On August 20, Shawn Mendes and Tainy released their latest song, “Summer of Love.” After teasing the music world over the past week with video sneak peeks and a gorgeous picture of Shawn gazing into the camera with passion, fans were more than ready to see what the artists had in store.

The music video aesthetically begins with Shawn driving a crimson-red, classic car as fun flashbacks appear on the screen. The clips showcase multiple moments of relaxation on a beach, swimming by cliffs, exploring an intricate city, and so much more.

“We were in a daze learning each other’s shapes,” Mendes begins in a reflective pre-chorus. “Tracing shadows of rain down your back, oh / Kisses on your body, you’re my memory baby, nothing comes close.”
