The wait is over. After months of anticipation, Shawn Mendes is ready to kick off a new era. The 'There's Nothing Holding Me Back' hitmaker has spent the past year working hard in the studio perfecting his new music and now he's finally ready to share it with us.

The superstar has just released his new single 'In My Blood' and it is everything that you hoped it would be and more.

'WATCH SHAWN'S AMAZING 'THERE'S NOTHING HOLDING ME BACK' VIDEO HERE...'

MENDES ARMY ASSEMBLE. YOU CAN LISTEN TO AN AMAZING NEW SHAWN SONG RIGHT THIS MINUTE.

The song itself is a rousing ballad about overcoming demons and it is easily Shawn's most personal release to date. From the intimate verses to the epic chorus, we can't think of anything negative to say about this single. It is one of Shawn's best and a triumph.

Seriously, we can't take it off of repeat. We love Shawn as an artist so much and we're so excited that he's back.

Opening up about the song on Twitter, the 'Mercy singer wrote:"Just wanted to write this note before the song comes out tonight and say how excited I am for you all to hear it. I know I've been pretty quiet during this album process, and I just wanted to thank you with all of my heart for being there and supporting me the entire time."

He then added: "This song is the closest song to my heart that I've ever written, and I hope you guys love it, and all the new music coming your way."

What a man. Not only do we love it but the world does too. It's already topping iTunes charts worldwide.

Shawn is due to release another single from his new LP tomorrow.

If it's anywhere near as good as 'In My Blood', we're in for a treat.
