Camila Cabello opens up about the “crippling” anxiety she felt while making her new album, “Familia.”
In an interview with People, Camila Cabello described it as “the worst mental health state ever.”
“I was cripplingly anxious … I took a break at the beginning of the pandemic. I started doing therapy [and] trying to feel better,” she said.
The 25-year-old said, Her struggles will be evident in her upcoming album.
“I just word-vomited into a mic in the form of a melody. It really doesn’t get more personal than that. I was all stream of consciousness,” she said.
Camila Cabello is now in a better place, and Cabello attributes that to her vulnerability and efforts to heal.
“There’s a sense of trust in myself that I feel like I didn’t have before because I was so anxious all the time,” she told People. “I really feel like I’m living my truth and I’m speaking my truth.”
In November, Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes broke up. It is unclear whether Cabello’s new album will address their past relationship.
Cabello is no stranger to using social media to be vulnerable. Last year, she posted a TikTok in which Cabello encouraged women to embrace their natural bodies.
“Familia” is set for release Friday.
