- open me bitch!:
- On his recent hit "Nonstop"
Yeah, it is the lead single from my upcoming record. These are the first releases from me since like 5 years ago, so it is pretty exciting! Especially with the single, it has been so overwhelming to see everyone supporting it so much and so quick, from day one. It is a song that is very special to me for multiple reasons and to see it doing the numbers it is doing is priceless to me. I am very grateful to be in this position and can not wait to repay all the support with more great tunes!
On collaborating with Victoria Monét and Gunna
I would never work with someone I did not think has something to bring to the table. And those two are powerhouses, I loved their recent releases and with "Sticky", I just had to jump on the track when I was offered the chance to. We had a lot of fun creating the remix and we have kept in contact since. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with them always, and have no doubt we will be joining forces again sometime!
On collaborating with NIKE for a sponsorship
It is crazy to me that I will be working with NIKE. I have always worn NIKE and now being their ambassador feels insane. I can not wait to show everyone what we have been working on. Actually, the first advertisement is rolling out tomorrow so stay tuned for that!

Camila Cabello on Z100
July 27th | US | Tier 4
3rd article for week of July 24th
- Interview:
- Host: Good morning New York! I hope that by now you have gotten yourself a nice cup of morning coffee to kick off your day. I know our next guest has! She took over the world as part of Fifth Harmony, and now she's ready to do it solo. Here in the studio right now, it’s Camila Cabello!
Camila: Hiiii! Hii everyone! It’s me, Camila!
Host: How are you feeling today, Camila?
Camila: I’m doing great! So happy to finally be back in the States. I’ve been gone for so long!
Host: Ah yes, the life of an international pop star. I can imagine how tiring it is taking private jets to fly all around the world. (laughs)
Camila: (laughs) Yeah, I know how that sounds. I definitely know I’m blessed for having the job that I have, and I’m very thankful for it. However, I’m just not going around the world to lounge on beaches. Most of the time, I don’t even get to be a tourist in the country I’m visiting. For instance, I was just in Paris but didn’t even get to see the Eiffel tower, besides from the view of my car!
Host: I totally understand. So if travelling around the world is tiring, why do you do it?
Camila: For my fans. I would do literally anything for them. They’re my rock. I have a bunch of fans worldwide who don’t get to easily see me like my American fans would. I know what it’s like to feel like your favourite artist doesn’t even know your city exists. I felt that when I was growing up in Mexico. So I’ve made it my mission to visit as many places as I can to meet the most amount of fans I can!
Host: That’s something quite nice of you!
Camila: Thanks! (laughs)
Host: Shifting gears to your music, where are you in the album process? Your fans are dying to know!
Camila: (laughs) Well, I can actually speak on some of these things for once. My album is almost done! I’ve recorded all the vocals, and it’s now in post-production. Well, that is if I don’t change my mind and decide to go back and fix some things. I do do that a lot! (laughs)
Host: So, when can we expect it?
Camila: Be patient! (laughs) I just released “She Loves Control” a month ago! Don’t tell me you’re already tired of it…
Host: Definitely not! In fact, it’s so good that it’s making me want to hear your album just full of that sound!
Camila: (laughs) I appreciate the kind words about “She Loves Control”. It means a lot to me!
Host: So… can I get an album release date... or not?
Camila: Oh, boy! God help me! (laughs)
Host: Just teasing! Well, it’s been fun having you here in the studio today, Camila!
Camila: Loved it! I had a blast!
Host: Before you go, could you introduce your debut single to our listeners?
Camila: Why not? Hey, what’s up, it's Camila Cabello. You’re listening to Z100, and this is my debut single “She Loves Control”!
“She Loves Control” plays on the radio station.

The Breakfast Club Interview (US)
July 27th, 2020
Tier 4
Shawn on missing the #1 spot and Victoria Monet
You know I’m fine with it! My manager said I still had the second biggest sales week of the year so far, so… my fans always say quick peaks don’t matter so I’d rather have longevity. Charts are not my main motivation, but when it is be rest assured I won’t play dirty. And Victoria? Next question.

