed two sold-out world tours with over one million tickets sold, selling out legendary arenas including NYC's Madison Square Garden, Toronto's Air Canada Centre, and London's O2 Arena in minutes. He topped Billboard's "21 Under 21" in 2017 and has been featured on Forbes "30 Under 30," Spotify's "25 Under 25," and Time Magazine's "Most Influential Teens" for 4 consecutive years. In February 2018, ROI Influencer Media recognized Shawn as the #1 Most Influential Artist and #1 Most Influential Teen across all social media platforms.

Supporting the release of his self-titled third album, multiplatinum and chart-topping singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes will HIT THE ROAD in 2019 on a global arena tour. "Shawn Mendes: The Tour" will mark his third global headline tour, following his sold out 2017 arena trek, kicking off on March 7, 2019 in Europe and running through the summer with 56 dates spanning across North America, the UK and Europe, and more dates to be announced later.
