I Luv It

Camila Cabello Reveals That Part Of Her ‘I Luv It’ Video With Playboi Carti Wasn’t Part Of The Plan

by

Camila Cabello did a recent interview appearance on Power 106 Los Angeles, where she opened up about how part of the “I Luv It” music video wasn’t entirely planned.

As Playboi Carti appears in the video for their collab, he had been running late and they decided to film in a gas station.

“Something happened with his plane, it was, like, this whole insane… chaos with the video,” Cabello shared. “He got there after the music video was actually wrapped, so we had to find a place to film his part of the video.”

“We ended up paying the guy that worked at the gas station to let it stay open for us,” she added. “So [Carti] got there and my mom had the… video screen and was low-key kinda directing. We had to beg the crew to stay.”

Thankfully, it all worked out, even if things were a bit hectic in the moment. Carti and Cabello got along really well. She wound up getting him on a song simply by sending him a DM on Instagram. “I said, ‘Hey, butterfly,” she pointed out in a separate interview for Apple Music. “And then he said, ‘CC,’ and then I said, ‘Carti.’ It was really cute.”

Camila Cabello has kicked off her new era. Today (March 27), the Cuban hitmaker has shared her new single, “I Luv It,” which features the elusive Playboi Carti.

Over a frenetic beat, Cabello finds herself in a state of infatuation, embracing young love. “Super twisted, sick addicted / Kiss me hard, like someday you’ll miss this / In your shower, in your power / Seein’ stars, oh my God,” she sings in one of the song’s verses.

The song also features a prominent sample of Gucci Mane‘s “Lemonade.”

“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,” said Cabello in a statement. “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”

In the song’s accompanying video, Cabello and Carti make a thrilling escape, dodging obstacles like exploding cars, home invasions, and fires. But the two reunite in a Miami bodega, dancing their way through the delusions of love.
