Shawn Mendes & Tainy's "Summer Of Love" Lyrics Will Make You Sweat
Summer may be over, but this song still slaps.
A month after dropping a bilingual remix of “KESI” with the Colombian singer Camilo, Shawn Mendes teamed up with the Puerto Rican record producer Tainy on “Summer Of Love.” The track, which arrived on Friday, Aug. 20, is set to be featured on Mendes’ upcoming fifth studio album. To go along with the release, the “Wonder” singer shared a dreamy music video for the song that sees him enjoying a carefree summer in Spain. If the single has been stuck in your head, check out Shawn Mendes and Tainy's "Summer Of Love" lyrics below. Spoiler alert: It may include a “Señorita” reference.
From “Life of the Party” and “Treat You Better” to “Mercy” and “Señorita,” Mendes’ summer songs never fail to deliver. Now, fans have two more singles to add to that list. “KESI,” which dropped on Wednesday, July 14, marked Mendes’ first new music in 2021 and his first time singing in Spanish on a track. Weeks later, he returned with a collaboration with Tainy called “Summer Of Love.”
In a statement (via Just Jared Jr.), Mendes said the song was inspired by his real-life experiences. “I hope this song makes people feel free, free from the weight of life, even if just for a moment,” he explained. “The inspiration was getting a few months off to have a real summer with the people I love. My favorite part about creating it was getting the opportunity to work in the studio with Tainy. It was a special experience connecting with him since he’s such an incredible artist and amazing producer.”
Watch Mendes and Tainy’s “Summer Of Love” music video below.
Mendes begins the song by recounting a romantic night. “Kisses on your body were like heaven / We were taking it slow,” he opens the track. “Tangled in the sheets until the evening / There was nowhere to go.” Then, in the chorus, he calls his summer a “delicate daydream.” If you were wondering if Mendes’ girlfriend Camila Cabello was his muse for this track, the second verse may offer a clue. The line, “Calling you my señorita / Didn't know how much I need ya,” echoes a lyric in Mendes and Cabello’s “Señorita” collab that goes, “I love it when you call me señorita / I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya.”

Staying up until the sunrise
Praying it won't be the last time
