Camila Cabello has announced that her upcoming album “C, XOXO” is slated for release on June 28.
The singer initially launched this new era with the project’s debut single “I Luv It” featuring Playboi Carti in late March. The track, produced by El Guincho and Jasper Harris, featured a sample from Gucci Mane’s 2009 single “Lemonade” and peaked at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100. She performed the single at Coachella with a surprise appearance during Lana Del Rey’s headlining set on the event’s second weekend.
“Certain things in our human realm do make me feel like I’m in outer space, and the very rare few times where I’ve had incredible chemistry with someone is one of them,” she told Paper magazine of the song’s original inspiration. “Part of that cocktail is also the emotional drama between you and that person, and the chaos and butterflies and nerves and passion. It’s unsustainable and not peaceful and exhausting, but also, I LUV IT.”

The former Fifth Harmony member last released “Familia” in 2022, featuring the singles “Don’t Go Yet” and “Bam Bam.” Prior to that, she dropped her eponymous debut solo album in 2018, followed the next year by “Romance.”
Outside of music, Cabello appears in the indie drama “Rob Peace,” which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. In the movie, she plays the girlfriend of the titular character (actor Jay Will) who is forced to sell drugs to help pay for his incarcerated father’s legal issues.
“I felt a story like this needed to be told,” Cabello said at the PvNew Studio presented by Audible in January. “People have told stories like this in an overly simplistic way… people coming from difficult circumstances; binary ways of looking at success and failure. In reality, it’s more complex than that.”
