Love her! Hope the album is good.

[LukeB]

So none of the songs she released so far (I have Questions,Crying In The Club,Omg and Havana) are going to be on album. Her album will be all new songs that we haven't heard

Camila Cabello on the success of Havana and the status of her debut album: "Life's too short to be afraid"

Given you’re a Latin pop aficionado, what acts from that genre should we be listening out for that we may not have discovered yet?
“Ooh don’t even get me started! There’s this pop-rock band I absolutely love called Camila, coincidentally. They’re the reason I can’t take off my last name, even though I really want to. Also, a pop-rock band called Maná and J Balvin, who’s obviously killing it right now. Did you hear the remix with Beyonce? That’s crazy right?! Also a Cuban band called Gente de Zona.”

Has Havana’s success changed things for your debut album? It was originally supposed to be released this month…
"It’s made me want to write more songs and it’s showed me that I should trust my gut more. Havana has been the defiant song but I always thought it was important to put out music that feels authentic to me. Havana doing well feels like the universe’s way of saying, 'keep doing that, don’t be scared to take risks.'"

When can we expect the album then?
"I think it’ll come at the top of next year. You know, you only have one chance to make a debut album and at this point I have so many songs I’m passionate about. You know those albums where they are clearly songs that aren’t as good as the singles. I want every song to be single-worthy.

"I can’t imagine releasing something that isn’t that. For example, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Havana – I’m so proud of it and I want to feel that way about every song. I have a lot of songs I feel that way about already, but for the amount I want to have on that album, I want to feel that way about every song."

Are we talking 80% finished?
“I think that’s a good number.”

As you're on the phone to us now, you're going through airport security. Basically, nobody can accuse you of not working hard. How disciplined do you have to be these days?
“Oh yeah, this is something I’ve… I think it’s such an important quality. You know that quote that’s like success is 10% talent and 90% hard work. I really believe that. I’ve known some hugely talented people that got left behind because they didn’t want to work hard.

“For me, I just love this. I love what I do and I often tell myself this thing I once saw on Oprah. It was don’t do something for the outcome, do it for the work and because you want to have something great in your portfolio, for you. I love proving that I can do things for myself, rather than for someone else.”

What’s the best song you’ve written so far?
“There’s a song I’ve written called Never Be The Same. I love love songs and I feel like that song captures what it feels like to be in love. That, and it was the easiest song to write. I did it in like an hour. Compare that to Havana, which took months.”

You’ve been in the music industry now for five years; what advice would you give your 15-year-old self?
“To trust your gut and that life’s too short to be afraid, so why not just go for it, you know? When time runs out when you’re older, I don’t want to think, ‘man, why was I so nervous? I should have just gone for it.’ That’s what I tell myself now. I’m 20, but my biggest fear is being an old lady and thinking I wasted so much time being scared and worrying what people thought about me.”

Her solo album has been delayed until 2018. I think Havana/Omg will be on the album just not Crying In The Club/I Have Questions

"There's nothing I wouldn't do for Havana"
Yeah except promote it outside of like 1 US TV preformance or release a video when it's really taking off and peaking

It's either her team not releasing it yet or she wants the video to be perfect

[RileyH]

I thought she released a video for it? Except it's blocked in the UK

[LukeB]

After weeks of climing the charts, spending 3 weeks at #2 on the official charts and 3 weeks at #1 on itunes Havana has finally charted at #1

[RileyH]

yass

[Cal.]

Yaaasss! Queen!

[JerseyWins]

Wait are those all of her songs? Didn't know she was that new I just thought I never heard of her until Bad Things.

She got on the scene with a bang with Bad Things.
