I agree and think the album will be pop/rock, but I do hope there will be a sprinkle of RnB. WWYITM (especially the live version) and Lost in Japan are absolute favorites of mine and I've lost count of how many times I've seen random people comment they're not particularly a fan of his music but they do really like and rate LIJ and think it's one of his best songs.

I would also like songs about other themes than love/relationships (IMB part 2?). Or at least change up the same old narrative he's used over and over again especially in his most recent songs. Even What The Hell Are We Dying For ended up beging a love/break up song framed as a song about climate crisis lol. Wouldn't mind him releasing that "Don't call me, I'm no longer yours" song he posted a snippet of on his IG though lol.

And I hope he improves lyrically. I think that was Wonder's biggest letdown. The lyrics were mostly just very superficial, cliche and repetitive. He doesn't have to be a male Taylor Swift but even compared to his previous albums Wonder on the same level. It was also too on the nose who Wonder's songs were written about (and if it wasn't, the promo he did made sure it was). A lot of his fans didn't like that relationship but even if you tried to just focus on his music there was just no escaping it. Think he's lost a lot of fans because of it (and that relationship in general but that's a whole other discussion). Hope he stays a bit more vague this time like during his previous album cycles.

Yes I think SM5 could be similar to SM3 sound-wise like with the r&b influence sprinkled in there. I could also see it go into a folk Noah Kahan or gospel direction (like the collaboration with Jacob Collier). A Stormzy collab would also be cool even though I hope there aren’t too many collabs. Also yes to the “don’t call me” song I want it! He also shared a snippet of a song where he was in the studio that was like “baby blow my mind” (?) but that’s been a while back so idk if it’ll make it. Oh and for fashion I hope Tiffany leaves the wonder aesthetic in the past I’d love a 60s Alain Delon inspired moment and a high fashion shoot

The WWYITM guitar is highly underrated but the “Yup” is appropriately celebrated.

Where Were You In The Morning

an: sorry, this is bad. It was originally longer, but I wasn’t sure where to go with it. Feel free to send asks and requests!

warnings: tiny bit of language, and very mediocre writing.

Masterlist!

“Bri, that’s her.” Shawn was in complete shock.

“What? Who?”

“Remember like, two years ago when I told you about that girl I met? And we-“

“The one you wrote where were you in the morning about? Yeah.”

“That’s her.” Shawn widened his eyes in urgency, pointing to you from across the arcade. You were with who Shawn assumed were your friends, not that he’d know. You had a huge smile on your face while you were sipping your drink though a straw, presumably waiting for a bowling lane to clear up just as Shawn and Brian were.

It was crowded, but most of the people here were either too young to care who Shawn was, too interested in having fun with their friends, or old enough not to care about a 21 year old pop star. He had only been recognized a couple times so far.

“Shawn, how can you even tell? That was two years ago and you only knew her for one day.”

“Trust me. I know.”

Shawn thought back to the night you met. It was one of the greatest nights he had ever had. He was definitely not one to sleep with someone on the first date, let alone the day they met, but you were different. He immediately felt this connection with you. He thought you were absolutely stunning, and after talking with you for just a couple hours, he knew he wanted to get to know you better. He wanted to spend days on end just talking to you. That’s why out of nowhere he asked if you wanted to come back to his place for a drink. Well, one drink turned into more than either of you could count, and that turned into a lot more than talking.

Luckily, it wasn’t enough to leave Shawn clueless. He knew what he was doing, and he loved it. You were absolutely mind blowing, and to his surprise, when it was over, you wanted to stay. He was sure he didn’t imagine hearing your voice that night, asking to cuddle with him. He was sure he didn’t imagine hearing you praise him for the amazing time you just had. But if he hadn’t imagined it, then why did you leave him the next morning?

He had always wondered why you left without a trace. He went from blaming himself for inevitably doing something wrong, to blaming you for being so heartless. He knew neither were true, but he still had no idea why you left. Maybe now he’d be able to find out.

“Then go talk to her.” Brian’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

“No. She probably doesn’t even remember me.”

“If that really is her, I’m sure there’s no way she doesn’t remember. Go talk to her.”

Before Shawn could respond, he was caught. He noticed your eyes widen when you noticed his gaze.

