Mendes talked about working on the song during an interview with grammy.comwhere he expressed that he wrote the track with the intention that each listener will interpret it differently.
“I want people to think about what [When You’re Gone] it means, and think about how it affects them and how it relates to them,’ he said.
The performer went on to state that he was constantly trying to improve as a songwriter and that his boost as an artist came in part from the positive reception of one of his popular singles, In My Blood.
‘every song [I’ve written] after that, rule number one is, this has to be true. This has to be real. This has to be authentic,” he said.
