Only hours after Avril Lavigne shared an updated version of her debut album’s cover photo, fellow Canadian singer Shawn Mendes posted a recreation of the pic on his sophomore album Illuminate.

“Back in time,” he captioned the image, which shows him sitting on a black chair and holding a guitar.

The photo was taken at the ShawnAccess experience set up at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, where Mendes performed his second show of the Wonder tour on Tuesday.
