"You first get on the stage and ego comes rushing in and it goes, 'Don't mess up,'" confides Shawn Mendes in the trailer, above, for Shawn Mendes: In Wonder. "And then about 30 seconds in you go, 'Oh yeah, I'm just a guy, and I love music.'"

The inherent contradiction between being a normal guy and a global superstar seems to be the primary focus of the new Netflix documentary about the Canadian musician, due out Nov. 23.

The trailer includes onstage and backstage footage from Mendes' 104-show tour as well as candid interviews filmed in hotel rooms. "This isn't the story about a famous musician," he says at one point. "This is the story about a guy growing up."

At 22, Mendes has grown up fast, and while one could argue that he hasn't lived enough to fill a documentary about his life, he has racked up more accolades than most artists can only dream of, with his last three albums debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

Mendes' fourth studio album, Wonder, is set to drop on Dec. 4.