Shawn on the state of the industry
I think there’s so much new talent around right now which I feel lucky to be apart of, but I think a lot of that is overshadowed by some labels and managers trying to get quick number one singles by selling jockstraps and condoms in return for song sales. The focus is no longer on the art! And yes, ‘MY MY MY!’ Is art.
Shawn on future remixes
I have an exciting remix lined up with a good friend of mine who you all know and love, plus another special guest. It’s coming very very soon! I’ll leave all my fans to speculate who it’s with but just know it’ll be art.
Shawn on his music video and big streaming week
55 Million views in a week! I couldn’t believe it really, but I’m glad it's getting recognition. Grant singer did an amazing job at directing, along with my input! The insane amount of flux streams just tops it all off for me as well, my fans are the best! They’ve believed in this song from the start, when others didn’t. Proud we’ve proved the doubters wrong!

Camila Cabello on Late Night Berlin
July 28th | GER (EU) | Free Promo | I+P
4th article for week of July 24th
This performance was pre-recorded when Camila was in Germany on July 19th as Late Night Berlin is NOT live.
- Interview + Performance:
- Host: Performing her debut single “She Loves Control”, Ms. Camila Cabello!
On the stage, there is a screen that reads “CAMILA” on it in bold black font. In front of the screen stands Camila and the band behind her. Camila is wearing a white top with wide sleeves and a black high waisted skin-tight pant to accentuate her body. As the music starts, Camila starts to sing the first verse and acts very sensual, touching her body and face. When the beat starts, her background dancers come and the two dancers on each side of her are all into the music. When the chorus starts a huge backtrack on vocals is heard. As the song progresses Camila is dancing and singing with the dancers. When the bridge comes Camila is singing with Mariah-like vocals but maintaining her Rihanna-like sexiness. The last chorus comes and Camila and the dancers go all out with the final choreography. The performance ends and the host returns on stage for a short interview with Camila.
Host: A show-stopping performance by Ms. Cabello! Camila, how on earth do you do that?!
Camila: (takes a couple of breaths as she’s tired from the performance) A lot and a lot of practice!
Host: Well, practice does make perfect after all! Now a little birdie was chirping in my ear, and I heard that you wrote “She Loves Control” in under 30 minutes?
Camila: (laughs) Yes, that is true! Well, I had two other amazing writers to help!
Host: That is still amazingly fast! I heard that it takes some other female pop stars over 30 DAYS to get their team of 9 writers to make a song about starting now and what not!
Camila: I wouldn’t know anything about that. I write all of my music myself, with no more than 3 other people. While I do believe collaboration is a good thing, I also believe that music is extremely personal, and should be as much as your own words as possible!
Host: I believe the same! And we can clearly see you care about the artistry of songwriting through your lyrics.
Camila: Thank you!
Host: Well, thank you once again for that wonderful performance, Camila. It was just amazing!
Camila: My pleasure!
Host: Please give it up for Camila Cabello one more time! “She Loves Control” is available now!

He waves to his fans stood outside the windows in the studio before sitting down to talk with the co-hosts.
Shawn: Hi thanks for having me! I had a great time performing for you guys.
Host: That is what you call a perfect pop song! Infinitely catchy, amazing production and an equally incredible singer to match. How does it feel to be such a talented force at a young age?
Shawn: Well first of all thank you for complimenting the song! I will have to say I agree *laughs*, but seriously I have so many people to credit. I wrote the song but my amazing team of producers turned the song to magic! It feels great to be seen as a force when I’m this early into my career, but we have to give credit where its due.
Host: Moving away from music quickly, there are rumours that you’ve signed an exclusive sponsorship with a certain underwear brand! I’m sure your fans would love to know if its true.
Shawn: I cannot say anything at this time, but I have recently signed a long term sponsorship that I can’t wait to get working on! My mom might not be happy when she’s the photos, but my fans definitely will be *laughs*
Host: I think the whole world has just simultaneously turned your instagram notifications on! We cannot wait. Thanks for coming in to chat to us, ‘MY MY MY! Is out now all platforms!

