What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy.
Camila Cabello, welcome to Call Her Daddy.
Yes!
I'm so excited.
I am so happy you're here to anyone in the Daddy Gang that is listening to this and not watching.
The Daddy Gang. The Daddy Gang, do you wanna say hi?
Oh my God, yes.
Hello, Daddy Gang.
I love the community aspect of it.
Would you consider your sister Daddy Gang?
Oh, 100%.
Okay, that makes me feel cozy.
My sister is Daddy Gang for sure.
I love how can I say your mom walked in here
and she was like, don't worry, I'm not gonna be listening.
I know, because I could just intuit, I could read your energy that you were like,
oh, her mom is here.
Like that limits the questions.
I'm like, what do I have in here that's sexual?
I'm like, just close your ears
and pretend this isn't happening.
To anyone that's listening, Camila walked in here
and she has platinum blonde hair.
I know.
How did you decide to do this?
You know, I felt like I just,
I needed a big physical change.
Cause I feel like, I don't know,
my dark hair has been with me for all of my life.
I feel like it was just like a big part of how
the public saw me, the world saw me, how I saw myself.
And I feel like it's just been a year of like,
the theme has very much been like play and transformation
and changing and being brave.
But I feel like also the music is so different,
like the world is so different that,
I don't know, for so many reasons I was like,
I feel like a physical change needs to like accompany that.
And then I tried on a few different wigs.
I was gonna ask,
cause I was talking to someone like,
would I ever change my hair color?
I'm like, oh my God, I don't know if I would,
but I would do wigs before you just go for it.
I definitely think you need to do wigs
because it's such a big change.
But I do feel like everybody should do it.
I mean, not everybody should do it,
but it's like a fun, like, I don't know,
it brings out a different part of your personality.
It's like, I don't know, it's kind of like a YOLO,
like, I don't know, just like, fuck it.
Is it okay if I take, please?
Should I take a sip?
Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.
We're drinking wine.
Okay, I need a little bit Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. We're drinking wine.
Okay, I need a little bit of wine.
Cause we were talking about,
I don't really do stuff like this.
So I definitely was like a little nervous,
but I'm also, I'm really excited for like my fans.
I feel like they like haven't seen me be a person in a while.
Okay, cheers.
Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.
I'm gonna look over and Camila's gonna be chugging
the entire thing, like, no, wait, slow down, no.
Yeah, it's 1 p.m.
Yes, for context, it's one in the afternoon
and the sun is out and we're drinking wine.
But honestly, I haven't drank in a second.
I've been working so much.
I really, I'm like, I feel like I kinda deserve,
you've had a really busy schedule too,
you told me yesterday.
I was doing meetings with foils in my head,
like what are we doing?
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
Baby.
Baby.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this.
We deserve this. We deserve this. We deserve this. We deserve this. We deserve this. That's what I get excited about for these type of interviews that you haven't done
something like this in a while.
No, and years I feel like.
And I think it's important though to sometimes like step back.
Why do you think you haven't done something in a while?
I think it was just I needed to kind of protect myself from, I actually wouldn't even say
protect myself. I think I just I needed to just be a human being. I needed to be a person. I needed to kind of step away from being a public persona
and just work on myself from the inside out,
as opposed to like the outside in.
I mean, I've been in the public eye
since I was 15 years old.
So I feel like so much of,
especially the first maybe seven or eight years,
I was like kind of figuring myself out at the same time. And I think that's what I was 15 years old. So I feel like so much of, especially the first maybe seven or eight years,
I was like kind of figuring myself out at the same time
as like trying to process and take in
what other people thought,
even if I'm not necessarily reading it directly,
you just kind of subconsciously are trying to figure out
what to do with all of that.
So I don't know, I think I needed some time
and some space to be like, who am I?
What's important to me?
What are, not only what are my values in that sense,
but also like, what are my hobbies?
What do I like to do?
What's my taste in art?
What kind of people do I like hanging out with?
What kind of people do I not like hanging out with?
And I feel like that's kind of the journey
I've been on for the past few years.
And it's been really nice and healthy for me.
I feel like I really kind of needed to do that.
Amazing. Yeah.
Let's talk about you growing up for a second.
Okay, growing up, you're like,
Cheers.
Cheers again.
My God, to exploring one childhood.
We're gonna go through all the eras.
Yeah, the origin myth.
Okay, born in Cuba.
Yeah.
You moved to Miami when you're like seven.
Yeah, it's so funny,
because I always say six or seven.
My mom was like, you have to like pick an age.
Right, like which was it?
Yeah, I'm like, I moved when I was six or seven,
and when I was six or seven,
it's like I wouldn't say that.
So six or seven.
Yeah. Camila moves to Miami.
Can you tell me, like, how did your parents explain to you
that you were moving?
My mom told me we were going to Disney World.
As immigrant parents do, they lie to protect us.
I love my mom so much.
She's not watching, so I don't have to worry
about hurting her feelings on that one.
Hi, mom.
Hey, mom.
But yeah, she said, she told me we were going to Disney World
and I was really excited until maybe a couple months pass.
And I was like, wait a second,
I'm still here and there's no Disney World.
And yeah, it's funny.
Like I really empathize with that, you know,
that age, that version of me,
because I can imagine that it's probably informed
some parts of my personality in the sense that like,
one day I had like all my cousins and all my family around
and the next day, not to like whatever,
like a pity sob story or whatever,
but you know, one day they were there
and then the next day I was kind of like,
oh, where is everybody? I actually had this song that I wrote
that didn't end up making it into the album,
but like so many empty chairs
for like Christmas dinner or whatever.
It was like some like lyric like that,
but I think that's such a like visceral image
that I can remember.
It's like a lot of noise,
and then it was like just me and my mom.
Why did you guys move?
I think it was just the situation in Cuba
was getting more and more difficult,
like lack of, there was just like such a ceiling,
like as far as like, you know, my mom was an architect
and even if you had a good job, there was just like such,
there was like not a lot of resources,
like even like food, medicine, education. Like, I don't think a lot of people know like the situation there
is like really, it's pretty, it's pretty tough, especially right now. Like there's like, there's
not a lot of food. I have family members that have come even like a month ago that are still
coming and, you know, they see see the food that we have
in the pantry and they're like,
we're just not used to this.
And I think that's what's amazing too
about Miami and the community there is like,
I think because everybody has those common
start from nothing thing, it really is like,
hey, if you don't have a job, I've got this uncle, I got this cousin,
like you come work for me, you don't know how to do this,
well, it's fine, I'll teach you, whatever.
And everybody's just kind of like-
Helping each other.
Helping each other and also just like
helping each other improvise.
And we're constantly like trying to like bring our
our family over.
