Shawn Mendes wears his heart on his sleeve in his latest single, the sentimental “When You’re Gone.”
The track, which debuts in the top 40 of this week’s Billboard Hot 100, at No. 38, seemingly addresses his breakup from fellow pop star Camila Cabello. In an Instagram video posted ahead of the song’s release, Mendes addressed how he felt alone following the split. “Who do I call when I’m in a panic attack?” he asks in the clip. “Who do I call when I’m, like, f—ing on the edge? That’s the reality that kind of hit me: ‘Oh, I’m on my own now.’”
Below, find all the lyrics for “When You’re Gone.”
You never know how good you have it, oh-oh
Until you’re staring at a picture of the only girl that matters, ah
I know what we’re supposed to do
It’s hard for me to let go of you
So I’m just tryna hold on
Hold on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone
I don’t wanna move on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone for good
You’re slipping through my fingertips
A little bit by a little bit
I didn’t know that loving you was the happiest I’ve ever been
So I’m just tryna hold on
I need to learn how to cope without you
I’m tryna protect myself but only you know how to, yeah
Oh, I know what we’re supposed to do
Oh, but I hate the thought of losing you
So, I’m just tryna hold on
Hold on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone
I don’t wanna move on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone for good
You’re slipping through my fingertips
A little bit by a little bit
I didn’t know that loving you was the happiest I’ve ever been
So I’m just tryna hold on
Starting to feel like you don’t need me
Wanna believe it’s all for the better
It’s getting real, I’m missing you deeply
So I’m just tryna hold on
Starting to feel like you don’t need me
Wanna believe it’s all for the better
It’s getting real, I’m missing you deeply
So I’m just tryna hold on
Hold on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone
I don’t wanna move on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone for good
You’re slipping through my fingertips
A little bit by a little bit
I didn’t know that loving you was the happiest (oh) I’ve ever been
So I’m just tryna hold on
(I’m just tryna hold on)

A consortium of investors led by veteran radio industry executive Jeff Warshaw has made an unsolicited $1.2 billion bid to buy Cumulus Media, the radio network that owns and operates 406 radio stations, the Westwood One syndication operation and a digital radio platform.
According to press reports, Warshaw’s consortium is willing to pay $15-$17 a share for Cumulus and may go even higher if due diligence of the company’s financials justifies an increased valuation. Besides Warshaw, the other members of the investor consortium haven’t been disclosed. The news was first reported by Reuters.
Warshaw is the founder and CEO of Connoisseur Media, which owns and operates 13 radio stations that broadcast in Connecticut, Maryland and Long Island, according to the company’s website. In 2020, he also launched a SPAC — a blank check corporation dubbed Virtuoso Acquisition Corp. that acquired a minority stake in Wejo, a Manchester, U.K.-based company described as a connected car company in press reports.
Cumulus, which is currently led by president and CEO Mary Berner, has issued a statement saying it’s reviewing the offer. The company’s annual meeting is scheduled for May and its current board of directors is up for renewal, with the company urging that they all be voted in again, according to its proxy statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cumulus shares closed on April 14 at $14.21 on news of the bid, up 39.9% from the previous day’s close of $10.16, according to Yahoo! Finance. Since then, NASDAQ has apparently halted trading in the stock due to its volatility.
With 20,625,542 shares of Cumulus common stock outstanding, the April 14 closing price gives the company a market capitalization of $293.1 million, an increase in valuation of $84 million from the prior day’s market capitalization of $209.1 million. The other $900 million from the $1.2 billion offer would likely be used to retire existing debt — a $353.84 million term loan and $445.1 million in debentures, as of Dec. 31, 2021, according to Cumulus’ 10-K filing with the SEC.
In 2021, Cumulus Media reported $17.3 million in net income, or 83 cents per diluted share, on revenues of $916.5 million. That represented a turnaround from a prior-year loss of $59.7 million, while revenues increased 12.2% from $816.2 million.
Sometimes, there comes a point in a relationship where you have to acknowledge: It’s no longer the same as it was.
In Harry Styles‘ blockbuster new single “As It Was” — which flew straight to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the singer/songwriter seems to be reflecting on himself and on a partnership that has evolved beyond its early stages.
Before Styles hits the stage Friday night (April 15) on day 1 of Coachella for his very first gig at the Indio, Calif., festival, take a closer look at the lyrics for the lead single from his upcoming Harry’s House album, arriving May 20.
(Come on, Harry, we wanna say goodnight to you)
Holdin’ me back
Gravity’s holdin’ me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don’t we leave it at that?
Nothin’ to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I’m the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh
In this world, it’s just us
You know it’s not the same as it was
In this world, it’s just us
You know it’s not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it’s not the same
Answer the phone
“Harry, you’re no good alone
Why are you sitting at home on the floor?
What kind of pills are you on?”
Ringin’ the bell
And nobody’s coming to help
Your daddy lives by himself
He just wants to know that you’re well, oh-oh-oh
In this world, it’s just us
You know it’s not the same as it was
In this world, it’s just us
You know it’s not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it’s not the same
Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet
I don’t wanna talk about the way that it was
Leave America, two kids follow her
I don’t wanna talk about who’s doin’ it first
(Hey)
As it was
You know it’s not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
