He said: “I definitely do, like Camila [Cabello] and Shawn. Me and Shawn Mendes will send songs back and forth and play it. Like if we’re in LA at the same time and we’re in the car and we’re going somewhere, we just like throw it on, one of his or one of mine.

The Irish singer, who has recently been romantically linked to Selena Gomez, admitted then hitmakers always give their honest opinion, saying: “Yeah that’s what you want.
