With the release of her salsa and cumbia-infused “Bam Bam” featuring Ed Sheeran for her birthday on Thursday, Camila Cabello delivered the azcar to all the right places.
The Cuban-Mexican diva matures from a breakup in the earworm lyrics, learning to dance the agony away with a “c’est la vie” attitude. On the chorus, she says, “As es la vida, s/Yeah, that’s just life, baby.” “Yeah, love knocked me down/But I’m back on my feet,” she says.
Camila Cabello’s song “Bam Bam,” released months after her separation with Shawn Mendes, is about moving on and embracing the reality of losing a lover. Things change, and one shouldn’t linger on it too much.
