"if I can't Have You" by Shawn Mendes came out over a year ago but I STILL can't get it out of my head. I also can't stop thinking about how it has some pretty terrible messages about dating, relationships, and monogamy in it.
In this video, break down the song, uncover it's problematic messages, and offer some counter narratives. But I mean, it's still a bop and I'm still gonna listen to it!
Let's look at how this song could accidentally support toxic monogamy and toxic relationships and instead figure out what a healthy approach could be.
