Camila Cabello isn't playing around with her upcoming debut solo album, "The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving". After releasing two singles "Crying in the Club" and "I Have Questions" from the set, she has now confirmed that she worked with A-list musicians for the project, such as Ed Sheeran, Charli XCX and Pharrell Williams.
In a recent interview with Beats 1's Zane Lowe, the 20-year-old singer revealed that the album would feature Ed-assisted song titled "The Boy", another song she worked with Pharrell called "Havana" and one she has with Charli named "Scar Tissue". She also has two other songs with OneRepublic's frontman Ryan Tedder and Major Lazer.

Although her solo career has been successful, Camila revealed that it was not easy to leave Fifth Harmony to be a solo artist. She said, "I think that happened to me as I was discovering my voice as an artist. Especially as a songwriter, I just felt like I needed to express that and it was just time to, you know, sing my story and sing words that were coming from my heart as opposed to words that people were writing for us."
She further claimed that her departure from the group wasn't a "safe option." She shared, "Obviously, me leaving the group at that point in time when we were really the most successful, is not the safe option, you know what I mean? The safe thing would've been to just stay and keep singing the songs and keep doing the choreography."
She continued, "And who knows if this is going to be successful for me? Nobody really knows. But I just know that I'm proud of it and I'm so happy to be making music that's authentic to me and that I'm gonna look back on and be super proud of."
