JAKARTA - Shawn Mendes opened up about his sexual orientation while performing on stage. He recently held a concert in Colorado, United States.

Before performing the song The Mountain, Mendes took time to talk about his sexual orientation which had become a topic of conversation. Quoting Variety, the song The Mountain is speculated as a form of Mendes' question about his sexual relationship.

"Since I was young, there have been things about my sexuality and people have talked about it for a long time," said Shawn Mendes.

"And I think it feels funny because sexuality is a complex thing and it's hard to put aside that," he continued.

Camila Cabello's ex-lover feels speculation about her sexuality is something that disturbs her as a human. He himself feels he is still looking for his identity to this day.

"I feel like there is a personal disturbance to me, something I'm looking for, something I have to look for and I'm still looking for. Writing a song (The Mountain) feels very important to me because it feels like a moment where I have to talk about it," said Mendes.

The truth about my life and my sexuality is, I'm also looking for it like everyone else and sometimes I don't know. It feels scared because we live in an environment that talks a lot about it and I try to dare to be human, "he said.

Shawn Mendes once talked about his sexuality in 2016 which he denied was gay.

First, I'm not gay. Second, it doesn't matter whether I'm gay or not. The focus should be on music and not on my sexuality," said Shawn Mendes.