So yeah.
I think even when you were saying
that like six or seven age, I think at that time. The new age, six or seven.
New age, six or seven.
I came when I was six or seven.
When you were six or seven,
I'm thinking about you moving to,
having to go to a new school, moving to a new country,
probably not completely speaking English.
Oh no, not at all.
At all.
How did you even like- No speaking.
How did you make friends?
Like what was school like?
I really made friends.
It's crazy to think about.
Like in hindsight, I made my best friends
through music always.
I was always like, you know, my first friend that I made,
her name was Giselle and we lived in like an apartment
complex, she lived in the same complex as me.
And we bonded over like the Cheetah Girls.
I wanted to be them so bad.
And I loved like, you know, Cinderella like that.
It's actually crazy how much I am realizing
a lot of these things came to be.
I was gonna say you manifested the shit.
Yeah, I know, I really manifested the shit
out of like my fucking life.
Then you were Cinderella.
Yeah, I know, and I was in a girl group.
But anyway, so like we would, you know,
I would bring the CD or whatever,
and we would just dance to it
and pretend like we were in a girl group.
And then when I was in elementary school,
it was like we would pretend to be on American Idol.
Fuck, I manifested that shit too, I guess, I'm realizing.
And then we were like,
I made a mini girl group with my friends,
and we were called Lion Girls,
Queens of the Jungle, because I love the Cheetah Girls.
That's not like, that's not a like musician flex.
You're like, that's a really good name.
I'm like, God damn, what did you sound like back then?
And I remember like this one friend that I had,
like my best friend, we would like,
I remember during the summers, we would like, we would be on the phone
and we would like just be singing on the phone,
like, oh my God, I did like this, that riff sounds so good.
Like everything was honestly really tied to music.
So you knew from a young age that you like loved performing.
I loved, I wouldn't even say performing
because I was really, really shy.
It was like almost, it was like really reserved
for my friends.
And I remember my friends even say now,
they're like, remember when we used to be like,
sing, sing, because I don't know if that was a thing
for when it was your age, but I feel like anybody
who was like, had like a good voice in school.
It was like, it was kind of like sing.
And at the time it was like, it was in such like good faith that people were trying.
But meanwhile, the person that is gonna have to sing
feels like fuck all of you, I don't wanna sing.
So if I was to ask any of the kids that went to your school
that weren't your friends, like, okay,
Camila at 15 years old is gonna become a huge pop star,
famous, what do you think they would have said? There were people that were like, at 15 years old is gonna become a huge pop star famous.
What do you think they would have said?
There were people that were like,
I didn't even know that she sang.
Stop.
Cause I was just, I went through different phases.
I think there was with some people that I was really funny
and class clowny and whatever.
And then for most people, I was really shy.
I'm shy.
Okay, let's talk about X-Factor. So I'm reading online and I'm shy. Okay, let's talk about X Factor.
So I'm reading online and I'm like, wait, is this true?
I'm like, you said that you went on X Factor first
to just meet One Direction.
This is true.
I mean, that is-
Tell me the plan.
Like, what was the plan going in there?
I mean, honestly, I was a huge,
I don't know if, I'm curious if you were too,
but I was like, you know,
I was such a big pop culture fan.
Like since I was young and my friends
and I really bonded over that.
Like we didn't love fucking One Direction.
We loved One Direction.
We loved One Direction.
Yeah, we loved One Direction.
We wanted to fuck One Direction.
I mean, at that age, we just wanted,
I wanted to just kiss them.
Any like just anything.
But yeah, even if at an early age,
I wasn't like, I want to be a singer
because I think it just wasn't even a thing
that I thought of.
Like it was like, bitch how?
Like, you know?
Like how will this be a career?
Yeah, like I don't have anybody that knows anybody.
I'm like in Miami, like nobody fucking,
the most that we had was, I don't know if you remember
like when that like person would come on the radio
and be like, auditions for Nickelodeon.
Do you wanna be the next Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber?
And all of my friends and I would be like, yes!
And it's like, there's no way, bitch.
Everyone sit down.
Just so you know, I was one of those girls too,
being like, yes!
Did you audition?
No, I couldn't sing.
All of my friends and I auditioned,
and they were like, you are amazing.
You're only gonna have to pay $15,000
to go to this acting school.
My mom was like, yeah, yeah, scam.
But that was like, in hindsight,
it was always the center of my life
was music and singing and writing and whatever.
It was always like my obsession.
And I think like One Direction or pop culture
was like an extension of that in a different way,
in a more probably hormonal, crushy way.
But yeah, but I really was like,
I need to audition to X Factor
and I need to do whatever it takes to make it
to at least the point where I meet Harry,
really all of them, but like Harry, but really Harry.
So yeah.
For everyone else, it was always Harry.
Then like Zayn really popped off
and like I've met him in person, great guy.
Like I was like, oh, okay.
No, and Nile's so lovely too.
He's like amazing.
But it's just- It's Harry.
It's Harry.
I just, I was like, I really, really,
he was an inspiring muse for me at 15.
When you talk about a guy when you're younger
that you were obsessed with, like it does-
It's a sickness.
It brings you back.
Like I kind of had that with Justin Bieber
where you're like-
Oh, I was also-
Justin, and I'm like,
I want to be the one less lonely girl.
Like shut up Alex.
It's crazy how delusional you are at that age.
You believe.
No, you believe that you're meant to fall in love,
that they don't know that you are the girl for them.
Like they don't know it, but once they do,
there will be no stopping that train.
It's crazy how delusional you are at that age.
Did you ever do this?
Like, I remember I'd be at concerts and I'm like,
if he just locks eyes.
Oh no, me too.
Me too, I'd be like, I would, I remember like going to the concert being like,
I have to look incredible.
Cause for some reason I thought me at 15 years old
with like my like insanely terrible like side bang
and like, you know, like that he would lock eyes
and then he would know for some reason, it's crazy.
I still have some of that delusion left in me now.
I think it's good delusion though, right?
It's fun. It keeps you, it keeps thingsusion left in me now. I think it's good delusion though, right? It's fun.
It keeps things spicy.
It does, on your toes, you know?
Oh yeah, 100%.
Just like wanting things you can't have.
No, delusion is a necessary ingredient,
I think to like my happiness,
but I definitely had way more at 15.
I definitely was like, once he sees me,
he's dumping Kendall Jenner.
He will know. He won't even know what hit him. once he sees me, he's dumping Kendall Jenner.
He will know.
He won't even know what hit him.
When our eyes lock, it's like game over baby, wifey.
And then I look pictures of myself at that age
and I'm like, oh my God, I look like such a baby.
It was never gonna happen.
