Reflecting on how it has affected him over the years, the pop star expressed that understanding his own sexuality has been a process.
As seen in a clip shared on TikTok, the singer said, “The real truth about my life and my sexuality is, man, I’m just figuring it out like everyone. I don’t really know sometimes and I know other times. It feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about that. I’m trying to be really brave and just allow myself to just be human and feel things. That’s all I wanna say about that for now.”
Addressing these pressures in his song “The Mountain” was a way for Mendes to process the confusion and discomfort, channeling the experience into his music. He emphasized, “Writing this song felt really important to me. It felt like a moment where I could address it in a way that felt close to my heart.
