Camila Cabello flashed her toned figure in a steamy, new music video alongside rapper Lil Nas X which officially dropped on Wednesday for their single, He Knows.
The Senorita songstress, 27 – who recently revealed the name of the celebrity she lost her virginity to – was joined by the Old Town Road hitmaker, 25,
as they humorously fought over the same boy throughout the clip.
The upbeat track was released earlier this month and is found on her upcoming, fourth studio album: C, XOXO, which will be available on June 28.
The video kicked off with Cabello arriving at a crowded nightclub with a group of her close friends following close behind.
She flaunted her fit physique wearing a sparkling, blue bikini top as well as matching bottoms that were partially concealed by a mint green, cutout minidress.
Her blonde locks were parted to the side, and effortlessly fell down straight past her shoulders.
Camila additionally slipped into a pair of open-toed, silver heels and opted for mini earrings as well as a glittering choker that offered a flashy flare to the fashionable look.
As she made her way through people that were dancing to the beat, Cabello could be heard singing the lyrics, ‘I think he knows/When I play with him like that/When I say it to him like that.’
The songstress then stood a table with her pals as they enjoyed shots, and a man inside the club soon caught her attention.
He could be seen leaning against a wall while sporting a plain white shirt as well as a leather jacket that contained hues of yellow, white and black.
The clip jumped to Camila dancing with the man as lights flashed around them and the star continued to sing, ‘She’s a provocateur/Dancefloor connoisseur/S**t week, so Friday for sure/Tell the girls we’re takin’ a detour.’
Cabello then had the chance to showcase her dance skills as she took part in choreography with other backup dancers.
As she grooved to the tune, the video cut to the beauty dancing with the mysterious man while also jumping to a mannequin wearing his same outfit.
Lil Nas X then appeared inside the bustling nightclub, and also caught sight of the man who was still dancing with Camila.
However, he stepped up to the pair and began dancing with him, causing Cabello to storm away in frustration.
While also singing lyrics, the rapper performed his own choreography in a shimmering, silver and black-patterned tank top and fitted, black pants.
The star also added various silver-chained necklaces and for a final touch, opted for vibrant blue contacts.
‘On the real, I’ma take his soul (All that)/I’ma take him from his h**s (Okay)/On the real, I think he knows,’ Lil Nas X sang.
The clip jumped to Camila performing a steamy dance number inside a small space with brightly lit floors and concrete walls.
The video humorously cut away from the beauty’s choreography to her jumping onto Lil Nas X’s back as she playfully fought him over the man in the club.
During their scuffle, the pair knocked over the mannequin and the music abruptly stopped playing.
‘Oh my God, he’s…,’ Camila began, with the rapper jumping in to finish her sentence by saying, ‘He’s bald?’
Cabello then pointed out, ‘He’s plastic,’ but Lil Nas X jokingly added once again, ‘But he’s also bald!’
The pair appeared to push aside their rift and began singing alongside each other inside the now-empty space.
The video concluded with the two stars standing outside together and the rapper told Camila, ‘Let’s promise to never fight over a boy again.’
They both did a ‘pinky promise’ but then the same man from the nightclub appeared next to them for a smoke break, causing them to break off their promise.
During a recent interview with Rolling Stone in an article published on Wednesday, Camila opened up about the premise of the music video.
‘I’ve just never seen that in a video before. I just loved the idea of us fighting over this fluid guy, who we don’t know which way he’s leaning.’
The Fifth Harmony star added, ‘We both would have so much fun with this and have so much fun with the video, so we got to make it a reality.’
‘We had this stunt coordinator at rehearsals. It’s always hard to even fake fight with your friends because you’re like, “Oh, I got to get into my acting bag, and I might kind of do some damage.”‘
‘And he’s tall as hell, so even getting on his shoulder took me a couple of times. But it was fun,’ she said in regards to her fight scenes with Lil Nas X.
She also talked to the publication about her anticipated album and gushed to the outlet, ‘This is the best project I’ve ever made, and I have never been so proud of a body of work.’
‘It’s just such a world. My favorite albums are when I really get to live in a lyric or live in an aesthetic of an album.’
Cabello also recalled to Rolling Stone while both she and Lil Nas X were recently heading to a nightclub to promote the track, they got trapped in an elevator inside her building.
‘Panic attacks were happening left and right, honey. People were dropping like flies emotionally, but me and Nas, we were cracking jokes – but were low-key terrified.’
She explained the elevator was stuck for ‘a good hour’ and that, ‘The mirrors were steamed up like it was a shower because it was so hot and there was no AC.’
Camila later added, ‘It was just so crazy. It brought us closer together though. Nothing like a trauma bond during a single release.’
The music video drop comes shortly after Cabello revealed that she lost her virginity to ex, Matthew Hussey, when she was 20-years-old.
The pair dated between 2018 and 2019, and she explained on the Armchair Expert With Dax Shepherd podcast that the experience had been ‘beautiful.’
‘I had my first relationship at that time. I had actually listened to his podcast before… because he had, like, a dating podcast. And he is married now, so congratulations.’
Hussey was also Camila’s first boyfriend and she stated, ‘It was late for my first relationship. I was 20.’
‘That was my first time having sex. First lovemaking was at 20, 21…It was literally lovemaking. It was beautiful,’ and added that Matthew had been a ‘great partner.’
Also on Wednesday, Camila was spotted flashing a cheerful smile as she enjoyed a brief coffee run in sunny Los Angeles.
The songstress donned a long-sleeved, black cropped top as well as a pair of low-waisted, red sweatpants.
Cabello’s hair was parted in the middle, and styled into loose braids that fell down behind her back.
As she made her way through a crowded parking lot, the star held her arms out while carrying an iced coffee and her smartphone in her left hand.
