'Cause you haunt me any time I'm dreamin' / And it's time you know the feeling." All of that anger builds to a guitar-driven bridge where Camila really releases that pent-up anger. It's not so much about wanting your ex back, however wishing they would hurt just a little bit. Because doesn't each person wish to be cried over at some point?!

Not so fast." She added, "This has been one of my main go to songs off this album since we wrote it, it's a whole lotta rage."


"Cry For Me" marks the third taste of Cabello's upcoming sophomore album, Romance; it follows the joint release of "Shameless" and "Liar," which she performed live for the initial time at last month's iHeartRadio Music Awards. Romance doesn't arrive up until early next year, yet the "Señorita" singer hinted this week that she'll be "releasing a bunch of new music over the upcoming months leading up to the hotly anticipated LP. Gotta love a generous pop queen!
