Shawn Mendes is making plans for a long future with Camila Cabello. That’s the message he’s sending in “24 Hours,” a new love song off his fourth album, Wonder. It’s no surprise that Mendes would reference his relationship of more than a year—but he’s never been quite this candid about moving in with or marrying Cabello.
In the romantic track, Mendes sings, “All it’d take is 24 hours/Sign the check and the place is ours,” referring to the couple getting a house together. He continues, “It’s a little soon/But I wanna come to you.” The real estate limitations of living together in that time frame notwithstanding, Mendes and Cabello were friends for nearly five years before becoming a couple. In March, the couple appeared to be living together and going on infamous quarantine walks. Last month, the pair even got a dog together.
They’ve dated since the summer of 2019, starting controversy early in their relationship with high-profile PDA. Mendes addresses the criticism in “24 Hours” with the lyrics, ” Let’s throw away our back up plans/And people might not understand/Who cares about what they approve?/I’d face them all to be with you.” The track reads very much like a first dance song at a wedding, which is fitting considering Mendes alludes to marrying Cabello. “We could dance, you could throw the flowers,” he sings.
To go even more full-blown romantic, Mendes invokes another famous wedding song—Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”—with the line, “I heard that once a wise man said/’Only fools go rushing in.'” It appears Mendes and Cabello are only fools for one another.
