His/Her Biography | Despite finishing in third place,
they went on to be the most successful contestants from that season. The
group's debut EP, Better Together, was released in October 2013, with acoustic
reworkings, Spanish versions (Juntos and Juntos Acoustic), and a remix album following
a month later. Their debut single, "Miss Movin' On," was the
highest-charting U.S. X Factor single at the time, a feat beaten only by each
successive Fifth Harmony single. The group's debut LP, Reflection,
was released in early 2015, featuring the hits "Sledgehammer"
(written by Meghan Trainor) and "Worth It," featuring rapper Kid Ink.
While backstage on Taylor Swift's 1989 world tour, Cabello wrote a duet with
Canadian singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes. "I Know What You Did Last
Summer" was released in November 2015 and immediately hit the Billboard
Top 20. Fifth Harmony's sophomore set, 7/27, was issued in 2016, supported by a
world tour and the hit single "Work from Home." Outside of Fifth Harmony, Cabello
paired with rapper Machine Gun Kelly for the October 2016 single "Bad
Things." Well received, the track made a slow climb toward the top of the
Billboard singles chart, and ultimately garnered the singer her first Top Ten
song as a solo artist. That December, Cabello announced her departure from Fifth
Harmony. Following her exit, Cabello collaborated with Cashmere Cat on
"Love Incredible" and Pitbull and J Balvin on "Hey Ma" from
the Fate of the Furious soundtrack. In May 2017, Cabello released her
debut (non-album) solo single, the Sia Furler co-written "Crying in the
Club," which peaked in the Top 40 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The
promotional (non-album) single,"I Have Questions," was released a few
days later. She also joined Bruno Mars as the opening act on his 24K Magic
World Tour. New writing and recording sessions for her album were influenced by
the success of her single "Havana" featuring Young Thug, which
postponed its original release date and influenced the change of the record
name from “The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving.” to “Camila.” In early 2018 she returned with
her debut full-length solo album, Camila, which debuted at number 1 on the
Billboard 200. It featured production by Frank Dukes, Jarami, and others.

"Never Be the Same," the album debuted at number one on the Billboard
200. In April 2018, Cabello embarked
on the Never Be the Same Tour, her first as a solo artist. She was featured in
"Sangria Wine", a song she recorded with Pharrell Williams. Cabello
released the song live during her headlining tour. In May 2018, Cabello made a
cameo appearance in Maroon 5's music video for "Girls Like You"
featuring Cardi B. In the same month, she began performing as the opening act
for American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift in her Reputation Stadium Tour in
between the European leg of the Never Be the Same Tour. Cabello was featured in
the remix version of "Beautiful", a song from American singer Bazzi.
The song was released on August 2. On October 9, 2018, Cabello released the
video single, "Consequences", having first surprised 12 of her
biggest fans in advance, with a "Most Amazing Mystery Gift & Personal
Letter". On June 21, 2019, Cabello
released "Señorita" with Canadian singer Shawn Mendes, along with the
music video. The song debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and
marks Mendes' and Cabello's second collaboration, following "I Know What
You Did Last Summer" released in 2015. In August, "Señorita"
climbed to the number one position, making it Cabello's second single to top
the Hot 100 chart as lead artist. According to the IFPI, "Señorita"
was the third best-selling song of 2019 globally. She is also a part of the
song "South of the Border" by Ed Sheeran along with American rapper
Cardi B, released in July 2019. In October 2018, Cabello
announced she would start working on new music in the new year after the
holidays. In December 2018 she was nominated for two Grammys: Best Pop Solo
Performance for a live version of "Havana" and Best Pop Vocal Album for
Camila. Her performance at the ceremony made her the first female Latin artist
to open the show. Cabello announced her sophomore album, Romance, which
released December 6th, 2019. It debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 Chart
and features two collaborations with Canadian singer-songwriter, Shawn Mendes
and American Rapper, DaBaby. The fourth single, My Oh My, which featured
DaBaby, has reached the top 20 in many countries and peaked at 22 on the
Billboard 100 (As of March 2020). In April 2019, it was announced
