In the whirlwind of pop culture, few departures have sparked as much speculation and intrigue as Camila Cabello’s exit from Fifth Harmony in 2016. Now, in a candid conversation on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Camila Cabello has shed light on her decision to part ways with the chart-topping girl group.
For Camila Cabello, the departure wasn’t merely a career move; it was a pivotal moment of self-discovery. “I started distancing myself from the group vision,” she revealed to host Alex Cooper. “It didn’t feel aligned anymore.”
Amidst the grueling demands of touring, Camila Cabello found solace in her songwriting. “I can remember waking up on tour and going to my hotel room at, like, 7 a.m. and going to my garage band and, like, writing songs,” she recalled. It was a passion that ignited her desire to pursue a solo career, a path she ultimately embraced.

Initially, Camila Cabello envisioned herself behind the scenes, crafting hits for other artists. However, her creative journey took an unexpected turn. “I eventually changed my mind,” she admitted. “I wanted to write and perform my own lyrics.”
And perform she did. Following her departure, Cabello soared to new heights with a string of Top 10 hits, including the infectious “Havana” and the soulful “Señorita,” a duet with her ex, Shawn Mendes. Her success affirmed her decision to pursue her solo aspirations.
Yet, amidst the solo stardom, Cabello cherishes her time with Fifth Harmony. “I feel like I can really focus on and remember the really joyful times,” she reflected. “And I grew a lot in that group.” Despite the departure, Cabello looks back on her former bandmates with fondness and gratitude.
Now, as rumors swirl of a potential reunion, Camila Cabello remains open to the possibility. An insider revealed to Page Six that talks are underway to bring all five members back together for a new Fifth Harmony song. Importantly, the reunion would not overshadow Cabello or Normani’s upcoming projects, allowing each member to pursue their individual endeavors while celebrating their shared legacy.
The potential reunion marks a significant milestone, six years since the group declared their indefinite hiatus. Reflecting on the past, Fifth Harmony’s announcement of Cabello’s departure in 2016 was met with mixed reactions. Yet, despite the initial turbulence, it seems the dust has settled. Cabello and her former bandmates have found common ground, supporting each other through messages and mutual respect.
As the landscape of pop music continues to evolve, Camila Cabello’s journey serves as a testament to the power of self-discovery and the pursuit of one’s passions. Whether as a member of Fifth Harmony or as a solo sensation, Cabello’s star continues to rise, illuminating the path for aspiring artists everywhere. And as rumors of a reunion swirl, fans eagerly await the next chapter in the story of Fifth Harmony.