Camila Cabello on MBC FM4U
July 29th | SK | Tier 4
5th article for week of July 24th
- Interview:
- Host: Right now on the phone line we have an international superstar whose success has been rising astronomically for the past month. Please welcome, Camila Cabello!
Camila: Hello hello!
Host: Hello Camila! Let’s jump right into it. It has now been a little over one month since the release of “She Loves Control. How do you feel?
Camila: Oh my god. One month already? Wow. Time really flew by! I feel happier than ever right now! The past month has been amazing. I’ve gotten to fly all over the world to perform, and see so many of my fans. And the response to “She Loves Control” is better than I ever expected! So happy to see that people love it!
Host: That’s good to hear! “She Loves Control” is amazing. Definitely one of my favourite songs of the year. And it’s just slowly starting to take off here in Korea!
Camila: Thank you! Also thank you to all of my South Korean fans who have been listening and buying. I promise you all I am dying to come over there! In fact, I’m actually there next week!
Host: Really? Wow! I cannot wait to see you around! What are you looking most forward to here in Korea?
Camila: Definitely the food! I’m obsessed with Korean food. Everything is just so delicious. Kimchi is my kryptonite!
Host: Good choice! Contact me when you are here, I would love to treat you to a dish of our most amazing cuisine!
Camila: (nervously laughs) Sure!
Host: Back to your music, when can we expect a music video for “She Loves Control”.
Camila: Soon! Real soon! It will come out next month. I just finished shooting it actually. The concept is just so amazing. I’m a very visual person, so I made sure that the video fits the vision that I saw while creating the song.
Host: I’m sure it will be amazing whenever it comes out. Well, until then, I wish you the best Camila. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to call us!
Camila: It was nothing! Anything to get a break from dance rehearsals! (laughs)
Host: That was Camila Cabello, everyone! Her single “She Loves Control” is out everywhere now, and here it is playing now!
“She Loves Control” plays on the station.

Camila Cabello Finds Out Which Pop Star She Really Is | BuzzFeed Celeb
July 29th | US | Free Promo
6th article for week of July 24th
Camila: Hey I’m Camila Cabello and I’m about to take this Which Pop Star Are You quiz. Let’s do it!
BuzzFeed Celeb intro plays.
Question: What hair color do you prefer?
Options: “I don’t know I like to change it up” “My natural colour” “Usually something dark, but I’m open to change” “Blonde!”
Camila: Okay, so I’ve actually never not had dark hair. Yeah, I sometimes lightened my hair, but it has always been brown to black. I just think it looks better on me. However, I am open to testing out a different colour one day. But I am scared to dye my hair, so I’d prob just wear a wig. I’m gonna go with “Usually something dark, but I’m open to change”!
Question: How do your friends describe you?
Options: “Funny and weird” “Caring and warmhearted” “Laid-back, but also pretty emotional” “Crazy, but down to earth”
Camila: I’m like a total introvert. My girlfriends are always trying to force me to go out with them, but I would much rather just stay home in my pyjamas and watch HBO. I’m also a very emotional person. When I cry, it’s like a tsunami. Tears everywhere baby. So yeah, “Laid-back, but also pretty emotional” it is!
Question: What is your favorite school subject?
Options: “Science” “English” “A foreign language” “Lunch break, tbh”
Camila: I hate hate HATED science when I was in high school. Days when I had science tests were literally my biggest nightmare. So scratch that out immediately! The food at my school was disgusting. I would literally have to force myself to eat it out of fear of starving if I don’t. So def, not that. The only foreign language class at my school was basic Spanish, but I’m a native speaker so I found the class really really boring doing just fundamentals. English was so much fun! I just loved how we got to express our thoughts. Either through poems, short stories or essays! High school English class definitely made me appreciate writing and set me on the path of becoming a songwriter. So yup, definitely that!
Question: What do you do in your free time?
Options: “More work” “Stay in and watch a movie” “Something quiet with friends” “I love going out”
Camila: See, if you had asked this a year ago, I would have definitely said “Stay in and watch a movie”. But ever since starting my solo career, writing music and rehearsing for performances, both of which are technically work, have become my favourite things to do in my spare time. Gotta go with “More work” then!
Question: Which of these is your favorite meal?
Options: “A salad” “Pizza” “Something homemade” Burgers”
Camila: Pizza. The answer is always pizza!
Camila: Ahhhh! Okay, let’s see what I got! Wait, am I a potential result in this quiz?
Producer: Yes, you are.
Camila: Then I better get myself. How funny would it be if I don’t get myself… SELENA GOMEZ? HUH? I HAVEN’T HEARD OF HER IN YEARS! Let’s see what it says
Explanation: You've been keeping to yourself a bit more recently, which is a totally reasonable thing to do. You've spent your whole life being the center of attention and keeping people happy, so it's more than fair to take some time to do your own thing.
Camila: Well, I guess that does make sense. I am a very private person. I don’t know about the whole center of attention thing though (laughs). But I absolutely agree with me now doing my own thing. I literally define that right now with my solo career!
Camila: Thank you for watching this video. Click the box above to subscribe to BuzzFeed Celeb to keep watching more hilarious celeb content, and click the box below to listen to my single “She Loves Control”, out everywhere now! Byeeeee! (blows a kiss)

