As she prepares to drop her first single since leaving Fifth Harmony, Camila Cabello is opening up about the pain behind her solo album.
The 20-year-old singer shared three clips from the video for "Crying in the Club," which will be released on Friday, and penned a heartful note about her album, The Hurting, the Healing, The Loving.
"The Hurting, the Healing, The Loving is the story of my journey from darkness into light, from a time when I was lost to a time when I found myself again," she tweeted on Sunday.
"The story behind the album starts with the second song that you'll hear called 'I have questions' which I started writing in a hotel bathroom on tour a little over a year ago," Cabello continued. "I was completely broken during that time, I was in the kind of pain that's uncomfortable to talk about, and it was the kind of chapter you never want to read out loud... I couldn't write another song for 6 months because writing meant I had to feel everything, and I wasn't ready to do that yet."
Cabello went on to explain how she eventually went through a period of writing "a sad song every day." Once they were out of her system, she found herself writing more positive music, healing and finding happiness.
