The ‘Cinderella’ star continued, “Now I feel kind of lonely and small and weird, but at the same time, I’m an adult and I feel so strong in other areas of my life, but not this one."

“There’s just the wrestling of those feelings without it being kind of neat or in a box. You can’t really say that it’s a sad song, you can’t really pin it down.”

Camila Cabello calls her new record ‘love letter to Miami’

Though Cabello is reportedly single currently, her hometown Miami is her forever love.

She asserted, “I’m so thankful to Miami. I think that’s why I don’t really spend a lot of time in LA and people are still like, ‘Do you live in Miami now?’ I’m like, ‘I’ve never stopped living there. I’ve lived there since I was seven'."

The ‘Senorita’ hitmaker further mentioned, “I feel like this album is kind of a love letter to Miami, it’s definitely been a safe haven for me.”

“Anytime as crazy as life gets, I know I always go there and it’s real. It’s just like my real friends from when I was eight years old. My family, I still have family that’s coming from Cuba. It just keeps me very real and grounded,” Cabello added.
