Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao (born March 3, 1997) is a Cuban-American singer, songwriter, and actress.
She rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, formed on The X Factor (U.S.) in 2012, signing a joint record deal with Syco Music and Epic Records.
While a part of Fifth Harmony, Cabello began to establish herself as a solo artist with the release of the collaborations "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with Shawn Mendes, and "Bad Things" with Machine Gun Kelly, the latter reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100.
Camila Cabello’s new album Familia dropped today and the singer isn’t shying away from tackling personal topics, such as her breakup with Shawn Mendes, her struggle with mental health, and her departure from Fifth Harmony.
In her new single, “Psychofreak”, Camila calls upon Willow Smith to bring this fun yet haunting pop track about anxiety to life.
The sexy and sultry music video sees the two defy gravity and go face-to-face with their own inner demons. When explaining the premise of the song, Cabello said that “Psychofreak” is “all of the different things that have made up my journey with anxiety and starting off really young in the industry.” In the second verse of “Psychofreak”, Camila seemingly addresses her breakup from Fifth Harmony, which got very messy after Camila announced her exit in December 2016.
Camila sings “Everybody says they miss the old me, I been on this ride since I was 15,” and then adds, “I don’t blame the girls for how it went down, down.” This lyric, not only makes note of the age she was when the group was formed on “X-Factor USA” by Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, and L.A Reid, but also name-drops Fifth Harmony’s first single as a group of four without Camila, “Down”.
