Shawn Mendes’ Dog Directs Debut Video

Mendes’ surprise deluxe album features a holiday treat.

Shawn Mendes has had quite the rollout for his latest album, “Wonder,” from a Netflix documentary to a virtual benefit concert. Now, he’s surprise-released a special, deluxe edition of the album. The new tracklist includes a cover of “The Christmas Song” with his girlfriend Camila Cabello, Mendes’ rendition of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” an acoustic version of “Wonder” and a Surf Mesa Remix, as well as six live performances from Wonder: The Experience.

Last Saturday, Mendes also released a video for “The Christmas Song,” which he shot himself from his and Cabello’s home. The video was directed by the duo’s adorable dog, Tarzan. For every 10 million streams of the song between Dec. 5 and 31, $10k will be donated to Feeding American through The Shawn Mendes Foundation.

In the sweet video, the couple can be seen recording the track at a home studio setup, having socially distanced get-togethers with friends around an open fire, and gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes. It isn’t the first time they’ve collaborated either. In 2015, Mendes and Cabello released “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” and followed the track up in 2018 with the smash hit “Senorita.” This song, however, is certainly their most homey to date.