Victoria Monet x Alan Carr
July 27th Paid UK
Victoria drops by the Alan Carr show to discuss the success of her debut single Sticky and to also announce new music!
Victoria on Sticky’s Success
My label just called me up an hour or so ago to tell me that Sticky is actually expected to be #1 on not only the US hot 100 but also the Europe hot 100! I was so SHOCKED. I’m so happy that my fans helped me so much and gave me this immense success. I don’t want to base any of my happiness on chart success but I HAVE to thank everyone for this achievement. Its so crazy that I would be in the booth writing songs with artists talking about how the song needs to sound like a “hit” to go #1 and now here I am with an authentic song I created going #1 in just a couple of weeks! I’ll never be able to repay y’all but I’ll try.
Victoria on new music
I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this but I plan on releasing a mixtape on August 21st. It will be going on pre-order on July 31st and I’m so excited to say it. My label might kill me for saying this but I couldn’t hold it in anymore. In a way, this is me repaying my fans for helping me get to #1. It has a couple of collabs as well!
*cut to commercial*
Alan: Now to perform the #1 hit Sticky, give it up for Victoria Monet
The performance consists of Victoria breaking away from her dance formation for the verses to engaging the opposite side of the audience than her dancers. Then, they meet up for the chorus’ and perform the iconic sticky choreography. The performance finishes with a dance break and Victoria blowing a kiss to the audience and laughing.

Victoria Monet x Ellen Degeneres
July 27th Paid US Pre-recorded
Victoria drops by The Ellen Degeneres to discuss her chart performance and new music
Victoria Monet on her chart success.
The billboard charts officially came out today and I was so happy at the result. They say it was the strongest #1’s of the year so far! I felt so proud of myself and thankful of all of my fans for doing this for me. Recently, there have been rumours circulating about me on Twitter than are completely false. I didn't want to say anything but I learned that this was from a rival camp who was fighting for #1 and so I think it's important to call it out! None of the rumours are true and its created from people angry that they weren’t #1 and I just find it so disgusting that people would try to ruin someone’s reputation over anger!
Victoria on new music
I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be releasing my debut mixtape on August 21st. It is by no means a replacement for my album but it was just a gift for the fans for waiting this long. I have a backlog of songs that I would love to share so I have no reason to hide them from all of my fans. It’s a mixtape because I didn’t want to be stuck into one theme or have to make a “cohesive” story but instead, just something fun!
*commercial break*
Ellen: Now, to perform her #1 smash hit debut single give it up for THE Victoria Monet!
The performance begins with the screens slowly opening to reveal Victoria standing alone with just a mic. The performance consists of Victoria moving around the stage and vibing to the music while she sings the song. She goes to the staircase where the audience sits and walks up it while singing to really engage the entire audience. She goes back to the front to finish the performance before thanking the audience for having her and reminding them to purchase Sticky and its remix on iTunes and to stream on Flux!

