Confirming that he’s unattached rn, Shawn said: "I'm not currently dating anyone, but it's not because I don't have time—I don't know if I'd be dating anyone if I was home in Pickering, either. It hasn't stumbled across me, and I'm not chasing it.

“Of course, seeing all those other artists and people in relationships, you think, 'Maybe it would be nice; who would be great for me?'" the singer continued. "And that's when you realize: 'This is wrong. Let it be. I'm not supposed to be with anyone right now.'"

And opening up about Justin Bieber and rumoured ex Hailey Baldwin’s engagement, he said: "It's great to see two amazing people get together. If you know them both separately, it does make a lot of sense. A little bit of yin and yang."

All in all, Shawn is 100% focused on his career rn: “I want to push myself to my limit of what I can handle and play as many shows and write as many songs as I can and fly around the world 10,000 times in a year, pushing myself to the point where it seems crazy," he added.