Never gonna happen.
But you joined Fifth Harmony
and obviously you don't join One Direction,
although you probably wanted to, be like the one girl in the group.
But I joined the what felt to me like at that time, like I was like, oh my god,
yes, this is happening to me now.
No, that's actually so crazy.
Like you were becoming like the female version of the new One Direction.
Yeah, I mean like when I remember when we were at X Factor and they started like calling our names up,
I was like, I know this fucking story.
I have seen it.
Obviously there was a lot of drama when you walked away from the group.
And now that like time has passed and you look back at everything, like how do you feel
about how everything went down?
I feel like I'm like can really focus on and remember the really joyful times. And I grew a lot in that group.
And I remember waking up on tour
and going to my hotel room at like 7 a.m.
and going to my garage band and writing songs
because I didn't wanna do it while everybody was there.
And I just like, I had such a passion
for that turned into writing.
And at first I was like,
oh, maybe I wanna write for other people.
But then it turned into like,
no, actually I wanna sing these songs by myself.
And I started just distancing myself
from I feel like the group vision.
And it felt like they were still really passionate
and into that.
And so I just was like, I'm not happy here anymore.
Like it doesn't feel aligned.
I think also like that's so okay.
And I think there's two parts of it.
One, people can look back and be heartbroken
that something breaks up so understandable,
similar to One Direction.
Of course it is like, oh my God, yeah, it is.
It's kind of necessary to grow.
It's like any breakup, like, yeah, it sucks.
Which we're gonna get into.
Okay, so I'm thinking back, you joined this group at 15
and I'm thinking about like you were in it for four years.
That's basically like a high school experience.
Like crazy.
You're a celebrity at such a young age.
You're touring, you're busy.
Did you have time to date?
How did you meet guys?
What was the vibe? You're touring, you're busy. Did you have time to date? How did you meet guys?
What was the vibe?
When I was 15 to 19,
it was like guys that, you know,
like not a lot, like a few, a few.
And it was very like we saw each other
maybe once or twice a year.
I really started dating and whatever,
like probably when I was like 20.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because before that it was just like,
the group was like all encompassing.
That was your relationship.
That was my relationship, yeah.
I feel like everyone remembers their first love.
I remember mine.
I feel like you can kind of never be the same after it
because it teaches you so much
and it is you experienced so many firsts with this person.
What comes to your mind when you think of like my first love? My first love was I feel like I've had
a few maybe a couple great loves. Okay. How about you? I think I've had a couple as well.
I think it's interesting
because now that I'm engaged, I look back on it.
I like that wasn't.
Well, it's interesting.
It's different.
And I talk about this with Matt all the time.
And I'm so happy that we have a healthy enough relationship
to talk about exes and not be insecure about it,
which I used to, I would have been insecure
in past relationships
to talk about exes, but when I think about being in love,
I definitely can pinpoint like the first person
I was in love with that I met when I was like 16.
And it was just this like all encompassing.
Just like wrecks you.
Me too, and 17 was probably my first, like really in love.
I don't know, it's like,
there's so many different connotations to in love though,
because sometimes it's like, who was I happiest with,
or who made me the most devastated?
And sometimes it's like,
God, what even is the right definition of in love?
Because there were people that,
there was one person that made me the happiest,
and there was the other person that made me
the most sick and crazy.
And I don't know what is the definition of like,
what's the most in love, you know?
It's a good point.
It's like, I feel like when I look back,
I agree with you, all of my loves are different,
but it's also just so fucking weird
because you are so different.
And I think of like what I was giving maybe
in my first love, like I was definitely not someone bringing
health and wellness to the relationship.
Like it was like fighting and writing letters
and like that it was like that notebook type of love
where it's like so fucking hard and devastating.
You're just like, fuck my life.
But the, when you leave those types of relationships,
I feel like it leaves the biggest lasting memory for a while
because it was so hard and you fought so much
and it was so loving but then difficult
that you can kind of romanticize it once you leave.
Where the people that left you happy,
and if it was more stable,
I have found it was easier to move on from
just because I can like kind of put it
in a corner of my brain and be like,
that was so great, but I know it wasn't meant to be.
I don't know if that makes sense.
No, totally, totally.
I mean, I think like there is a part of me that still,
it depends what mood I'm in.
Sometimes I really want peace and happiness.
And other times I still miss and love
that chaotic sickening feeling.
And I don't know what that is.
I have to explore it further in therapy.
But there is something like so kind of like addictive
about that.
And you know, it's interesting because it's like,
you know, it's like the classic classic nervous system quote, like whatever.
I mean, actually, I don't know why I said classic
because it's not a classic.
Classic.
But it's relatable.
You know that quote, it's like,
find someone that's good for your nervous system.
A lot of the times, the people that do make you feel
fucking sick with love are not good for your nervous system.
But it's addictive.
But it feels so good and terrible at the same time.
Because when it's good, it's so fucking good.
Because when it's good, it's like,
you could cut my leg off today,
I will be smiling all teeth.
But when it's bad, and I think this is what's so interesting,
when it is bad, and I think back to those types
of relationships, there's something like,
that makes you feel
even more romantic about it
because it's like we're fighting, we're working.
We're like, it's just, it is kind of convoluted.
And there are some relationships that take a lot of work
to then get to be good.
Or there are just a lot of relationships
that just shouldn't fucking work.
But we put so much into them because it is addicting.
And it really changes, I feel like, as you age.
I feel like when I was younger,
so many relationships were like my projection
of people in my head.
And I really romanticized the shit out of them.
And I really took a little thing that they said,
and I just ran with that.
But now I find that it's like the people that you meet
that are like really exciting
and how you have real chemistry with,
it's really, it's rare and hard to find.
It is so fucking hard to find.
I find like the first couple hangouts,
you will kind of be able to just gauge like if it's there
because I'm not someone that's as much of like
a slow burn type of person.
I am not a slow burn.
And what sucks is that I hear
that that's the healthiest thing.
It's like, I've heard podcasts or where people are like,
if you kind of like this person and if you're curious,
just go on a second date.
And I'm just the kind of person that's like,
if I am not like going to sleep,
like wanting to sleep, like wanting
to have you inside me. Like I, I.
No, I get it.
Honestly, that's extreme.
Maybe not that, but if I'm not, if I'm not like,
if I don't leave the day and I'm like, wow,
it's really hard for me to have that slow burn approach,
but I'm trying to be more like that.
I think it's just.
I agree.
I also just want to validate you
cause it's not extreme what you just said.
I think when I've left first date,
you want to like, I know it sounds fucking crazy,
but this is a girls girl podcast,
so everyone girl will get it.
