Earlier this month, Shawn shared he was taking some time away to “re centre” himself.
“it’s pretty intimidating to come online and be honest and vulnerable considering how quickly our words can be twisted and used against us but tbh i really just care about having a real relationship with you guys,” he wrote. “where i got you and you got me and all the rest is just noise”
“i’m just gunna take a few to re centre myself and then we can come back and talk about all of the beautiful stuff???? cuz there is so much of that,” Shawn added on Twitter/X. “The bigger picture truth is that there is an overwhelming amount of love coming from you guys about this new music and just generally to me and i am not blind to that. i love you guys so much ????????”
The album delay comes just a few weeks after Shawn released the third song from the album, “Nobody Knows.”
