Camila Cabello was “hurt and felt shitty” over Charli XCX comparisons to ‘I Luv It’

Camila Cabello has admitted that she felt “hurt” by comparisons to Charli XCX and the negative reactions to her 2024 single ‘I Luv It’.At the time, some Charli fans claimed that Cabello was trying to tap into the former’s style on 2017 song ‘I Got It’.Charli even fanned the flames by mimicking a video Cabello posted to ‘I Luv It’ with her own ‘I Got It’ in the background.Now, Cabello has spoken about the comparisons in a new interview with Dork magazine. “It crushed me.

I don’t know how other artists do it because the negative stuff really depresses me… It was a very weird, intense time, and I started dissociating, which has only happened very few times in my life,” she said.She continued: “In the beginning.

I was hurt and felt shitty about the reaction but I feel like I’m open to hearing positive things like that now. I am still processing everything.“Even if nobody liked it, I’d still love this record because I only did what felt great to me.

But knowing that other people have connected to this music does make me feel understood. I don’t know if I’ve had that before.“The things I was writing about for this record are more complex, and there is more tension, which doesn’t always lend itself to easily palatable pop.