You leave and you can like literally quickly go through
like picturing yourself in like positions with them
and places will not, well, positions physically
and like places in life
and just like kind of quickly the next year with them.
And you're like picturing like the next date
and your sexual chemistry.
It's disgusting.
You can kind of envision it.
And then if I can't with someone,
it's hard to go on the second date.
I know, but a lot of people say like you should.
And you know, and-
Fuck us.
Yeah, I know, I know.
You're like, God damn it.
It's interesting. but so you're
i love it i am yeah yeah yeah what is single camila like
What is single Camila like? Okay, I try to really prioritize that part of my life.
Okay.
Because it just makes me feel, it's just so fun.
Yeah.
I honestly love Big Single.
I love it.
But I also, I've been in relationships for a lot of my,
since I started dating, like since I started dating
when I was 20, I was in long-term relationships a lot.
So it feels fun to just like get to know people
and like talk and like see what happens.
Yeah, those beginning stages are like.
Beginning stage also, also my weakness
cause I love a beginning stage, it's so fun.
It's so good, it's I think why I had such a hard time
getting into serious relationships for a while
because the thrill and the excitement
and the unknown is so fun.
And then once it becomes like predictable,
I used to be like bye.
But when you get older again,
like you start to realize there can be a balance.
And you start to realize there are also,
there are other things that are important.
Like you can go deeper and that's surprising.
And you know, at the end of the day,
it's like we're people that are,
I really believe like we're never just one person.
We are constantly changing.
Like Matt could be a different person in two years.
He will be a new person.
And so there's always something new.
Yeah, that's a good point.
But I do feel like I'm like,
I think also because I was just in a heavy
writing process, writing stage,
it's really experiences.
I'm just so hungry for experiences.
The more experiences-
The better.
The better. Okay so one experience
you had recently that we all saw online was you were on a vacation with Drake. Oh gosh well you
know what? I have to ask. I can't not ask. Yeah of course, of course. Have you guys ever been a thing?
Well I wouldn't first of all I wouldn't say like straight up vacation. Okay. Okay. Okay. It was vacation plus plus some work. Oh
Oh, oh
The whole internet just broke so it was vacation plus some work, but I will say you know what I
Love that man. I love him. Mm-hmm. We all love that man. We all love him, right? The internet really loved him recently.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay, so have you ever had, can we confirm or no?
Have I ever had what?
Like a little thing with Drake.
Beautiful artistic collaboration with him.
Yes.
I may or may not have.
What is it like going on vacation with Drake?
Okay, first of all, we did not go on vacation.
Like the two of you.
This was like a homey, like friends trip.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, so let me break this down.
Rewind, rewind, rewind.
Okay, so basically Drake was a big, love him.
Love him.
Love him as an artist for real.
Me too.
Love him as, like, right?
Yes.
He's the best.
Yes.
Who the goat?
He, I love him so much and I really listened to him a lot
during my writing process, during my album.
And I really felt like he would like my album.
Love.
For real.
Confident, fucking love it.
And so I DM'd him and I was like,
hey, I really wanna play.
I was like, you know what?
I'm just gonna put it out there.
I just-
That's fucking baller.
We gotta make shit happen.
You gotta make shit happen.
We gotta make shit happen.
So I DM'd him and I was like,
I would love to play you on my album.
I honestly feel like you would really love it
because, you know, because I listened to him a lot
and I just feel like we're, I really do feel like musically
in a lot of ways we like the same things.
And I feel, yeah.
So we hung out, I played him my album.
What'd he say?
He loved it.
Okay.
And I thought that he would.
And I was like so excited.
It was also such a surreal moment for me
to like play Drake my songs and like, you know,
that's another one of those things that you're just like,
wow, I would have never expected that this would happen.
A dream.
It's a dream.
Like, it's a dream.
I remember being there and being like,
wow, this is like so fucking sick.
And he's so generous and so kind.
But anyway, so I didn't like just go on vacation with him.
It was like a vacation like work thing.
But honestly, I will say, I love him.
And that has been such a fun part
about this whole experience.
Like this has been the most,
it's been a really insular process
in terms of like me taking it back to basics
in terms of like me like really focusing on like,
you know, my craft of writing or whatever.
But at the same time,
literally I could chug this whole thing right now
of like huge toast to that.
And he's amazing and I love him.
Let's do a toast to Drake.
Toast to Drake, to Champagne Poppy.
God bless.
We all love you. God bless. We all love you.
God bless.
We really do love you.
I love you.
Dude, okay, so you are single.
So what is the approach to dating?
Are you looking for something serious?
Are you going on dates?
Like what is happening?
As far as looking for something serious,
I don't know, I have phases.
Like maybe like two weeks ago, I'm like, oh my God.
Like I really just, I wanna really have something real with someone. two weeks ago, I'm like, oh my God, like I really just,
I wanna really have something real with someone.
I'm ready, I'm ready.
I'm ready for something real again.
And then I am like, you know,
talking and like meeting someone new and I'm like,
oh my God, I love this, this is so fun.
I don't want anything serious right now.
So it really, it's like, it's different phases. I really think I'm like, there's so much going on right now, so it really, it's like, it's different, it's different phases.
I really think I'm like, there's so much going on right now
that if it was somebody serious,
I would really have to connect with them
on a really deep level, which I always hope it is.
I'm a hopeless romantic at heart.
Like, I love my fun, but I'm a hopeless romantic for sure.
And I literally, if I have like a great kiss with somebody,
I'm like, I would die for you.
Right, like we're in love.
Oh yeah, 100%.
Are you someone that will have a roster?
Like what's the situation?
Are you good at handling multiple men at once?
I do like a little bit, not too much,
but just a little bit of like a, you know,
there's like maybe a few vibes. Yes. There's a few vibes, you know, there's like maybe a few vibes.
There's a few vibes, you know?
And I think there's a different level of like,
for some people roster is like,
the intimacy is like maybe sleeping with all of them.
That's too much.
For me, it's more kind of like vibes and talking,
hanging out, whatever.
But I can't be serious, at least at this point with more than one person.
I completely agree.
I feel like when you're in the single stage,
it's helpful to kind of just like pick around
and just kind of like keep a couple people in the arena
just to be like, yeah.
That's where I am.
Like, what's your vibe?
What's your vibe?
Right, and then like once one kind of drops off,
you can pick up a new one.
Yeah.
But it's fun.
You're my new favorite.
Yes, and I think as busy- You're my new favorite.
Yes. And I think as busy as you are, I get that.
It's like, unless the person is gonna be like,
holy fucking shit, this is like late night till 3 a.m.,
you're fucking talking.