“Shit.” Shawn mumbled to Brian before giving you an awkward smile. He was surprised when you started walking over after telling something to your friends.

“Brian, what do I do?” Shawn questioned worriedly, patting down his shirt.

“I don’t know, man! You’re the one that fucked her!”

Pretty soon after, you were standing right there in front of Shawn for the first time in two years.

“Hi...” you spoke awkwardly.

“Hey, Y/n.”

“You remember?” You asked, making small talk.

“Of course I remember.” Shawn chuckled sadly.

“So, didn’t think to tell me you’re a famous singer?”

“It didn’t come up.” He countered.

You looked at him accusingly, and he knew he should’ve said something. He just wanted to feel normal for a night.

“Is that why you left?”

You didn’t answer. “Did you write that song about me?”

“You didn’t answer my question.”

“You didn’t answer mine.”

Shawn didn’t notice Brian had gone to get them both new drinks until the awkward silence that developed between the two of you.

“Answer this one.” Shawn spoke. “When we met... when I invited you back to my house, did you know it was going to be a one night stand? Was that your intention?”

“No.” You spoke calmly and truthfully.

“Then why’d you leave? Why didn’t you at least leave a note?”

“I uh, something important came up. I had to leave.” There were a lot of reasons, and you didn’t realize until after you were already gone that you had made a mistake.

"That doesn’t answer either of my questions.” He looked so upset, and you didn’t realize it had affected him this much. “Look, can we go outside? It’s loud in here.”

You nodded and walked towards the door, Shawn following with his hand on your back as if he expected you to run away.

“So, what was it?” He asked when the two of you were outside. He crossed his arms, and you couldn’t help but notice through the way his tee shirt stretched that he had gotten even bigger since the night you met.

“A lot of things.”

“Okay, what things?”

“Well, for one, I noticed how nice your apartment was.” You felt bad for mentioning it, but compared to your one bedroom, broom closet, shit-hole of an apartment, Shawn’s was like a mansion.

“What does that have to do with anything?”

You ignored his question and kept explaining. “I noticed all the guitars, the awards. That’s when I realized who you were. I put two and two together.” You spoke quickly before he could interrupt. “It scared me, and that’s the reason I didn’t leave my number. I figured to you it might’ve just been a one night stand.“

“It wasn’t. I could ne-" Shawn tried to defend, but you cut him off, not done with your explanation.

“Yeah, I realize that now. Look, I’m sorry, okay? I’m really sorry. I left because I was scared because I got so attached in just one night and my friends texted and asked if I wanted to go get breakfast with them, so I left. I figured I was doing you a favor. Then, a couple months later, I heard your song.” You couldn’t guess how Shawn was feeling at the moment. After all, you didn’t know him very well.

“I wish you said something.”

“Me too.” You chuckled. “My friends are upset that I didn’t tell them I knew Shawn Mendes.” You spoke, trying to diffuse the tension.

Luckily, Shawn laughed. “Yeah, you probably shouldn’t brag about being the girl from that song.”

“Probably not.” You responded, smiling.

“So...” Shawn trailed off.

“So.”

“Do you think I could have your number now?” He looked so nervous. As if you were ever going to walk away from Shawn Mendes without giving him anything he wanted ever again.

“Of course.”

He pulled out his phone and let you type your number in.

You handed him the phone back, giggling.

“Wait.” He spoke through soft chuckles. “Let me make sure you didn’t give me a wrong number.”

He called the number, and sure enough, your phone started ringing in your purse.

“Hello?” You answered the phone, smiling.

Shawn took a step closer to you. “Hi.”

“Whatcha doin’?”

Another step.

“I’m just thinking.”

“Thinking about what?”

Another.

“Wondering if you’ll let me kiss you.”

“Why don’t you try it and find out?”

Shawn hung up the phone before brushing a stray strand of hair behind your ear.

“You sure?” He asked. He didn’t want to overstep.

You just sighed, rolling your eyes at his timidness before pulling him into a soft kiss. He reciprocated immediately.

You weren’t sure how long it had lasted when you heard Brian’s voice.

“Hey, lane’s ready. They joining us?”

You were surprised he was offering for your whole group to tag along.

“Uh, yeah. If they want.” Shawn answered before turning back to you. His arms were still wrapped around your waist, yours clinging to his chest.

