Mendes, the superstar who brought you Stitches and Treat You Better is back and better than before. His first tune "In My Blood" from his newly anticipated album is already a chart topper as it debut No. 72 on the Billboard Charts. It has already garnered 22m US streams and was downloaded 27k times in the week ending March 22.
The song draws inspiration from his battle with anxiety as he quickly rose to fame over the past few years. Quoting a recent YouTube interview, "The best thing about it is that it’s not all down. The whole reason I wrote the song was to be like, at the very end, ‘It’s not in my blood to do that.'"
In My Blood starts off in somber mood but gradually progresses towards a chorus with upbeat drum beats and electrifying guitar strums. Quotable lyrics phrase include
"Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood"
Certainly a fast chart riser in the next few weeks to come as Shawn Mendes amazes his fans with powerful vocals and meaningful lyrics that resonate well with our current predicaments of life.
