A portion of the profits from the "Under Pressure" cover was donated to Mercury Phoenix Trust, which was founded by Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor (and the group's manager, Jim Beach) after Mercury's death to help fight [[HIV/AIDS|AIDS]] worldwide. Mendes said in a statement: "I am so honoured to be able to support the amazing legacy of Freddie and Queen by doing a cover of one of my favourite songs, 'Under Pressure'".<ref name="Billboard Mendes Geiger"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2018/10/shawn-mendes-under-pressure-queen-cover-video/|title= Watch Shawn Mendes and Teddy Geiger Cover Queen's 'Under Pressure'|work=Spin|date=12 October 2018|access-date=27 October 2018}}</ref>

===Reception===
Taylor Weatherby from ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' called the track "breezy" and said "Mendes and Geiger put their voices at the forefront of the stripped-down rendition, with Mendes' falsetto and Geiger's 'raspier' tone complementing their plucky acoustic guitars."<ref name="Billboard Mendes Geiger"/>