“I think they’d be very happy about that.” You smiled.

“Would you be happy about that?”

“Maybe a little.” As you answered, Shawn leaned in, his perfect smile meeting yours in another kiss.

Now that he finally found you, he was going to do everything in his power to keep you from leaving again. Luckily, you didn’t want to.

- actually, PLEASE send feedback... thanks -

Where were you in the morning?

A/N : I do not own anything. This has nothing to do with the other story I'm doing. It's about the song. I do not know if there will be a part 2. I might write the lemon between the two.

You said " I wanna get to know ya"

Why you gotta get my hope's up?

You said that you were staying over

But then I woke up to the cold air.

Shawn woke up to a warm morning sun, shining through the hotel window. Shivering from the cold sheets as he pulls the blanket over his head. The alarm rings earning a small groan from Shawn.

How could you make me believe?

That there was something between you and me, yeah

I look around and I don't see you

Where were you in the morning, baby?

He rubs the sleepiness from his eyes as gets up, knowing he can't go back to sleep. He moves to place help wake up the girl he thought was with him,but meet with nothing. His eyes widen as he turns to see she wasn't there making him a little confused.

You didn't leave your number for me

Left me without a warning, baby

Where were you in the moring, baby?

How do you, how do you just walk away?

"Maybe she went to go get breakfast," he mumbled as his eyes trailed around the room. His heart broke when he realized nothing of the women stuff was in the hotel room, but that couldn't have been right. Sighing, he knew that she left him alone in the room.

How do you, how do  just walk away?

And I thought you really felt this

When we were talking about breakfast

You made it seem like we connected.

Dread filled his body,knowing he should have expected this,but there was something different about her. Something that captivated him.

I guess I didn't expect this

How could you make me believe?

That there was something in between you and me, yeah

I look around and I don't see you.

Last night, Shawn's friends thought it would be a good idea to go to a bar in Sweden. He agreed because he wanted to have fun. He didn't expect anything to come of it since he really wasn't that type of person to look for someone.

However, his eyes meet a beautiful pair of eyes that sucked his soul. He couldn't look away from the girl until his friend, Brian hit his shoulder. Shawn makes his way to the table stealing glances at the mysterious girl.

His eyes trailed down, hoping she doesn't notice he was checking her out. She was wearing a black jumpsuit that was tight in the right areas and had a cut out showing some cleavage. He sips on his beer to gain the courage to go over there to know her name at the very least.

After a while she leaves her friends to go to the bar. He gets up and follows her, thinking about what he should say.

" What's your favorite breakfast food?"

She glanced at him with confusion in her eyes, not knowing why he wanted to know. She sees his cheeks flushed and has to stop the amused smile threatening to spread across her face.

" I would say pancakes. However, I want to know about you. It's not every day a cute guy talks to me," she said seductively smiling at him as she winks. His eyes widen slightly as he runs his tattoo hand through his chocolate brown curls.

The two would spend most of the night getting to know each other, but never did introduced themselves. Him thinking she knew who he was and vice versa...how wrong they were. Both of them didn't want the night to end and so they continued the conversation in Shawn's hotel room.

Where were you in the morning, baby?

You didn't leave your number for me

Left me without a warning, baby

I said where were you in the morning .

Yet, that was last night. She had other ideas when she woke up the next morning to him. While he slept, she got up and grabbed her things before doing the walk of shame. She debated with herself if she should stay, but decided it would be best to leave.

How do you, how do you just walk away

Where were

Where were you?

And I hope you had a good visit.

Dreadful thoughts consumed him as he wondered if he would ever see her again. He hoped that he would because he wanted her in his life. He hoped that she didn't regret the night with him.

Before sprawling into a dark void of panic thoughts, a bing from his phone grabs his attention. He knew it was time to leave Sweden because he had other places to visit for his other concerts.

'Cause I know you had a good time

And I'm looking up at the ceiling

And I keep wondering why

Where were you in the morning, baby?

Taking one last look at the room before he starts to pack. He checked his phone to see no new number. Sighing, he stares at the ceiling recalling what happened last night between the two. Finally it was time to leave

[not-a-fever-dream]

I caught on video the moment you hear me lose my shit over WWYITM. And it's hilarious and representative of my mental state last night.
