Camila Cabello is getting ready to release her upcoming album, Familia, which will be the first since her split from Shawn Mendes. And talking about her latest single in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bam Bam, featuring Ed Sheeran, Camila says, “That’s life, yeah, that’s exactly what inspired the new tune.” She added that she started writing this song with her collaborators a few months back and they had a chorus idea about what it’s been like in my late teens and early 20s falling in and out of love and the ups and downs of that.
The singer then continues, “Also reminding myself, as my mom has told me many times, ‘That’s life.’ You’re on the ground crying on the bathroom floor and then you’ll have feelings for another person again, and you’ll be crying on the bathroom floor again. And that is the cycle of change. Things just change, you never know what’s around the corner.”
Helping Cabello on the track is Sheeran, whom she has worked with before. “When I sent the song and he said, ‘I love, let’s definitely do this,’ I just felt like, ‘This is too good to be true, he’s going to change his mind.’ He didn’t and he has been so excited about it throughout,” she shares. Bam Bam is just the start. Cabello’s third studio album is due out on April 8.

Camila then revealed that the recording process was ‘cathartic,’ because she was able to go into the studio and sing what was on her heart. “For me, my process is really cathartic,” she says. “It’s me… kind of singing anything that I think about and feel into a microphone. I do like seven takes of that. I do that for like 25 minutes, and then I and my collaborators talk about it. Then we are like, ‘Oh, you said this, that was really cool.’ We brainstorm, we fill it in and then that becomes a song.”
