The next chapter of Camila Cabello’s musical career is pushing forward at breakneck speed, and in just the past few days, she has given her legion of fans plenty to enjoy.

The former Fifth Harmony star has returned with new single “Bam Bam,” which serves as the latest official promotional cut off her upcoming third full-length Familia.The tune is a jaunty Latin-pop affair, and it perfectly melds the singer’s Cuban heritage with her Top 40 sensibilities.

The production, which is also rooted in the use of an acoustic guitar, also works for featured musician Ed Sheeran, who brings his top-notch songwriting prowess and superstar fame to the duet.The new single appears to be, at least in part, about Cabello’s split with longtime boyfriend Shawn Mendes.

The Grammy-nominated artists dated for two years before announcing they were no longer together in November 2021. In “Bam Bam,” the pop musician opens the future hit with the lines, “You said you hated the ocean / But you’re surfin’ now / I said I’d love you for life / But I just sold our house.”People points out that for those who know Cabello and Mendes well, the words are clearly about the Canadian heartthrob.
