Shawn Mendes just posted a new song and then deleted it

Shawn Mendes well and truly teased his fans earlier this week when he posted a snippet of a BRAND NEW song to his Snapchat account, before deleting any sign of it off the Internet.

As Shawn is currently on a bit of a break from his rigorous tour schedule, it appears he's working on the highly anticipated SM3 album fans are eagerly waiting to hear.

The 'Mercy' singer uploaded a short clip of new track for his mighty fan base and could be heard singing the lyrics, "Where were you in the morning baby? You didn't leave your number for me? Left me without a warning baby"

Take a listen, since Shawn went ahead and deleted it on us! (Shoutout to those fans who saved the vid and uploaded it to Twitter for all of us!)

😍😍😍

Of course Shawn's fans were ecstatic after hearing the snippet and sent the singer a number of messages on Twitter asking him to release the full song.

This track might be a preview of the vibe of his next album but according to the man himself, Shawn hasn't gotten around to writing it yet, as he told a fan on Twitter.

Although Shawn is currently having a break from his mammoth tour schedule, the 19-year-old has been extremely busy taking his 'Illuminate World Tour' around the world.

He even got his friend Ed Sheeran to help him out at a recent date in America!

The Canadian singer was playing a sold out headline show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center when he brought out Ed for a rendition of his hit ‘Mercy’. Ed sang the second verse of the track to an ecstatic crowd.

Afterwards, Shawn, who has long idolised Ed, told the crowd “That was just as crazy for me as it was for you guys.”

Hopefully we hear some more new music from Shawn very soon! 😍
