Speaking with Paper magazine, the “Mercy” singer is ready for the next step in his career. But what might that actually be?

“It can never end, you know what I mean?” Shawn muses. “The dream is just to go bigger and better, bigger and better, bigger and better and when you think you’re at your biggest and your best, you’re not so that’s kind of the beauty of things — not just music but of anything.”

He adds, “There’s no peak and that’s really cool.”

Shawn also opened up about the pressure to be better and get better all the time.
