As anticipation and excitement reach fever pitch, Camila Cabello unveils her anxiously awaited sophomore opus, ‘Romance’ [SYCO/Epic Records].
The three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum, and chart-topping singer/songwriter set the stage for the 14-track event-level record by way of a series of powerhouse singles. Señorita with Shawn Mendes already soared past 1 billion streams, topped the Billboard Hot 100 at #1, and received a platinum certification from the RIAA. Its success remains unparalleled as “the most-streamed song of the year on Spotify,” “second fastest song in history to surpass 100 million streams on Spotify,” “the biggest single-day debut for a male-female duet in Spotify history,” and “the most liked music video of 2019 on YouTube.”
Among numerous awards and accolades, it received “Song of 2019” at the People’s Choice Awards, “Collaboration of the Year” at the American Music Awards (where she also dueted with Shawn), “Choice Summer Song” at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards, and “Best Collaboration” and “Best Cinematography” at the VMAs. Plus, it garnered a nomination at the 2020 GRAMMY® Awards in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.”
Due to “Señorita,” the 22-year-old made history as the youngest person to earn two #1s on the Hot 100 since Justin Bieber in 2017 and the youngest woman since Rihanna in 2010. It marks her fourth #1 at Pop Radio and her second Hot 100 #1.
Maintaining her cultural and musical dominance, she closes out 2019 as “the #4 most-streamed artist on Spotify.” This week, “Liar” leapt past 240 million streams, Shameless exceeded 100 million streams, and Easy eclipsed 50 million streams.
Adding another dimension to the campaign, she brings ‘Romance’ to life with her “Album Art Living Museums” activation where fans can unlock the artwork from the ‘Romance’ packaging at various album inspired exhibits in 50 locations worldwide, including New York and Los Angeles. This is a first for the superstar, as she unites eras by inviting true interaction in a live venue.

‘Romance’ represents the height of Camila’s singing and songwriting prowess thus far. Highlighted by her vulnerable writing and instantly recognizable voice, it unfolds as a journey into her most intimate thoughts on relationships, heartbreak, and love—filtering her experiences into a bold body of work. She delivers on each track, especially the powerhouse collaboration My Oh My [feat. DaBaby] where she teams up with hip-hop’s biggest breakout star of 2019 for a boundary breaking banger. From Shameless through the finale First Man, this is Camila at her most poignant, passionate, and powerful. This is Romance.
