Jointly composed by American singers and songwriters Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder, and produced by Tedder, the song is the album's lead single officially, it was Lewis's official second single, and followed "A Moment Like This". Shawn and Camila's split has caused their plans for the future to "fade to black."Bleeding Love" is a song performed by British singer Leona Lewis, who released it from her 2007 debut studio album, Spirit. "All it'd take is 24 hours / We could dance, you could throw the flowers," Shawn sings on the track, detailing the traditional first dance between a bride and groom. His 2020 song, "24 Hours," also seems to paint the scene of a wedding. Camila shut down the rumors during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she said "He has not, and I am not engaged." In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Shawn said that they had "absolutely" talked about getting engaged. When Shamila was still together, there was a flux of engagement rumors floating around. Oh, the future we dreamed of is fading to black "We've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever," the former couple wrote. He sings, "I will love you either way," which seems to tie back to him and Camila's public statement about their breakup. In the chorus, Shawn comes to terms that the romance may not work out and that they should part ways for the sake of their friendship and personal identities. We don't have to fix it, we don't have to stay If you tell me you're leaving, I'll make it easy

This set of lyrics actually ties back to Shawn's 2020 song, "Can't Imagine" in which he sings "I can't imagine / what a world would be without you." On "It'll Be Okay," he's trying to imagine what it would be like if he hadn't met or been with his partner at all. It's making me sick but we'll heal and the sun will rise I start to imagine a world where we don't collide Camila hasn't revealed the exact reason she cried, but based on these lyrics, it may have related to the fate of her romance with Shawn. In September 2021, Page Sixreported that Camila started crying on a lunch date with Shawn. He suggests calming the storm that's taking place with his partner but is doubtful that it'll solve any issues they have within the relationship.

Shawn starts the song with questions about a relationship that's taking a tumultuous turn. If you're wondering what it means for the former couple, look no further - we broke down the lyrics so you don't have to. So, you're probably wondering if the lyrics to "It'll Be Okay" allude to Shawn and Camila's breakup. "She goes, 'What do you mean?' I'm like, they're all about you. They have always been about you,'" Shawn said of Camila. "My song comes on the radio or something and I'm like, 'Everything's about you. In his Netflix documentary, Shawn Mendes: In Wonder, he admitted that most of his music tied back to the former Fifth Harmony member.

This wouldn't be the first time Camila has inspired Shawn to pen a heartfelt song. Shawn let his guard down with these lyrics, which are heartbreaking and hopeful. The 23-year-old singer shared a 12-second snippet of "It'll Be Okay" on Instagram ahead of its release on December 1, and fans could already tell that the song was going to be emotional. Shawn Mendes dropped his first song since his breakup with Camila Cabello, and Shamila shippers are not going to be okay.