Victoria discusses how Sweet But Psycho is one of her favourite pop songs that’s released recently. She discusses how she actually met Ava at the SME brunch a couple of weeks ago. She talks about how Ava is such a funny and genuine person and that she’s super excited to see what lies ahead for her music journey! Ava is definitely Victoria’s favourite pop artist right now! The next word is “stopwatch”. Victoria immediately says “this a rollie not a stopwatch shit dont never stop!” She apologizes and asks if she was allowed to swear while laughing. She discusses how her fellow SME label mate Drake is one of her favourite artists because it seems like all of his songs and raps come so effortlessly. She says “you can also bop to a drake song!” The next word is “myself”. Victoria takes a long pause to think before saying “I love myself and I don’t need anybody else! I love that song by Hillary Steinfeld!” The final word is “my” which Victoria takes a long pause before giving up. “It’s such a common word but it’s hard to think of a song where I can recount a line with my since it’s such a small word!” The video finishes with Victoria laughing and thanking Elle for having her.
Sticky is out now on iTunes and Flux! My remix with Drake and Gunna is also out now!

Tier 3
Kelly: Back once again to perform his now hit single, ‘MY MY MY!’, Shawn Mendes!
Shawn is stood in front of 3 clear hanging glass windows which are acting as lights for the stage, the same strobes pulsating through like in the music video. Shawn is wearing the exact same outfit from the video with the same wet hair look. He fins the performance by dancing with Ryan and Kelly.
Ryan: Give it up for Shawn Mendes everybody!
Shawn sits down and waves to the crowd.
Shawn: Happy to be back! Hopefully you enjoyed seeing me perform the full song rather than just an acoustic this time.
Ryan: Oh absolutely! Your voice is just as good as on the record, it would sound even better with a live band too!
Shawn: Yeah sadly they can’t come everywhere with me but definitely on some of the bigger shows! I can’t wait to get to touring once I get this album out so I can perform with them every night!
Kelly: Fans have been desperate for your album but since we last saw you they have been getting fed! The stellar music video was released a few weeks ago along with a load of merch, but now there’s a remix in the pipeline?
Shawn: It’s true! This friday I will be releasing the ‘MY MY MY!’ Official remix featuring 2 other exciting artists! Stay tuned to my socials for more news.
Kelly: A world exclusive! ‘MY MY MY! Is out now, remix coming out friday!

Victoria x Watch What Happens Live
July 30th, US paid Promo
Victoria drops by the watch what happens live show to perform her hit single sticky and to discuss career goals.
Victoria on future career goals
My biggest plans after releasing a debut album is to definitely tour the world. I know its a big dream to do a world tour for your debut era but that is my biggest goal! I love to travel and to perform for my fans so its a win win situation for everyone. It would probably be all the way in 2020 but I’m okay with anything. I also want to release collab albums with different artists to really explore my limits in music. For now though, I’m excited for the release of my mixtape which I will release the title of on July 31st when it goes up for pre-order!
*commercial break*
Andy: Now to perform her #1 hit single Sticky give it up for the amazingly talented Victoria Monet!
The performance is confined to a smaller place so this time around, Victoria is only accompanied by two dancers who also have mic stands with her. They perform cute dance numbers with the mic stand for the majority of the performance until the end of the performance where Victoria breaks through and moves forward to belt the rest of the song. However, the verses for the most part are very subdued while the chorus take on a more complex dance that can still be performed in a small space. Her dancers continue to do a dance number for this portion but it is only Victoria who breaks through for the final part of the song. She continues to belt the rest of the song before placing her mic back onto the stand. She finishes the performance by allowing the choreography.

