Lana Del Rey Hypes Up Camila Cabello’s New Song: ‘I Luv It’
Published on May 14, 2024
On Saturday (March 23), the “Summertime Sadness” songstress took to Instagram to show some love to Cabello’s recently teased song.
“i luv it,” Del Rey captioned two black-and-white photos of the “Senorita” singer.
In one snapshot, the newly blonde artist is seen with a lollipop in her mouth and the “Parental Advisory” warning on the bottom right. The other image finds Cabello donning an off-the-shoulder white top while flipping off the camera and flashing a subtle smirk.
The former Fifth Harmony member took to the comments section of Del Rey’s post, leaving a series of crown emojis. She also shared the post in her Instagram Story on Saturday.
In early March, Cabello shared a 30-second teaser of what appears to be her upcoming untitled single, accompanied by the caption “coming soon(er than you think).” In the brief clip, she’s riding in the passenger seat of a car, her blonde tresses whipped by the wind, as she sings an exuberant, summery pop ditty.
“I’m seeing stars/ Oh my God/ I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it,” Cabello joyfully exhales in her breathy voice, adding, “I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it,” while making a hand heart in the song that features a sample of Gucci Mane’s 2009 single “Lemonade.”
Cabello’s last album was 2022’s Familia, which featured her No. 21-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit “Bam Bam.”
During an early March episode on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the musician said the making of her upcoming album has been “such a journey.”
“It started off with me really having that intention of going back to how it started with me,” she told host Alex Cooper. “Sitting with myself, and really getting back to that first passion of songwriting.”
Del Rey, meanwhile, announced in February that her next album, Lasso, will arrive in September. The announcement arrived while she paid tribute to Jack Antonoff at the Billboard and NMPA Songwriter Awards in Los Angeles on Jan. 31.
”If you can’t already tell by our award winners and our performers, the music business is going country. We’re going country. It’s happening,” she told the crowd. “That’s why Jack has followed me to Muscle Shoals, Nashville, Mississippi, over the last four years.”
Del Rey’s forthcoming release is the follow-up to 2023’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart.
