Camila Cabello has finally opened up about the rumoured fall out she endured when she quit pop band Fifth Harmony in pursuit of solo success.
The 25-year-old singer was a member of the hit girl group which consisted of Ally Brooke, 28, Dinah Jane, 24, Lauren Jauregui, 25 and Normani Hamilton, 25, and was formed on the American version of The X Factor in 2012.
The group went on to release two Top 20 albums before Camila abruptly quit the group in December 2016 – with the remaining ladies going on to release a third album before announcing in March 2018 that they were going on indefinite hiatus.
Rumours have rumbled ever since Camila quit the group that there was animosity between the ladies – and now the Cuban-American beauty has hinted at her true feelings about her former band in a new song titled Psychofreak.
Lyrics to the song include the lines: “Everybody says they miss the old me, I been on this ride since I was 15 / I don’t blame the girls for how it went down, down.”
Meanwhile, the star has said she has kept in close touch with her former bandmates since she quit the group just over five years ago.
She told The Sun: “We have been supportive of each other through DMs and stuff. I’m in a really good place with them.
“That song is basically about anxiety and all of the different things that have made up my journey with anxiety and starting off really young in the industry.”
Fans will also get an insight into Camila’s break-up from Shawn Mendes now that her third solo album, titled Familia, has been released.
The couple topped the charts around the world with their single Señorita in 2019 and were an item from July 2019 until November last year.
Camila has now channelled her heartache into some of her new songs – and said that it was a form of therapy for her to work through her grief.
She E! News: “There was a time when my anxiety felt so bad, I was like, ‘I don’t feel like I can go in the studio. I don’t feel like I can work. I don’t know’.
“And so the only way for me to go to work every day was to be honest and be myself.
“And if I didn’t go to work and was just waiting for myself to feel better before I did that . . . it’s just a paralysing feeling.”
She continued: “My life was so bad and so painful that I was like, ‘If you tell me that eating s**t off the ground will make me feel better, I will do it’.
“I was like, ‘Yes, of course, therapy. All of it’. I just felt so vulnerable. It was so hard to talk about [the split].
“It was the first time I talked about those things that I’d only ever talked to my mom and my therapist about.
“You’re going to reach a point where it’s your only option. Look for that feeling because that’s when something intervenes and helps.”
