She is a pop, and Latin-influenced performer who first came to prominence as a founding member of the girl group Fifth Harmony. Born Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao in Cojimar, Cuba, Cabello moved to Miami, Florida at the age of six. Growing up in a Spanish-speaking environment (her mother is Cuban and her father is Mexican), she fostered her love of music by listening to Celia Cruz and Alejandro Fernández. At the age of 15, she auditioned for The X Factor in Greensboro, North Carolina. Even though she was eliminated (along with her four future groupmates), the judges brought her back. Simon Cowell combined the girls into a quintet and formed Fifth Harmony.
Despite finishing in third place, they went on to be the most successful contestants from that season. The group's debut EP, Better Together, was released in October 2013, with acoustic reworkings, Spanish versions (Juntos and Juntos Acoustic), and a remix album following a month later. Their debut single, "Miss Movin' On," was the highest-charting U.S. X Factor single at the time, a feat beaten only by each successive Fifth Harmony single.
The group's debut LP, Reflection, was released in early 2015, featuring the hits "Sledgehammer" (written by Meghan Trainor) and "Worth It," featuring rapper Kid Ink. While backstage on Taylor Swift's 1989 world tour, Cabello wrote a duet with Canadian singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes. "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was released in November 2015 and immediately hit the Billboard Top 20. Fifth Harmony's sophomore set, 7/27, was issued in 2016, supported by a world tour and the hit single "Work from Home."
Outside of Fifth Harmony, Cabello paired with rapper Machine Gun Kelly for the October 2016 single "Bad Things." Well received, the track made a slow climb toward the top of the Billboard singles chart, and ultimately garnered the singer her first Top Ten song as a solo artist. That December, Cabello announced her departure from Fifth Harmony. Following her exit, Cabello collaborated with Cashmere Cat on "Love Incredible" and Pitbull and J Balvin on "Hey Ma" from the Fate of the Furious soundtrack.
In May 2017, Cabello released her debut (non-album) solo single, the Sia Furler co-written "Crying in the Club," which peaked in the Top 40 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The promotional (non-album) single,"I Have Questions," was released a few days later. She also joined Bruno Mars as the opening act on his 24K Magic World Tour. New writing and recording sessions for her album were influenced by the success of her single "Havana" featuring Young Thug, which postponed its original release date and influenced the change of the record name from “The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving.” to “Camila.”
In early 2018 she returned with her debut full-length solo album, Camila, which debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200. It featured production by Frank Dukes, Jarami, and others. Buoyed by the number one single "Havana," featuring Young Thug, and "Never Be the Same," the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
In April 2018, Cabello embarked on the Never Be the Same Tour, her first as a solo artist. She was featured in "Sangria Wine", a song she recorded with Pharrell Williams. Cabello released the song live during her headlining tour. In May 2018, Cabello made a cameo appearance in Maroon 5's music video for "Girls Like You" featuring Cardi B. In the same month, she began performing as the opening act for American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift in her Reputation Stadium Tour in between the European leg of the Never Be the Same Tour. Cabello was featured in the remix version of "Beautiful", a song from American singer Bazzi. The song was released on August 2. On October 9, 2018, Cabello released the video single, "Consequences", having first surprised 12 of her biggest fans in advance, with a "Most Amazing Mystery Gift & Personal Letter".
On June 21, 2019, Cabello released "Señorita" with Canadian singer Shawn Mendes, along with the music video. The song debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and marks Mendes' and Cabello's second collaboration, following "I Know What You Did Last Summer" released in 2015. In August, "Señorita" climbed to the number one position, making it Cabello's second single to top the Hot 100 chart as lead artist. According to the IFPI, "Señorita" was the third best-selling song of 2019 globally. She is also a part of the song "South of the Border" by Ed Sheeran along with American rapper Cardi B, released in July 2019.
In October 2018, Cabello announced she would start working on new music in the new year after the holidays. In December 2018 she was nominated for two Grammys: Best Pop Solo Performance for a live version of "Havana" and Best Pop Vocal Album for Camila. Her performance at the ceremony made her the first female Latin artist to open the show. Cabello announced her sophomore album, Romance, which released December 6th, 2019. It debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 Chart and features two collaborations with Canadian singer-songwriter, Shawn Mendes and American Rapper, DaBaby. The fourth single, My Oh My, which featured DaBaby, has reached the top 20 in many countries and peaked at 22 on the Billboard 100 (As of March 2020).
