In a statement, Mendes said, "I hope this song makes people feel free, free from the weight of life, even if just for a moment." "It was the summer of love. A delicate daydream.

"Time was kind of stopped and it really just felt like we were kids again, you know? And we were able to just find ourselves and it was a beautiful kind of time. And that's what I wrote the song about," said Mendes. 'Summer of Love' was produced by Tainy, a Puerto Rican record producer who worked with Mendes on his recent single 'KESI (Remix)'.