Exactly. If it's late night till 3 a.m.,
and we have this insane connection, and I'm like,
oh, you're like, it's giving father of my children vibe.
Like, I will fly anywhere, like whatever,
then I will do that.
But if it's like, I liked him and he was cute
and that was cute, then it's like,
I'll see you when I see you.
Have you ever flown a guy somewhere?
Only in like relationship vibes.
No, I mean, I haven't like flown them.
Got it.
They fly to-
Right at the front of the plane. No, yeah, I haven't piloted them to my hotel room.
But I mean like, they have flown to me,
but I haven't been like, let me just get you a flight.
Yeah, I'm not a-
Daddy energy.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I know.
What gives you the ick?
To be honest, one of the things that would give me the ick
is I don't really wanna be like with a guy,
like I don't wanna be like on my daddy shit.
Have a little bit of like that like masculine energy,
kinda take control.
Take control.
Especially cause you're in control all fucking day
with your career.
And that's a big psychological thing.
Do you feel like that too?
I was gonna say, like I want for sure respect,
but if I'm like, I am literally running the ship here.
No, same.
If I'm making decisions all day
and I have to be like on my fucking like whatever,
daddy shit.
On ironic daddy boss girl shit,
you better come correct when it's time.
And let me just not think about anything.
Like I want you to like, fuck,
I want to let go and surrender.
Right.
What is your philosophy around ghosting?
Are we ghosting people?
Are we not?
No, I don't like that.
I mean, I actually had a conversation
with my friends the other day
because I went on a date with this guy.
Okay. One date.
How'd it go?
Not great. Okay.
I didn't like it.
And I went on a date with this guy
and I asked my, he was like texting me and I asked my friends,
I was like, hey guys, if I don't answer, is this ghosting?
Do you go out in public with this person?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Okay. And so-
But they're not like, he wasn't famous.
Why did it not go well?
It was just so boring.
Like there was no spark.
No, I was like, I was thinking about every other ex.
Yeah, like I was just not.
That's the fucking worst when you're like,
or just the number one on the roster.
You're like, he's like a real good right now.
Like you're like, I'm just thinking about number one
and you're like, you're like, get out, just leave.
Yeah.
But you went through the whole fucking date.
I honestly, this is actually crazy.
So I was hiding my hair.
Were you wearing a beanie?
I was wearing a black wig and.
No, did.
I was just like, my head really hurts.
Camila, you said that you had like a headache.
Did he know you had like a headache.
Did he know you were wearing a wig?
I told him.
Yeah.
You're like, babe, the wigs really pulling.
I gotta go.
I was like, I gotta go.
What did he say?
He was like, yeah, of course, let's go.
You're like, no, but like alone.
Yeah, I feel bad.
I really hope he doesn't see this.
He won't.
There's no way. I don't think he'll see this.
But the thing is this, sometimes in life,
it's, you gotta just feel the vibes.
And you know what, let me rephrase this, just in case.
Yeah, just in case, just in case.
It wasn't that it was boring, I just was like,
my heart was in it. It wasn't in it.
I think that's okay.
My heart was with someone else.
Listen, I think that's fine to say,
and I think we, especially as women,
need to get more comfortable,
because how many fucking times are men like,
"'Nah, she ain't hot enough,' or like,
"'Nah, she's not that,' you just didn't vibe with it.
It wasn't it.
That doesn't mean you got an amazing person.
It wasn't a fit.
But I am sensitive about ghosting,
because I feel like you have to be kind to people.
And however, I didn't text him back
because I was like, I don't know.
I don't know.
Honestly, and if somebody were to say right now,
hey, and my friend actually, they gave me good advice.
They were like, don't text him back.
If he keeps texting you, then say,
hey, honestly, it really wasn't a fit
but it was so nice to meet you, wish you well.
But he didn't keep texting.
So I was like, I'll leave it.
But if things had gone on like further,
then I'm not a fan of the ghosting thing.
I just feel like it's like, why hurt people?
Just be nice, don't lead them on.
I agree.
Let's just, you know.
And I also, just to clarify for your own conscious
as we're drinking our wine, that's not ghosting.
I don't think so either.
He sent you one text, you didn't respond,
and I kind of love a guy that's self-aware enough
to be like, got it, checked it.
To stop, 100%.
Like she's not into it.
And also it's like, it's one date.
Like, yeah, like we didn't like have three months together.
100%, that's crazy.
When people do that, if somebody,
if I was with somebody and they ghosted me
after we were intimate or after we whatever,
I would be like, you're just like,
that's a very unkind thing to do.
And I wouldn't wanna be with somebody like that anyway.
What is the biggest red flag
that you've ever willingly ignored?
So many, I mean, right?
So many.
I don't know, you start, give me an idea.
I would say like, I think when I look back
at past relationships, something that comes up for me
is like feeling insecure around him.
Oh, big, big.
You should never feel like, oh my God,
I don't want him to see me in the morning
if I have like a breakout or like,
if I do I look good enough for this date
or like if I'm on the date, is he looking at other women?
Like, when you're with the right person,
you would never think that way.
And I think that is something I would ignore
in this one relationship I had where I was constantly
feeling like I wasn't good enough.
And it's like, why?
Like I am.
Yeah, I think that's a big red flag is like how you feel.
Like that's just such a big temperature check
in relationships.
Like I've been in relationships before where I'm like,
if I am miserable for this long,
there is just something off.
And every time I've been like, it's me, it's me, it's me.
It's me, oh my God, oh my God, it's my, what is it?
What am I, oh my God, blah, blah, blah.
But it's like a lot of the times it's like,
it's just not right.
I agree.
It's not right.
It's like, if I feel so much better when I'm not with you,
and then when I'm with you,
I feel miserable and overthinking and anxious every time,
then we are just not right.
And then I think you kind of keep going
because you have this like hope or some ideal
of what the relationship is.
We can work on it, we can this, we can this, we can that.
And it's like, sometimes it's like,
you have to temperature check.
Like.
Yeah, just like, it's not right.
It's not right.
Have you ever been cheated on?
I actually, I'm lucky to say I have not been cheated on.
That's amazing.
I know.
That's amazing.
Maybe, I really don't think this counts,
but I was like 17 talking to a guy,
but I don't think that counts.
Have you ever had someone go through your phone?
That's a yes.
How did you see them checking it?
I had deleted some texts.
Right.
And they were like,
why did you delete this text message history? Got it. With another person. And I were like, why did you delete this? Text message history. Got it.
With another person.
Fuck.
And I was like, my phone deletes things.
No.
Like, I was like young and.
You were being a little shady.
I was being a little shady.
And then they caught you.
But that's where it's so fucked
because you're like, who's in the wrong?
And then it's like the meme of Spider-Man where it's like.
