With his new album, ‘Illuminate’ set for release on September 23, internet sensation Shawn Mendes teases his fans with his new single, ‘Mercy’. It’s a deeply\u00a0emotional track destined to pull on your heart strings. It’s a ballad with Shawn’s huge vocals and a multi-layered instrumental track featuring guitar and piano.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It’s a love song that will have you caught between humming along and crying – it’s moving and beautiful, and we hope it says a lot about what to expect from ‘Illuminate’.<\/p>\n
