Back before Mendes hit the big time, he was just a teenage Vine star doing normal teen things like going to prom. Fans have long speculated that his prom date, classmate Lauren Arendse, is the former girlfriend Mendes once off-handedly mentioned in a 2017 Twitter Q&A. "I actually had a girlfriend for two years and so I wrote songs about her. But I write a lot of songs about love that I may not understand exactly, but I do think I have a good almost understanding of it," he said.
