The record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has reached No 1. on 100 countries on iTunes. The album has been certified Platinum in the US and Silver in the UK. Billboard, Pop Crush, and Rolling Stone have picked Camila as one of the best albums in 2018 so far. Speaking of the album in an Instagram post, Camila had described songs on the album to each have ‘special memories behind them’, and that it feels ‘emotional letting them go’ as it marks ‘the end of a chapter’ of her life. Furthermore, she elaborated on why she changed the title of the album, saying that: I decided to call it by my name, because this is where this chapter in my life ended. it started with somebody else’s story, it ended with me finding my way back to myself. ’ In an interview with Zach Sang, Camila revealed that the album wasn’t written about one person or relationship in particular: They’re different people. It’s not really one person throughout the album. And some of this stuff are about relationships or people that happened way before and I just got the chance to reflect on it. I feel like there’s always that person up until the moment you meet somebody else, there’s always that person that, when you think about love, you think about that person. The lead single of Camila is the highly successful track “Havana,”, replacing Camila’s first solo release, “Crying In The Club,” which was scrapped from the album. Although she was happy with the success of her lead sing, Camila didn’t want her whole album to sound like “Havana”: With “Havana”, I knew people would want me to do “Havana part. 2”, part. 3, part.4, and part. 5, and have all of the songs be bangers. But I just don’t feel like it’s accurate to anybody because then it would be like this one-dimensional thing.
