Enough of the BS about the performance. It's getting blown our of proportion on this forum. I haven't heard anything about it outside of the forum. Camila haters always try to find something. Anyway this got a +528 update today and moved up to #32 on Mediabase.

I get the points people are trying to make, but she literally is poking fun of her own culture. She’s not mocking somebody else’s.

This scandal is being completely exaggerated, A white man spray tanned his face for the Music video and suddenly there are people claiming that Camila Cabello was being racist. If part of the reason as to why she is receiving this Backlash is because of those Racist posts that she wrote when she was an Adolescent even though she apologized for writing those posts then I really can't understand why they can't just forgive Camila instead of holding a grudge towards her.

The fact that she continues to rely on racial controversy to drum up attention after everything that's happened in her past is so demented to me.
Nice radio update today though.

My stance on the matter is that I feel like she should have avoided it completely just cause of her racist past cause well it's gonna be taken with some offense. I'll give her benefit of the doubt because it is based off an idea that was used in old television shows which seems to be the key inspiration for this upcoming albumand was the obvious inspiration for the music video.
With that said, the song is still a bop and the performance was good despite that mess up. I hope for her sake her team and her handle this stuff with a little more thought before executing it.

I get the optics on a totally shallow surface level and I get the issue with her past and it painting people's perceptions. But Twitter is of course approaching this with no nuance of thought. A white guy with a bad spray tan is not blackface (quick, somebody go hide George Hamilton).
This is why I abhor Twitter and think it's the most toxic social media platform. A couple hundred bored people with no lives and zero context get worked up and all of a sudden it's a "backlash" or a "movement." Then the dumbass news media desperate for clicks reports on it allowing it to build steam. As soon as we all realize Twitter isn't the real world, the better off we'll all be.

TBH if it wasn't for Pulse I wouldn't even know she has a new song out. Let alone the "outrage" (in reality, most people don't give a fuck).

How is this doing on Spotify on its second day? US and globally? Moves down to #40 on Global with 1.7M. Drops to #42 on the US chart with 428k. I think unless things turn around on streaming, the best case scenario here is looking like "My Oh My" (a radio hit that ultimately doesn't add much to her career).

The song just came out 2 days ago, much too early to worry about streaming, a lot of people haven't heard the song yet, goes for adds on Tuesday.

You’re not wrong until you do exactly what you’re angry about others doing. Hopefully everyone can learn, including you, bestie.

You know, after going through racial sensitivity training (which...do we think she even went or just claimed she did?) I figured she would know that painting someone's face to look a different race as a joke is probably not the move, even though I get what they were going for lol. I haven't heard a whisper about this scandal online though, but also I haven't really seen anything about her or the song at all. It's weird. I thought she was still huge with young people? It will be interesting to see how this does on streaming. I like her but no kids/teens aren’t stanning her. I don’t think she has a huge fanbase. She is a good entertainer and is probably very reliable with producers of shows etc. She is doing a good job right now.

She’s still a racist, inside & out. I don’t know why there’re people still support her. stay pressed this is probably the douchiest response you could’ve typed to a comment like that, congratulations

This song is so good. I’m surprised cause latin pop is pretty much always a miss for me and this has even more intense production. That’s one of the most addictive hooks of the year so far and I don’t usually praise Camila Cabello easily so that’s a win for her.

I totally forgot how messy Camila threads have been (thanks to you) ... and since the song still hasn't clicked with me, I have no reason to remain updated, yay!