Victoria x The Kelly Clarkson Show
US Free
Victoria drops by the Kelly Clarkson to perform her hit single sticky. The performance begins with all the dancers on the ground and one by one the dancers begin to get up. That is for Victoria who stays down for the majority of the first verse before slowly and gracefully getting up to perform the iconic sticky choreography with her dancers. One this finishes, Victoria breaks from her dancers who go to the left while she goes to the right. She does a little dance number on her own with the camera following her while she engages the right side of the stage. For the pre-chorus, Victoria slowly makes it back to the middle where her dancers are waiting to again perform the choreography for sticky. For the bridge, the dancers stand still while Victoria belts the song, this continues in the chorus except the dancers begin to move but Victoria does not join in the choreography but instead works on hitting every note. The performance ends and Victoria thanks the audience for having her and reminds that that Sticky is out now on iTunes and Flux!

Camila Cabello on The Talk
July 30th | US | Tier 3
7th article for week of July 24th
- Performance:
- Host: Her debut single “She Loves Control” has been on repeat here for weeks, and now we finally get to enjoy her perform it live. Give it up for Camila Cabello!
Camila is wearing a blue crop top and a green mini skirt with her hair in a ponytail. The stage background is a green screen with the song title in bold black font. As the first verse is sung, Camila is by herself singing and walking around the stage. When the chorus comes, Camila is back in the middle of the stage as two backup dancers, one on her right and the other on her left come from each side of the stage to aid Camila’s dancing. They perform an intense routine as Camila lets the backing track play. When the second chorus comes, Camila is acting very sensual. Camila and the dancers segway into the instrumental part of the song and perform hip-hop-influenced dancing. The crowd is going nuts for their dancing. The chorus returns for a final time, and Camila sings as if rent is due the next minute. The performance ends and one of the hosts comes to join Camila on stage
Host: Superb! Just amazing! But don’t go anywhere, when we return we’ll be chatting with Camila Cabello!
- Interview:
- Host: Welcome back to The Talk. She just graced us with a wonderful performance, and now she’s back to chat. Please welcome, Camila Cabello!
Camila walks out to “She Loves Control” playing and greets all of the hosts.
Host: Welcome to our show Camila!
Camila: So happy to be here! I watch you guys almost daily!
Host: Oh really?
Camila: Yes, my mom is a huge fan! This show is like the only place she gets her news from! (laughs)
Host: I hope that’s a good thing! (laughs) Speaking of your mom, how does she feel having a superstar as a daughter?
Camila: You wouldn’t think she did! (laughs) But it’s good like that. Her humbleness is what is keeping me humble. No matter how successful I am, she always treats me the same. As her daughter. I have to follow her rules and all.
Host: And do you follow them?
Camila: Of course! I have a Latina mom. There’s no other choice! (laughs)
Host: What does she think about your performances and videos. I mean, respectfully pop stars have to dress a certain way, act a certain way in performances and videos… if you know what I mean.
Camila: Oh, I get it. Well, she’s fine with it, which I’m so thankful for. She knows what type of person I truly am, and knows what things are just expected to be a singer. So if she sees me kissing a hot guy in a music video, she knows it’s just me doing my job. Now that doesn’t mean I feel comfortable with her seeing me do that! (laughs)
Host: You don’t?
Camila: God no! That’s my mom! I don’t want her to see those types of things from me. But hey, it’s inevitable.
Host: Exactly. So let’s talk about your music. “She Loves Control” is absolutely addicting. Did you write it to be such an earworm?
Camila: Well, thank you. But I mean, I do really value a nice catchy chorus while writing, but I definitely don’t write with the goal of my songs being as catchy as possible to become a hit. If it happens it happens. If it doesn’t it doesn’t.
Host: Well, in any case. The song is a hit. It actually just reached number one across the pond in the UK.
Camila: It did?
Host: Yes! How did you not know!
Camila: (laughs) Charts aren’t really my priority. They’re actually pretty confusing! In any case, wow I am so happy! Going number one anywhere is a big deal, especially in a big country like the UK. I’m just so happy everyone is enjoying the song!
Host: As they should! Oop, that seems to be all the time we have. It was lovely talking to you Camila.
Camila: Loved every second!
Host: Make sure you buy and stream Camila Cabello’s single “She Loves Control” on iTunes and Flux. Let’s give her one more final round of applause!