I was definitely in the wrong.
Okay, okay. For sure. I love that. My phone deletes things. Oh, I'm terrible. That's such a bad lie. It's amazing
I was like I have never been to this day. I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life
Like I was like Apple my phone just like I deletes messages like whole complete message
I don't I don't know see but I honestly I broke up with him literally three days after that. Okay that's good. That's good. But you know shit happens. Life happens.
It happens. Okay we're gonna play rapid fire. If you had to trade lives with any
celebrity who would it be? It's I honestly would say no one. Really? I like
my life. Love. What about you? I don't know why this just came up for me. I don't
know if it's the wine. Yeah go. But I going to say like maybe like Meryl Streep.
Interesting.
I think I think I mean, it would be amazing to be like one of the best actresses
in the totally.
I think it's more because I think if I had to pick a celebrity,
I would want someone that's like not in the public eye and like chooses to not.
She's never being paparazzi. She's never.
So Meryl Streep. OK, we're moving on. not, she's never being paparazzi, she's never,
so Meryl Streep, okay, we're moving on.
No, that's a good one.
Okay, okay.
Have you ever had to lie to your friends
about a guy you were seeing?
Yeah, oh my God, all the time, like not all the time,
but like I love this TikTok that I see,
it's like your friend is like,
you like show them like a terrible text
and it's like, and what did you respond to him? And you're like, like my friends are's like, your friend is like, you show them a terrible text and it's like, and what did you respond to him?
And you're like, uh.
Like my friends are always like,
my friends are cold as fuck, cold hearted.
Those are good friends sometimes though.
They're like, dude, how could you text him back?
Don't text him, don't do that emoji.
I'm like, oh my God, I didn't know you guys were mean.
But they're very, but it's good.
They're keeping you in line. Oh my God, yeah, cause I'm like the opposite. I'm like, I my God, I didn't know you guys were mean. But they're very, but it's good. They're keeping you in line.
Oh my God, yeah, cause I'm like the opposite.
I'm like, I'm a dumb ass.
I got it, I get it.
I'm an idiot.
I was just going with it.
What is your biggest insecurity?
My biggest insecurity, like internal, external, whatever.
Whatever.
This is just this probably the wine too.
And I saw this Jodie Foster like interview,
like I was reading it yesterday.
Congrats on your New York Times article by the way.
Oh my God, thank you.
I didn't read it because I didn't wanna make myself nervous
before the interview, but I love the New York Times.
And I was like, oh my God, there she is.
But I saw this one New York Times or New York or whatever,
like Jodie Foster interview and she was like,
for somebody who values privacy so much,
I really wanna be understood.
And that really resonated with me.
I feel like my insecurity is like,
I don't know, some like childhood thing of like,
being like, I don't care if people get me,
I don't care if people, whatever,
I'm just gonna be myself.
But at the same time,
really wanting people to understand me and not dislike me or whatever.
So I don't really know.
I think it's like a general insecurity
of like probably like being seen
and then not loved or whatever.
I think that is one of the most relatable feelings.
I think we all can try to put up a front of like,
I don't care about like the mean comments or this or that.
Totally, I try to not care, but at the same time,
it's like, yeah, I really-
We're humans.
I want love from people.
Right.
And you want people to understand you
because like I can tell you have such a good heart
that like it's a difficult balance of like people seeing things online and then you're like, I can tell you have such a good heart that like it's a difficult balance
of like people seeing things online.
And then you're like,
I can't run to defend myself every moment.
But it is tough when you are being perceived
in a way that you're like, that's not accurate.
That's infuriating.
It is, it is.
There's a lot of surrender.
Like you have to really let go.
If you're spicing it up with lingerie,
what color are you wearing?
Ooh, I think black.
Morning sex or night sex?
I honestly love morning sex.
I like both, but there's,
and my favorite is actually like,
I love like an afternoon vibe
because it feels so like European.
It feels so like you're like not working.
And it feels like so primal in a way.
Like I don't have to work.
Right, it stands out.
Let's just like eat fruit and like, I'm coitus.
I fucking love you.
It's so good.
If you're going home with someone,
are you going back to his or is he coming to yours?
I prefer him coming back to mine for sure.
Biggest turnoff in the bedroom.
I don't like silence and just no passion.
Yes.
I need like-
Going through the motions.
I hate going through the motions.
I'm like, why are we even doing this?
Why are we making eye contact?
Why aren't we making out?
Why aren't you saying things to me?
Let's like, you know what I mean?
Yes, I get it.
Yeah, to me I'm like, I would rather not have this.
Favorite sex position.
It depends on the vibe and it depends on
The energy of whatever is happening on like it's if there's like in love
Mm-hmm sex and then there's like kind of freaky. Yeah vibes. Yes. I get it
You know, I got in different different strokes for different times. I get it. Okay, literally I
you know, I get different strokes for different times. I get it. Okay. Literally.
I gotta ask what your opinion is on getting back with an ex.
I'm personally, I think it's known, I'm a fan.
I support it.
Support it in the past.
Cheers.
Cheers. What about you?
I think it's so, I personally think it's helpful.
It's helpful because I am not a person,
you can't forbid things from me
because I will want to do it more.
Yes.
If I tell myself, some of my friends
are really good at that, they're like,
well, not gonna text him because blah, blah, blah, blah.
I'm not like that.
I'm like, if I wanna text him, I'm gonna text him.
I agree.
I completely agree.
Like I've gotten back with exes.
Even if I know it's not gonna work,
sometimes you need that closure.
You need to know that it's not going to work.
And it needs to be on your terms.
And then you need to be over it.
And you need to be like, I did it and I know, I know.
I know. And I know.
Okay, so I have to just say it.
Yes, sure, fuck it.
Okay, so it looked to the world like you
and your ex, Shawn Mendes, kind of like dabbled
with the idea of getting back together about a year ago.
Yeah.
What was going on?
You know, I think it's like
what we were just talking about.
Like, yeah, yeah.
And you know, it's crazy because I just like,
I'm kind of like impulsive in that way, I would say.
Like I feel like if I feel it, I say it.
And I'm not really good at not doing that, like I said,
because then the worst place for it to live in is my mind.
And then I'm like, you know, Ryan Gosling
in the notebook building a house for this person.
So I would rather say it and, you know, see what happens
and then wake up the next day and find out
that it's been heavily documented.
I just like went, I opted for that route, but you know,
but it is what it is.
It was a great route.
It was a fun time.
It was a fun moment.
And you know, and I will always care about him and love him.
He's such a good person.
And I'm lucky, you know,
cause some people have exes that are awful and you know,
and he is not, he's a really kind, good person.
