Sonora.ID - Berikut ini lirik lagu 'WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DYING FOR?' milik Shawn Mendes yang baru saja dirilis pada 9 Juni 2023.

Melansir Genius, seni sampul single ini disertakan dalam pengumuman single pada 8 Juni 2023 sekitar 3 jam sebelum perilisannya, dan itu menggambarkan foto asli lanskap Kota New York, yang sepenuhnya diselimuti oleh kabut asap oranye.

Asap ini berasal dari Kanada, negara asal penyanyi itu, di mana kebakaran hutan besar-besaran telah menghancurkan jutaan hektar hutan.

Peristiwa ini secara drastis mencemari seluruh udara Kota New York, akibatnya menjadi ancaman bagi semua warganya.

Lagu itu ditulis dan direkam oleh Mendes dan teman-temannya pada hari sebelum perilisannya, saat mereka tinggal di New York City, dan karena itu terkena peristiwa berbahaya ini.

Lirik:

[Verse 1]

Smoke in the air, the city's burnin' down

I wanna speak, but I don't make a sound

Locked in my mind, you're all I think about (Mm)

I wanna save us, but I don't know how

[Chorus]

If we don't love like we used to

If we don't care like we used to

What the hell are we dying for?

If it doesn't cut like it used to

If you're not mine and I'm not yours

What the hell are we dying for?

[Verse 2]

I see it in the news, I see it in your eyes, ooh

I try to let you go, then I choke, I change my mind

(Change my mind, ooh)

Let's face thе truth, I'm terrified (Ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

If we don't lovе like we used to

If we don't care like we used to

What the hell are we dying for?

If it doesn't cut like it used to

If you're not mine and I'm not yours

What the hell are we dying for?

[Bridge]

Livin' without you

Is not livin' at all

[Chorus]

If we don't love like we used to

And we don't care like we used to

What the hell are we dying for?

If it doesn't cut like it used to (Doesn't cut)

If you're not mine and I'm not yours (I'm not yours)

What the hell are we dying for?

[Outro]

Livin' without you

Is not livin' at all

Livin' without you (Baby)

Is not livin' at all

So what the hell are we dying for?