Camila Cabello’s “She Loves Control” Goes Viral on TikTok
July 30th | US | Free Promo
8th article for week of July 24th
Another day, another new Tik Tok trend.
Tik Tok, the novelty Chinese social media app, is notorious for creating hit songs. The app has proven social media to be one of the most valuable assets for a musician. Simple user-uploaded 15-second video of them dancing to a song has turned countless tunes into some of the biggest songs of 2020. And now, Camila Cabello’s “She Loves Control” is getting that treatment.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Tik Tok’s biggest creator, Charli D'Amelio uploaded a video of her dancing to the bridge of “She Loves Control” to her 75 million followers. Charli’s video quickly reached 7 million likes, and the sound of “She Loves Control” began trending on the app.
Within 3 days, over 2 million videos have been posted of Tik Tok users doing Charli’s dance to “She Loves Control”, with several videos passing 1 million likes. Fellow Tik Tok superstars such as Addison Rae (53 million followers) and Avani (23 million followers) joined in on the trend.
The impact of the Tik Tok dance trend led to “She Loves Control” trending on both US iTunes and Flux Streaming.
With no sign of “She Loves Control”’s Tik Tok dance slowing down being seen, industry sources are expecting a big rise in the song’s sales and streams.
Camila Cabello’s stardom as a solo artist might just end up being the result of a 16-year-old kid.

- open me bitch!:
- On his newest hit single, "Nonstop"
It is my newest song, the first one I have released since 2015. That is crazy, isn't it? But yeah, it is the first song off my upcoming album, one that almost did not make the cut but then everybody who heard the demo urged me to finish it and put it on the record. And honestly, I am glad I ended up doing so because this song has grown to become one of my most special singles yet. It might not be the deepest or more impactful song of mine, but for some reason, it feels like the introduction to a new chapter in my life and career. And to see it do as well as it is doing in terms of numbers, it is just mind blowing. I am very thankful for the support the song is getting.
On the music video for "Nonstop"
It is coming real, real soon. More details on that are coming sooner than everyone expects. But yeah, it is going to be great, one of my best visuals so far for sure.
On partnering with NIKE
Our first advertisement is rolling out today which is insane! I still have not caught it on TV but I have been told it is already being played everywhere. I am so honored to be a part of their newest campaign and for the chance to work with them. NIKE is such a huge and iconic brand, I feel nothing but thankful that they considered me to be their new face.

(WW) NIKE X DRAKE ADVERTISEMENT #1
1/1
- Visuals & Aesthetic:
- open me bitch!:
- As the advertisement begins, the beat to "Nonstop" starts playing. The first thing we see is an empty white room, and after a few seconds the shot cuts to one of Drake in the same room, wearing a dark blue NIKE tracksuit. He walks from the back to the front of the room, getting closer to the camera as he looks aside, puts his hands into the pockets in his pants, and runs a hand across his head. This set is shown for a few seconds, and then the camera cuts to the second set. For the second shot, we see an empty room with a black, squared ceiling, and with black walls and flooring as well, and Drake in it wearing a black NIKE tracksuit. As the instrumental beat to the song plays, Drake walks around the two sets, posing for the camera, busting a move every now and then. The camera focuses on different angles, some of them tilted and some of them showing the frontal view of the set that was displayed at the beginning of the advertisement. With a few close-ups, we can see Drake is sporting the latest version of the Air Force Ones in their full white variant. He is also wearing a thick gold chain with the OVO Sound logo, its characteristic owl, hanging from the bottom of it. As the ad is about to finish, "NIKE x DRAKE" and "2020" are displayed onto the screen and overlaying the video in big bold golden letters. After said messages, and for the final shot of the advertisement, the camera cuts to a close-up of Drake who stares right into the camera just in time to sing the iconic line from his song "Nonstop", in its clean version: "this a rollie' not a stopwatch, it don't ever stop". Right after which the video cuts to black.

