We do not know about you, but we are obsessed with the new song of Shawn Mendes "If I Can not Have You".

However, she almost went to another artist – Dua Lipa !

Discussing with Zane Lowe about Beats 1 about the track, he revealed that it was written long ago with Scott Harris .

"We wrote a ton of songs. Back at the studio with Teddy Geiger and Nate, I was playing piano and I thought it was really my God, it would be really cool for Dua Lipa, "recalls Shawn . "It was on the guitar and I turned on the piano, it's just after the release of 'One Kiss'. In the voice note – I'm talking like I'm going to send to Dua I'm like that "agree Dua I've got this song I just have a chorus we can finish it if you want" and I'm sing on the piano and i'm ok cool, i'll send it to him. "

He goes on:" A few weeks later, I'm in the studio with Scott playing again and I'm going, man, it's really serious. I do not know if I can ask Dua to sing it – even if it would have been incredible – I said I had to go all the way with it. "

Shawn continued on the track he eventually became his own:" It's a confident pop record and it's clearly for me, I'm going through this phase now, where I'm testing every possible style

"The pop is in my blood, no punts.In the last 6 months, I wrote about 45 songs.They are ubiquitous and have a different atmosphere.It's the one that has always every time I played for myself and my friends and family gave people a smile. "
