Camila Cabello has delighted fans by releasing her highly-anticipated single 'I Luv It', which features rapper Playboi Carti. The 27-year-old 'Senorita' hitmaker had previously teased the song's release, even attending a Miami Heat basketball game wearing a jersey adorned with the words 'I Luv It'.
Now, the wait is finally over, as the song is out now, as well as an accompanying music video which was shot in Miami. Speaking about the song, Camila said: "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.
"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'.
This comes after Camila opened up about her fourth studio album, giving fans an insight into what they can expect from it. Speaking to Puss Puss magazine, the singer said: "I just really wanted to challenge myself.
"What excites me the most is to do things that I've never done before. I think it is part of a kind of reinvention. I feel like so much of the album has a through line and there's definitely more themes that the album touches."

That same year, she also auditioned for The Voice, however after making it through the producer round, decided to pursue her dreams through The X Factor instead.
At just 15-years-old, the Cuban-American beauty passed on her own Quinceañera, instead asking her parents to spend the money on taking her to the North Carolina X Factor auditions. Camila was eliminated during the bootcamp stage of The X Factor, in Miami, Florida, however thankfully was soon called back to join fellow contestants Ally Brooke, Normani, Lauren Jauregui and Dinah Jane, forming the girl group that would later become known as Fifth Harmony.
In December 2012, Fifth Harmony finished in third place on The X Factor. On the show, they were mentored by none other than show-producer Simon Cowell himself, and shortly after finishing third they signed a joint deal with Simon's Syco Music and Epic Records.