Interview + Performance on The Jimmy Kimmel Show (US)
July 31st, 2020
Tier 2
(My My My! Original)
Jimmy: Our guest tonight bagged himself the song of the summer with his hit ‘MY MY MY!’, here to chat to us now please welcome Shawn Mendes!
My My My plays as Shawn walks on, he’s wearing a sleeveless denim shirt and black jeans. He waves to the crowd before sitting down.
Shawn: So great to meet you thanks for having me!
Jimmy: You’re welcome! Now as if your song isn’t played enough everywhere, you just released a remix for it today right?
Shawn: Yeah Hailee Steinfeld, who you all know and love since she’s like the biggest female pop artist since Madonna if we’re honest, sang on it with me and G-Eazy did a verse too.
Jimmy: How was it collaborating with those two artists? They’re pretty different.
Shawn: I’ve worked with Hailee before and our roots are in pop so it’s a breeze working with her, I think our voices compliment each other well! But I was nervous to hear G-Eazy’s verse when he sent it over since the song doesn’t necessarily lend itself to rap, but he made it work so well! He’s great with his pop features.
Jimmy: Will the remix receive a music video?
Shawn: I don’t think so, no. It would be fun but I think the original music video is good enough on it’s own *laughs* Have you seen it?
Jimmy: Who hasn’t seen it! Almost 100 million views and it’s only been out like two weeks? That’s crazy.
Shawn: The support is overwhelming! I can’t thank everyone enough.
…
Jimmy: Back to perform ‘MY MY MY!’, give it up for Shawn Mendes!
The thumping bass kicks in as the stage lights up to reveal Shawn and his band. The stage is bright white and a pink rectangle is projected over Shawn's eyes to replicate the single cover artwork. Before the bridge hits the stage goes dark and Shawn grabs an electric guitar from behind him and shows off his guitar skills, adding a riff before the final chorus crashes in. He belts out the final chorus before thanking the crowd.

Interview + Performance on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (US)
August 1st, 2020
Free
Host: Our guest tonight has achieved huge chart success with his debut single ‘MY MY MY!’. Reaching the top 2 on the charts, achieving over 600 million streams and selling over 5 million units worldwide so far, he is not only one of the stars of tomorrow but the star of today. Give a huge welcome to Shawn Mendes!
Shawn: Hi thanks for having me!
Host: How does it feel when you have all those achievements listed out like that? It’s remarkable success for a brand new artist!
Shawn: It is so crazy and a huge compliment. For me when I’m creating my music I don’t really think about how many people are gonna hear it or who is gonna hear it, so then for it to be received like that is surreal. I think its especially rewarding with this song since it’s not only my debut single but it was created with people that I love and call my friends, I also wrote it during a great time in my life so it’s like a little time capsule back to that time for me.
Host: It definitely has that summery nostalgic feel, will there be any more of this vibe on the album?
Shawn: I hope so. I definitely tried to encapsulate that feeling in a lot of the tracks so I hope that ends up translating.
Host: Talk us through the music video! It’s very different from what a lot of people expected.
Shawn: That was the intention! The song sounds very bright and poppy but I wanted the music video to contrast from that. The concept is that I’m basically lost in this dark warehouse, kind of like I was in life before this relationship came into it, and I’m trying to chase and find the light to help me get out of there. I finally reach it at the end and that kind of signifies the start of the relationship I’m singing about.
…
Host: Now performing his hit for us, Shawn Mendes!
Shawn is stood alone on stage with his guitar, a smoke machine filling the floor. He plays the bass line whilst singing the verses. As the chorus hits he asks the audience to clap along and the lights begin to flash in time to the music. He finishes the performance as fireworks come from the edge of the stage, he thanks the crowd.
