Shawn Mendes Wonders ‘What the Hell Are We Dying For?’ on Surprise Single With Smoke-Shrouded Skyline Cover

Shawn Mendes Wonders ‘What the Hell Are We Dying For?’ on Surprise Single With Smoke-Shrouded Skyline Cover

Sometimes love can make your chest feel tight and your eyes run like a river. But if you’ve been outside anywhere on the East Coast this week it’s likely the acrid smoke from Canadian wildfires that is making it hard to breathe.

Shawn Mendes is definitely feeling it, because on Friday morning (June 9) the singer dropped a surprise single that seems to be inspired both by the smogpocalypse environmental disaster and a broken heart.

“Smoke in the air/ The city’s burning down,” Mendes sings in the opening lines of the midtempo track about what sounds like the end of an affair. “I wanna speak out but I don’t make a sound/ Locked in my mind/ You’re all I think about/ I wanna save us/ But I don’t know how.”

The Toronto-bred singer tweeted the origin story of the rush track on Thursday, writing, “Started writing this song yesterday morning with my friends in upstate Newyork & finished it only a few hours ago..felt so important to me to share with you guys in real time.” The tweet was accompanied by the single’s shocking cover image: the New York skyline obscured by a pea soup-thick orange haze, with the title barely observable in white amid the smoke clouds.

And while the end times vibe caused by the fires and smoke clearly affected Shawn, the song’s chorus hints at a loss that is more personal than environmental. “If we don’t love like we used to/ If we don’t care like we used to/ What the hell are we dying for?” he sings urgently over a chugging guitar riff. “If it doesn’t cut like it used to/ If you’re not mine and I’m not yours/ What the hell are we dying for?”

The singer also noted that he’s donating to the Canadian Red Cross to provide relief those impacted by the more than 400 wildfires affecting nine provinces and two territories up north.

Back in February, Mendes talked about why he postponed, then cancelled a planned 2022 North American/European tour to focus on his mental health.

See the cover image and Mendes’ message below.

This tabletop sleep device and sunrise alarm clock aims to help you put your phone away before bed

This tabletop sleep device and sunrise alarm clock aims to help you put your phone away before bed

"Relaxing" isn't a word anyone is likely to associate with CES. If anything, it is the antithesis of CES, an exhausting and wildly overstimulating marathon event that takes place in the already exhausting and wildly overstimulating Las Vegas. But a demo of Ambient's bedside device, Dreamie, ahead of its appearance at CES-adjacent Pepcom had me properly lulled and ready to go right back to bed. Dreamie is a smart sunrise alarm clock and nighttime wind-down device that has a built-in podcast player, a catalog of green, pink and brown noise sound masks, guided breathing programs, contactless motion sensors to provide insights into your sleep habits, dynamic lighting with simulated sunrise wake-ups and Bluetooth connectivity for headphones.

But most importantly for anyone trying to avoid using their phone immediately before bed, it's a standalone system in which all controls, features and scheduling options as well as data storage are on-device. And there's no subscription.

Dell revives its XPS laptops after a boneheaded rebranding

Dell revives its XPS laptops after a boneheaded rebranding

Last year, Dell killed off all of its PC brands, including the iconic XPS lineup, and replaced them with a simplified naming scheme. It was a move meant to make it easier for people to discern between the company's many brands, but in reality, it just just made the company's lineup even more confusing. We called it an unforced error at the time, but after seeing how much Dell's PC market share fell over 2025, it's fair to say that rebranding was an absolute marketing disaster.

So, with its tail between its legs, Dell has returned to CES some welcome news for its fans: XPS lives! And the company plans to double-down on the brand in ways it never did before. Today, Dell revealed the new XPS 14 and 16 notebooks, which feature a more practical design than the previous models. There's a new function row with traditional keys, instead of the odd capacitive buttons that disappeared in sunlight. And while the company is sticking with its "invisible" trackpad, which sits flush alongside the wrist rest, there's now a light border around the edges that lets you feel exactly where the trackpad begins and ends.
