This is going to be Camila Cabello’s first, solo debut album and Camila is now sharing the details about her track list, the songs that made it onto her album and the one’s that ALMOST didn’t.

After her hit single ‘Havana’ reached to the top of the iTunes charts, Camila dropped another two brand new tracks, ‘Never Be The Same and ‘Real Friends’ and well, story goes that ‘Real Friends’ almost didn’t make it onto the album but thank goodness it did!

love and loneliness. these are some of my favorite songs on my album- i finished real friends 2 weeks ago and it almost didn't make the album because deadline was so close.. this song is about feeling lonely and disillusioned by people in LA while i was away from home….. never be the same to me is what falling in love sounds like, it's intoxicating and reckless and feels like flying. i hope u love these as much as i do ??http://smarturl.it/Camila_NBTS http://smarturl.it/Real_Friends

According to MTV, “It turns out that “Real Friends” — which aches with homesickness and disillusionment, thanks to the time she spent in L.A. — nearly didn’t make it onto Camila due to the last-minute nature of the song’s recording, but it’s a good thing it did considering it’s one of her faves on the record.”

As for ‘Never Be The Same’, “If you need a musical definition for the beautiful, intense process of falling in love, this will do the trick, as it’s all “intoxicating and reckless and feels like flying,” explains MTV.

SET THE DATE! Camila will be available Jan. 12

suddenly i'm a fiend and you're all i need
