Camila Cabello is just 20 years old and she’s already gained a huge base of loyal fans. She’s just recently announced two new songs, and the news created an excitement in her circle of followers. The titles “Never Be The Same” along with “Real Friends” are not just random lyrics and music to her. They describe a hard time in her life that lets the world in on a little secret.
Debut album tells all
Camila’s debut album became available on December 7, 2017. The “Real Friends” track on the album gives the world a little insight into what was going on during her time with the girls. She had good reason for leaving the band Fifth Harmony. In her own words, the only thing that the girls from the group had ever done for her was to “let her down.”
Camila was a different kind of girl
Many fans are wondering why Camila was an outcast in the group. The other members of the group, Ally Brooke, 24, Lauren Jauregui 21, Normani Kordei 21 and Dinah Jane, 20, were into different things. They liked to party and go out on the town, but Camila preferred to stay in. She made it clear that she wasn’t comfortable with them. They lyrics of her song discuss feelings and disappointments, broken trust and “switching sides.” Given the ages of these young ladies, it seems that they should be well past the teenage drama that this is starting to sound like. Has Camila written the song to point a finger at them? We can’t say for certain, but it is a lot like Taylor Swift’s approach to dealing with an ongoing feud with fellow singer Katie Perry.
Moving forward
Regardless of the intent of the song, it does talk about drawing the line and moving forward, which is precisely what Camila has done. It’s time to open a new chapter in her life and get on with the living. The second new song is all about love. The artwork for the cover of her new album is the creation of her 9 year old sister Sofia, which is a wonderful touch.
Healing from the wounds
Most of us have been in a similar situation as Camila and after you’ve been hurt by the people in your group, it takes a while for the wounds to heal. Perhaps the song “Real Friends” is her way of expressing the hurt and getting it out so she can begin the healing process. With her new album out, she’s on the right track to holding her head high and moving her career in a positive direction. Whether the girls in Fifth Harmony like or dislike her, she’s not letting any of that get her down. From all indications, Camila Cabello is on a strong career track with fans who expect her to carry on and continue to produce the music that they love to listen to. She’s an amazing and talented artist that people can’t seem to get enough of. Time heals the hurts, and success is a nice distraction during that process.
