Khalid and Shawn Mendes have teamed up on their beautiful poignant new track Youth.
The pair have collaborated for an incredible new tune all about the bombings that took place in the UK last summer.
As we approach the first anniversary of the attack on the Manchester Arena during an Ariana Grande concert, Youth hears them defiantly assert: You cant take my youth away.
They sing: You cant take my youth away/This soul of mine will never break/As long as I wake up today/You cant take my youth away.
And they poignantly say: I wont let it turn into hate, I wont let it change me.
The song will feature on Shawns upcoming self-titled album, out 25 May.
No doubt well be hearing this banger at the Summertime Ball, which has had Shawn added to the lineup for 9 June.

Ive known Khalid for about maybe a little over a year now. We just immediately hit it off. Its just a really, really awesome friendship—like, talking all the time, he said. When things first really started happening for him, we were always like, Weve gotta get together! Weve gotta make music!”
