"Stitches" hitmaker Shawn Mendes hopes to write songs for other musicians. 

Chatting to the Rolling Stone about his future plans, the heartthrob admitted that he really wants to pen tracks for other artists because he often writes material that doesn't feel right for himself and he would love to find homes for these cuts.

"When I get the time to do that, I'm going to do that. I have so many ideas that aren't right for me but could be amazing for other people."

Mendes unveiled his new album Illuminate earlier today (September 23) and added that he won't take a break from music once this era starts to wind down because he prefers to use the momentum to power through: "No. It's kind of a bad thing but a great thing. You don't really come down. You just kind of keep going. You just get better at going."
