Camila Cabello is a force of nature in the pop world today, but we all fell in love with her from the beginning of her career in Fifth Harmony. And now, she is looking back on her time in the group, alongside Normani, Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke and Dinah Jane.
In a new interview with Nyon Magazine, Cabello talked about dealing with anxiety while being in the spotlight for the first time, recalling, "I don't know if I was struggling more than a normal teenager should, because it's hard to say what's normal, whether you're famous or not." She added, "My barometer wasn't functional. It was more than a person should bear [in that situation]. I think conflict resolution is really important, especially when it comes to a group. Those are skills you don't have when you're 16 years old. How do you deal with being left out? How do you deal with jealousy? How do you deal with these things without hurting yourself or other people?"
But, life skills aside, Camila remembers all of the good times she had with her former bandmates, and after running into Normani at Paris Fashion Week a few months ago, she explained, "I remember times when we'd just be laughing so hard. With space, we can go back and tap into that. The past couple of times I've seen her, I say something and she laughs really hard. It doesn't feel like we're strangers. We're getting back to the times when we were really close."
Cabello released her most recent album, C,XOXO over the summer, which includes hits like "I Luv It," "He Knows" with Lil Nas X and "June Gloom."
