Shawn has released three songs for his upcoming album, including 'Why Why Why' and 'Isn't That Enough'.
The album's third release, 'Nobody Knows', received rave reviews.
His fans are disappointment that they won't get to hear his new album just yet. "Okay but you know we are traumatized so maybe letting us know if everything is okay and if the FAFO schedule remains the same is a good idea, love u," one X user wrote.
Another user added: "Take ur time but this is so last minute. No hate but we were literally ONE week away from the album."
Shawn has already released the album's tracklist, and fans are already speculating if some of the songs are about his ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello and his rumoured former flame, Sabrina Carpenter. They reportedly had a "situationship" in 2023 before Shawn reunited with Camilla.

Sabrina's new album, 'Short n’ Sweet', allegedly features several songs about Shawn. One of those songs is 'Taste'.
“I heard you’re back together and if that’s true / You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you / If you want forever, I bet you do / Just know you’ll taste me too," she sings.
Sabrina told Zane Lowe in an Apple Music interview that some tracks are about brief relationships.
“I thought about some of these relationships and how some of them were the shortest I’ve ever had, and they affected me the most,” the pop star said.

At least one song on Shawn's upcoming album seems to make reference to Camila. In 'Nobody Knows', Shawn sings: "You're an amateur drunk and everyone knows it / But f*** you're the one and I live for those moments / When the bottle is open, anything can happen / Flyin' too close to the sun."
The last line appears to refer to Camila's Instagram bio, which reads: "long, thick black hair turned white from flying too close to the sun."
