The 25-year-old singer said part of that
happiness came from a priority shift.
“I was just like in a really kind of shitty place, like mental
health wise," she said. "Obviously, I want to make good songs,
but to me, it's just like, I just want to have a good time today
in the studio and feel safe and feel relaxed and feel like I'm
being true to myself.”
In November 2021, Cabello and singer Shawn Mendes ended their
nearly three-year relationship.
The Cuban-born American singer said the album, produced by Sony
Group Corp's Epic Records, was made with very few people, and
she hopes fans hear the trust and intimacy in the music.
“Compared to my previous albums, I think I'm just me as a human
being is just in a better, more grounded, more, well rounded
space. My first two albums was, like late teens, early 20s - I
had a lot of anxiety making those albums.”
Cabello got her start as part of the girl group “Fifth Harmony”
and unexpectedly departed that lineup in 2016.
On track three, “Psychofreak”, Cabello sings: “I don’t blame the
girls for how it went down…” and confirmed those lyrics referred
to her former group members.
“That song is basically about anxiety and all of the different
things that have made up like my journey with anxiety and
starting off really young in the industry."
Cabello revealed she now has limited but positive contact with
the women from the group.
“We have been like supportive of each other through like DMs and
stuff," she said. "I'm like in a in a really good place with,
with them.”
The 12-track album features appearances from Willow Smith, Maria
Becerra and two Spanish-language songs.