In April 2019, it was announced that Cabello would star in an upcoming film adaptation of Cinderella, directed by Kay Cannon for Sony Pictures. Cinderella is set to be released February 5th, 2021 and will feature a soundtrack alongside the film.

Consequences
Camila Cabello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Dirty tissues, trust issues
Glasses on the sink, they didn't fix you
Lonely pillows in a strangers bed
Little voices in my head
Secret keeping, stop the bleeding
Lost a little weight because I wasn't eating
All the songs that I can't listen to, to tell the truth
Loving you was young, and wild, and free
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
Hesitation, awkward conversation
Running on low expectation
Every siren that I was ignoring
I'm payin' for it
Loving you was young, and wild, and free
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
No, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Said, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey, no ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Loving you was dumb, dark and cheap
Loving you will still take shots at me
Found loving you was sunshine, but then it poured
And I lost so much more than my senses
'Cause loving you had consequences
Loving you
Glasses on the sink, they didn't fix you
Lonely pillows in a strangers bed
Little voices in my head
Secret keeping, stop the bleeding
Lost a little weight because I wasn't eating
All the songs that I can't listen to, to tell the truth
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
Hesitation, awkward conversation
Running on low expectation
Every siren that I was ignoring
I'm payin' for it
Loving you was young, and wild, and free
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
No, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Said, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey, no ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Loving you was dumb, dark and cheap
Loving you will still take shots at me
Found loving you was sunshine, but then it poured
And I lost so much more than my senses
'Cause loving you had consequences
Loving you
in this song is not portrayed as something beautiful or positive, rather it’s seen as a regretful experience. The lyrics paint a picture of a broken relationship, with dirty tissues indicating that the aftermath of their relationship is still present, and trust issues implies that they broke each other's trust at some point. The reference to glasses on the sink that they didn't fix indicates that they have now moved on and lost interest in each other. Her describing the pillows in a stranger's bed is a way of expressing that she feels alone and that she's not in her safe space anymore. The little voices in her head might be memories of their relationship or her questioning why it didn't work out. She then opens up about the consequences of their relationship, saying that she lost weight because of not being able to eat, indicating that the pain affected her so much that it affected her health. All the songs that she can’t listen to, to tell the truth imply that the memories of their relationship are very unpleasant and that she cannot bear to remember them.
The chorus is a repetition of the phrase “Loving you was young, and wild, and free, loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet, loving you was sunshine, safe and sound, a steady place to let down my defenses, But loving you had consequences”. The phrase is repeated because the singer is trying to emphasize that even though there were good moments in their relationship, it still had consequences. The relationship was wild and free, but that freedom cost them. It was cool and hot but also cheap and caused hurt for both parties. They felt safe with each other, but eventually got hurt. Loving someone has its consequences, and in her case, the consequences were painful.

She sings it with great emotion and I love it but this was not her experience and she had nothing to do with writing it.
Ed Sheeran is one of the world's biggest singers and songwriters, but he's also good at pitching songs to his artist friends, namely Camila Cabello.
Camila crossed paths with Ed several times when working on her debut album Camila, even recording a song that he wrote for her, before then deciding not to include it on the final tracklist. One song that did make the cut was Consequences; while not written by Ed, he was the one who introduced Camila to it.
Amy Wadge, the country music songwriter who co-wrote the song, has explained to Music Week how the song ended up on Camila's lap. It was down to one middle man, Mr Sheeran. When asked whether the song was written for Camila in mind, Amy confirmed that it wasn't:
"No. I wrote it with Nicolle Galyon and Emily Weisband, then played it to Ed and he said, ‘You know who you need to send this to?’ So he sent it to her [Camila], she worked her magic, wrote a bit as well and that’s how it came to life. He’s always got my back, he’s a very generous soul and he always listens to everything I do. He’s incredibly generous like that."
