Familia included popular singles like “Don’t Go Yet” and “Bam Bam” featuring Ed Sheeran, which reached Nos. 42 and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.
Collaborations and Soundtracks

Album’s Lead Single: “I Luv It”
Earlier this year, Cabello released the lead single for the new album, a song named “I Luv It,” which also features Playboi Carti.
The song samples Gucci Mane’s “Lemonade” and shows Cabello interpolating Rihanna. Produced by El Guincho and Jasper Harris, it reached No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Cabello performed “I Luv It” at Coachella, surprisingly appearing during Lana Del Rey’s headlining set.
Inspiration Behind the Music
Discussing the inspiration behind “I Luv It,” Cabello shared:
“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. 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.”
The Album Creation Process
In an interview on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, Cabello described C, XOXO as her “live my questions album.” She elaborated:
“It’s really sitting in the discomfort of things and realizing there’s not gonna be a neat, in-a-box answer. I feel strong in these ways, weak in these ways, and there’s no real clear answer here.
“But the album process has been such a journey. It started out with me having the intention of going back to how it started for me, which was just sitting with myself and really getting back to that first passion of songwriting. Nerding out over references and artists and poetry — whatever — and really tapping into that.”
