Camila Cabello JUST RELEASED a snippet of her new breakup song and just to give you
a heads up… it’s a real tearjerker.
Let’s get into it!
As a musician, we guess one of the very few positives that come from a split with your
ex is guaranteed inspo for breakup music.
Just ask the likes of Adele, Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and, most recently,
Camila Cabello!
On TikTok, Camila shared a snippet of a track that will be on her album Familia out April
8th.
And “my oh my” do these lyrics give a gut-wrenching look inside her thoughts about
her split from Shawn Mendes.
The TikTok starts off with the lyrics “Did you get the space you needed?/ Did you realize
you don’t need me?/” and then ends with, “You’re the only one I wanna run into/
But I never do/ Everyone at this party isn’t you.”
Ok, Camila– what a way to get us in our feels right now!
But we’re glad to see she’s finally in a place where her music is helping her heal
from her breakup.
And while we’re on the subject of healing, looks like good ol’ pal Ed Sheeran has been
helping her heal post her split.
Sources for HollywoodLife told the outlet that Camila is “hyper-focused” on her
career and collaborating with Ed Sheeran on their song ‘Bam Bam’ was an “eye-opener”
for her.”
The insider also claimed, “Ed reminded her how talented and unique she was as an artist
on her own.
Ed gave her great advice and he told her that this is a new chapter for her.
It helped to rebuild her confidence in herself and in her abilities.”
We love that Ed was able to do that for her!
We all seriously need more friends like that in our lives!
But it’s amazing to see how channeling her focus into her career is paying off.
She landed a cover interview for Elle Mexico’s April edition, and not only got to show off
how smokin’ she looks post-breakup, but also dives into the making her new album Familia.
When talking to the mag, Camila detailed how writing Familia and her video “Don’t Go
Yet” really helped shape her maturity in terms of her sound and style.
She also opened up about a number of topics including feeling more comfortable recording
in both English and Spanish.
And interestingly enough, she discussed how beneficial it was that she wrote her album
over a span of a year and a half to give her a variety of songs and moods.
While describing her writing process, she specifically said, “ I wrote about the things
I was experiencing at the time….
It was really an evolution of my feelings and my life.
She went on to add, “The good thing is, that I was able to take the time to do it
and write it over a period of a year and a half, where I was in a relationship and then
I wasn't.
I wrote about that and the different experiences.
If I had written a song every day for a month, all those songs probably would have been similar
because my life wasn't changing that much.”
And speaking of using different experiences to inspire her new work, we have to mention
what her ex Shawn Mendes also has going on.
He’s teasing his own new breakup song “When You’re Gone” out March 31st– and doing
it shirtless might we add!
In this clip shared on tiktok, we see Shawn shirtless while moonwalking to a snippet of
his upbeat breakup jam.
Hmmm, we never knew we needed to see Shawn moonwalking before, but now that we have,
our lives are much better for it!
While it’s obvious both Camila and Shawn were heartbroken over their split, we’re
glad to see them both healing and channeling their pain into something productive that
we can all listen to and learn from.
