Camila Cabello dropped the official video for “He Knows” featuring Lil Nas X. Directed by Onda (Big Sean, Dukwrth, JID/J Cole), the clip features ‘a provocative dancefloor battle between friends vying for the attention of a mutual love interest.’ Camila shares that Lil Nas X is a “low-key comedian. He was just making me laugh so hard. It makes sense that he is successful because he has pushed the culture forward in so many ways.”

Cabello recently told Rolling Stone of her new album: “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.”

Regarding the video for ‘He Knows,’ Camila said: “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. 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.”

“He Knows’ is taken off Camila’s new album, C,XOXO,   To celebrate the release of the album, Cabello is set to perform at this year’s Rock In Rio Lisboa on June 23rd, and the UK’s famed Glastonbury Festival on June 26th.
