Earlier this month, Shawn shared he was taking some time away to “re centre” himself.

“i’m just gunna take a few to re centre myself and then we can come back and talk about all of the beautiful stuff💛 cuz there is so much of that,” Shawn added on Twitter/X. “The bigger picture truth is that there is an overwhelming amount of love coming from you guys about this new music and just generally to me and i am not blind to that. i love you guys so much 😮‍💨”

The album delay comes just a few weeks after Shawn released the third song from the album, “ Nobody Knows .”