When you rekindle something with an ex,
I've done it myself, I find,
and I don't know if this is for you,
I find the second breakup is always a little bit easier
than the first initial.
Cause it's kind of already been over.
Then you try to rekindle again.
How did you guys make this huge decision to be like,
okay, we're moving on?
I think it was just like,
it wasn't even like a decision. I think you just kind
of are like, yeah, this doesn't really, it's not a fit. It doesn't feel right. And I think
luckily, you know, I was in a place in my life where it took me less time to realize
that. Like it took us both less time, like to be like, this doesn't feel right. And we
don't really need to like try so hard to like make it work. Like it's all good.
Like this is not feeling good.
Like let's be friends.
I love you.
I love you.
It's all good.
Let's move on.
You go do your thing.
You go do mine.
Become the person that you know that you're becoming and I'll root for you.
And that's it.
You know?
Getting back with an ex for a moment.
It is sometimes helpful
because it makes the first thing less hurtful
because you kind of relived it for a second,
you're like, check, still not right.
We can kind of now like fade off and be like,
it wasn't what we wanted and that's okay.
Yeah, and I think the worst thing that you can live with
is like a what if or a doubt.
What is your take on the idea of right person, wrong time?
Wow, that's a great question.
I don't think that there is such thing.
I feel like if it's the wrong time, it's not right.
It doesn't matter if it's, I think right person, wrong time
is still a way of keeping yourself tied to the person.
And it's almost like right job, wrong time, it's the wrong job.
Yes, so true.
You know?
So true.
Like it's like.
When you say it like that.
You know?
No, you're right.
There's just no such thing.
Like I feel like, I really, I feel like if,
if it's the wrong time and that makes it a person that's,
I love like just the simplicity of like,
it sounds so clinical and non-romantic,
but it's just not a fit.
When I met Matt, I was like, this isn't the right time.
I really wasn't looking for a relationship,
and I really didn't want a relationship when I met Matt.
I was like, fuck, but we made it work.
Because he was the right person.
I feel like there's no such thing really...
I mean, maybe there is such thing as..., I mean, maybe wrong time could be classified
as like long distance or you're going away or whatever.
But then in that case, it's just, it's not right.
Right, right.
Like if it's right person, you will find a way to make it work.
Yes, you will.
Yeah.
100%.
What do you personally think is the most difficult aspect from past experience of like going
through a breakup? I think it's like the experience of like going through a breakup.
I think it's like the, like a long-term breakup.
Yeah.
I think it's like the, it's really just like the,
the like, where does the love go vibe, you know?
Like you have so much like care and love for this person
and it just, it really does feel,
I've luckily up to this point in my life,
I haven't experienced loss, like real loss,
but it feels like loss, but that person is just still
out there and it takes your own restraint
reminding yourself why it's not the right thing
to keep you away from texting that person or whatever.
And also it feels very out of your control
because sometimes it's like,
I wanted it to be this person so bad.
I wanted it to be, but it's not.
And that feels really hard to let go,
to be like, I really wanted this to be it. But the fact that it's not that I
can't make this person who I wanted them to be. It's tough. It's really tough. Like you really,
it really feels like, like, you can't always get what you want kind of thing. I do kind of love how
you said that though. It's so true of like, where does love go? When I'm thinking of like, what would
my answer have been? I'm like, kind of similar where you're like, how did we love each other so much? And now it's not going to work. And we know the
reasons it's not working. But like we loved each other so much. Like how do we just like float away
from each other? And like, that's it. Yeah, it's like, where does the energy go? Right. I find like,
it was so funny after like, there's been breakups where breakups, where after I tell my best friends,
I'm like, can I just hold your hand more
and be more touchy with you?
Because that's a big love language for me,
as you've probably seen in videos,
is touch, physical touch.
And even the touch starvation after,
and you know what I mean?
It is really hard.
Like I'm like, can we just hold the hand?
That's when it gets tricky when you go through breakup
of like, do I miss him or do I miss the things
that came with having someone that I was in love with?
And that's really hard to discern of like,
I miss my best friend, I miss someone that's like
gonna hold me and like hold my hand.
And it's usually that I think for me in the past.
I agree.
You know, and that's where you really have to be like,
I didn't get what I wanted.
I really wanted this person to be this.
I really wanted us to be this, but.
It's not.
Yeah, it's not.
For all the girls listening,
I'm curious if you have any advice, I've been through it.
I think social media makes it so much fucking worse.
How do you handle from past shit of like,
when you know you and your ex are moving on
at different paces, how the fuck.
Oh my God, it's the worst.
I'm like, I'd be out here fucking stalking bitches.
It's torture.
It's just like, how do you handle it?
I don't even know if you have advice.
I really think it's like, I have been an absolute psycho.
Absolute psycho.
I love you for admitting that, because aren't we all?
And honestly, even worse when I was younger,
when I was younger, I would be dating a guy
and stalking his ex.
Camila. I'd be like,
what is wrong with me?
Everyone raise your hand in this room.
I still, honestly, I definitely like,
We all do it. It's been a while since I've been in like
a long-term relationship, but God, I was like,
he's like telling me he loves me.
And meanwhile, I'm torturing myself over somebody,
like he's not even with anymore.
It's like so crazy.
So hard.
The torture, I think like my advice would be,
I've gotten better at this is like,
I'm a big like mindfulness,
like a kind of Buddhist practitioner person,
not practitioner person, that sounds so fucking weird.
I know, like what?
But I think like self-compassion is really important.
When it comes to that stuff, it's like,
I could do something that's gonna really hurt me,
or I can put the phone down.
So fucking hard.
It's really hard, but you almost have to do it
out of kindness for yourself.
And I think like giving ourselves grace,
like it is normal to want to be interested in that shit.
Like I think it's so annoying when people are like,
oh my God, you like stalk your ex.
It's like, oh, fuck you.
Literally fuck you.
It's like, if this person was in your bed,
you used to have sex, you were intimate, you were in love.
Like, of course there's moments where you're like
eating a french fry one day and you're like,
oh, what is he up to?
It's like, it's natural.
Just like you're wondering what fucking kids
from middle school are up to
and you go on Facebook to look it up.
Oh my God, also like the people that don't admit that,
I'm like, oh, please like, you're not fun to talk to.
Like where is your like fucked up human side?
We're crazy.
We're crazy. Let us see.
Let us see.
Break up sex, are you a proponent?
Has it helped you in the past?
Does it ruin things for you?
So what does breakup sex mean?
Like you're like, this is over.
Oh.
But. Yeah. And then you do it, this is over. Oh. But.
Yeah.
And then you do it one more time.
Yeah, of course.
