Camila Cabello Admits Not Focusing On Music While Dating Shawn Mendes

JAKARTA - Singer Camila Cabello opened her voice for the first time about her relationship with Shawn Mendes, which ran aground last year. She admitted that the relationship made her not focus on music.

“As I got older, the priorities changed. And I think it's like that for both of us," Camila Cabello said during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music.

"We both started (careers) young. So it feels like we're really learning how to be healthy adults. My priorities changed over the course of my life,” she explained.

This opinion was also expressed by the Cinderella player in her new song with Ed Sheeran entitled Bam Bam. The lyrics tell of a relationship that ends when they are adults and accept their circumstances.

"I love Shawn, and I don't think there's anything but love for him. And this song is about, 'OK, how do I make a song that shows the cycle of love and life?” Camila Cabello explained.

Camila Cabello wasn't in a rush to find a new partner. She wants to return to focus on music and develop his acting.

Shawn Mendes also expressed his feelings after breaking up with Camila through the song It'll Be Okay. "I feel like I haven't spoken to you in a long time," said Shawn Mendes.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello announced their relationship was ending in November 2021 after two years of dating. The two are committed to staying friends even after their romance is over.

“We decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for each other as humans will be stronger than anything. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to do so," Shawn and Camila said in a statement.
