Camila Cabello is spreading the luv…
The 27-year-old Mexican and Cuban singer/songwriter has released her latest single “I Luv It,” a collaboration with Playboi Carti.
On the high-octane track, Cabello repeats the titular phrase breathlessly as synths whirr around her words, then a sample of Gucci Mane’s classic single “Lemonade” drops, before Playboi Carti slides in to mumble some game before the single collapses.
The track is the first release from Cabello’s forthcoming album, which is set for release this summer.
In the music video to “I Luv It,” directed by Nicolás Méndez at CANADA, Cabello appears to be in her villain era as she pours herself a glass of gasoline and drinks it, is chased by the police dogs and seemingly fantasizes about taking a gun and destroying her bed by firing bullets — all due to a broken heart.
In the end, Cabello is in a hospital waiting room after an arrow was shot through her heart.
“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 said in a press release.
Adding, “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.”
