"I don't think we've been close for the past few years, but we really know each other," said Shawn Mendes.

He admitted that he had tried to maintain the friendship but in the end they returned to being foreign even though they had been good friends.

We spend time together, we really know each other's hearts. Even when noise happens, we can see each other. And it feels good to have something like that," said Mendes again.

He (Camila Cabello) is very disciplined. He will be very angry with me for not eating a cheese burger. And that's fun. I needed that in the period of time in my life," he recalled.

Previously, Shawn Mendes admitted that he was still looking for his sexuality after the song allegedly talked about himself liking the same sex.

"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.
