Camila Cabello is back with some fresh beats—and they’re packing enough emotional punch to fuel a soap opera marathon.
The 27-year-old pop diva, who last graced our playlists with C,XOXO in June 2024 (an album that, let’s just say, didn’t exactly burn up the charts—think more “campfire” than “wildfire”), is steering her musical ship in a brand-new direction. And by “new direction,” we mean she’s about to drop a song that sounds like it was written with a quill dipped in revenge juice.
Her new track, ominously titled Godspeed, has been teased on Instagram like it’s a Marvel movie. Camila shared a single, deliciously shady lyric on Friday (August 30), leaving fans scrambling to dissect it like they’re auditioning for the next season of CSI: Pop Star Edition. The lyric? “I wish you well, but far away from me.” Ouch. That’s basically the musical equivalent of waving someone off with a smile while secretly praying they move to a Wi-Fi dead zone.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the song drops on September 6—so set your reminders because this is gonna be the track that everyone side-eyes their ex to.
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: Who’s the poor soul getting roasted in this lyrical bonfire? Is it her ex, Shawn Mendes? You know, the guy who used to share stage chemistry with her that could light up a small city? Or could it be aimed at Sabrina Carpenter, Shawn’s other rumored flame who possibly, maybe, might’ve written her own track about this love triangle? (Look, we’re not saying Sabrina’s new song *Taste* is about Camila and Shawn, but let’s just say subtlety is not trending in pop lyrics right now.)
To add even more fuel to this glorious drama, all three—Camila, Shawn, and Sabrina—are set to perform at the MTV VMAs on September 11. So, buckle up for the most awkward musical family reunion since Fleetwood Mac had to share a stage again.
Will Godspeed be Camila’s sweet revenge anthem, or just a casual “good riddance” bop? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: it’s gonna be the soundtrack to a whole lot of tea getting spilled.
Watch the teaser below and grab your popcorn—because this is about to get spicy!