And like, have you found it makes it more messy
or is it more like, okay, bye.
I feel like if you're wanting to have breakup sex,
you're probably gonna hit each other up next week.
Like there's still something there, you know?
And like I said, I'm sorry, I'm a proponent.
Like I don't believe in the forbidden fruit.
If you want it, do it.
Kind of like date until you hate them vibe.
I don't actually hate anybody,
but I'm saying do it until it's out of your system.
And my friends really don't agree with this.
They're like, you're an idiot and we hate you
and don't ask me for advice anymore
because I'm sick of you.
But it's been helpful for me.
And you know, and I also think the,
I think the hard part is like sometimes you do waste
some time in that way.
Like you like are still entertaining something
and maybe there could be somebody out there that's better.
I think the point to close out the dating chapter is like,
everybody that's listening, like don't feel shame
if you go back to an ex, but protect yourself
in those moments of just knowing like what,
there could be an end date and just like,
just be okay with that.
And maybe there's not an end date.
Maybe you guys are gonna stay together forever.
I think it's just like-
And know why, know why you still keep going back.
Is it the sex?
Is it the chemistry?
Is it-
The emotional connection.
Is it your self-esteem?
Is it whatever?
Because I think like one thing that I feel like
I'm always trying to do, and I'm not trying to, whatever,
the risk of sounding, I'm not trying to sound preachy,
is like, I feel like always doing the inner work
and inner questioning of like, why am I doing?
Why am I doing this?
Why am I doing this?
And if you still wanna do it, do it.
But just know why you're doing it.
Like what you're getting out of it.
Your new music is on the way,
which everyone is freaking out about.
Did you hear it?
I did.
So I was at the hairdresser and I'm like,
where do I listen to this?
And I'm holding it up to my ear.
And I'm listening also like me obviously interviewing you.
I was like trying to listen to the lyrics.
Yeah, I'm like, what is she trying to say?
Which I love by the way, which I love.
It's so good.
Thank you.
It's everything.
Cause it's so fucking raw and it's so fucking real.
And I wanted to ask you just like,
what has it meant to you in the writing process
and everything?
Yeah, well, I think this is like my,
I love this quote by this poet, Rainer Maria Rilke,
that's like, live your questions.
Have you ever heard of that?
Wait, no, I love that.
I read this book, it was actually in COVID time
and it's called Letters to a Young Poet.
And there's this poet that's asking him,
like he has so many questions.
And I think he's like probably in his twenties.
And he's like, the one advice I can give you
is to live your questions.
And I feel like this was my Live My Questions album,
Live My Questions chapter, and it's like very,
really like sitting in the discomfort of things
and realizing there's not gonna be a neat in a box answer.
It's like, I feel strong in these ways, weak in this ways,
and there's no real clear answer here.
But yeah, the album process has been such a journey.
And it started off with me really having that intention
of going back to how it started for me,
which is just sitting with myself
and really getting back to that first passion of songwriting
and nerding out over references and artists
and poetry and whatever, and really tapping into that,
and then finding the collaborators
that would really help me.
I worked with this amazing producer named Pablo Elguincho,
and he really championed that for me.
And whenever I would get kind of nervous or doubtful
about like, you know,
should we bring any other co-writers in the room
or whatever, he'd be like, no, this sounds like,
you got this and we got this and we can do it.
And he brought in Jasper Harris
and three of us kind of like made this whole project.
And it turned into like,
I'm excited for you to hear the whole album
because it really is like,
kind of almost turned into like this very
like solidified songwriter voice for me
that became kind of like a persona in a world.
Which is the first time I've really done that
with an album where it's like,
has its own kind of color palette and mood and aesthetic
and sonic vibe and you know, it's like very,
it became kind of like its own world.
And then obviously like the people that I'm like
a huge fan of, like there was so many artists
that kind of came in and it's just been like so fun
and amazing.
I'm so excited for you because when I just read
some of the lyrics, it feels like we're actually just like
inside your brain, like reading your diary almost in a way. And I love how so much of it felt your
right of like this back and forth of like where your brain goes when you're in the middle of
situations. And it felt so real. And like when I was reading it, I'm like, Oh my God, I've experienced
this in my life before too. It was very relatable, but the way that you were able to articulate it
was just fabulous.
And I think so many women specifically,
I think are gonna be like,
you're speaking from my experience.
Yes, I've lived this and it's really cool.
It's also really cool because like the album aesthetically
and even like so many of the themes in terms of it,
it's like, you know, there's a lot of like lip gloss
and nails and whatever. It's like, you know, there's a lot of like lip gloss and nails and whatever.
It's like very hyper femme, which is so fun.
Cause it's like, I feel like I'm really tapping
into the fun of like the feminine experience
and sensuality and like even like the things that we do,
like the, you know, like all those like different.
The hair.
The hair.
The hair. No hair. The hair.
No, it's so good.
I'm so excited personally to hear the whole thing,
but I'm excited. I can't wait.
Because I think people,
the beauty of conversations like this is like,
I haven't really seen you like this online.
We're like, you really are like our girlfriends.
I feel like we're all friends with you now and I get you.
And you just feel like someone that is very like relatable.
That's why I wanted to do this podcast too,
because I was like, I feel like it's like very
for the girls and I feel like my album is like very
like for the girls and also like my,
so much of it was like, inspired,
it's so much of me and who I am is inspired by my friends.
And you know what I mean?
And like that dynamic and like, you know, drinking wine
and talking about like whatever the worst sex
you've ever had.
Like that's like, you know, that's very,
that's life.
That's life.
That's the best part of life.
What message do you hope fans take away from this album
when it comes out?
Ooh, that's a great question.
I really think it's live your questions.
And I would add a bonus to that is I think it's like really
embracing the playfulness of it.
Like the playfulness of being alive, of being a girl.
And I think that's honestly why so much of this album
has themes like, I don't know, like sex or whatever
is because it's playful.
And it's-
It's playful and it's hot.
It's hot and being hot is fun.
Yeah.
Like some of the lyrics I was like,
oh, Camila, like let's go.
Camila.
Well, I think it's like, just like this spirit of,
I think freedom and like just like ownership
and really just like owning your fucking life.
And I don't know, just like fucking being free
and being you.
I am so excited for you.
The daddy gang will support you the minute this comes out.
And I can't thank you enough for sitting down.
I know that you don't do this often
and like you're a fucking pro.
I could do this with you all day.
Well, me too.
And I knew that it would happen like that because I really was
like I was listening to your stuff and I was like oh this is a girl that like I
would be friends with you know but thank you for real for making me feel so
comfortable. You're so kind and I love you and I love this one and I love you too.
Thank you so much. You're the best. Thanks for watching!
