Following the release of ‘Don’t Go Yet,’ Camila appeared on Apple Music’s ‘New Music Daily’ with Zane Lowe, where opened up about her new single and upcoming album, “I want it to be that kind of family affair selfishly because it would make me happy.  It would make my life better and that’s what I want, so that’s really what I was trying to manifest with this whole album.”

Talking about the new single, Camila says, “And I think ‘Don’t Go Yet’ is just, I think, sonically and melodically, just me being free. I think being in Miami for so long and having more family around me and speaking Spanish more made me feel, I don’t know, just kind of brought me back. I think my roots went deeper in a way that I really needed. And I think this album for me was a manifestation. The name of my album is Familia.”

 

Like many other celebrities, the COVID-19 pandemic allowed Camila to separate herself from the spotlight, “Obviously [COVID] was a terrible thing, but I think for my personal life and my brain, it was really good to slow down, and so I was like, ‘Oh, this is…’ I don’t know. I just kind of learned how to be, I think, a human and develop interests and passions outside of the studio and outside of music and outside of that.

Camila continues, “And I think that that brought me really close to my family. There’s the word ‘family’ in terms of your immediate literal family and for me, it’s also your chosen family: your friendships and your relationships, in that broader sense. And I think, for me, that was neglected for so long too, because I was never in the same place for more than a week or two. So I think this was a chance for me to really consciously work on and invest in what I think makes me and human beings truly happy, which is your relationships and your connection to the people around you.”

 

 

 

 

‘Don’t Go Yet’ also made its late-night debut on The Tonight Show less than 24 hours after its release.
