The album's first single, "I Luv It," featuring Playboi Carti, was released on March 27, but failed to become a hit, stalling at No. 81 on Billboard's Hot 100. But Camila didn't give up on the track, she performed it during a surprise appearance during Lana De Rey's headline set on the second weekend of Coachella.
In an interview with Paper magazine, Cabello talked about the inspiration behind the song. "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 told the magazine. "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."
Fan reaction to the announcement on Instagram was mixed. "Hopefully the other songs are better than what we got so far because I don't luv it," wrote one commenter.
Another wrote, "THE ALBUM OF THE SUMMER ALREADY."
A third opined, "The fakest rebrand ever."
