Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes might be loves young dream right now, but the couple almost didnt make Senorita together after drifting apart.

The real-life couple actually went back and forth about making the song for over eight months, before finally getting in the studio together to lay down the track.

Camila, 22, revealed: Shawn basically texted me the idea for Senorita last summer and I wanted to do it, and then I didnt want to do it, for whatever reason.

And then when I wanted to do it he was like “well, now I dont want to do it”. She told E!.

So we went back and forth for eight months deciding whether or not we were going to do the song together.

She added that they had drifted apart after not spending much time together before working on the project: It was so much fun, I mean I love him with all my heart and always have, and weve known each other for a really long time and weve always been there for each other.

I think we drifted just because we werent hanging out as much so it was just fun to be able to reconnect and hang out again.

And they did more than just hang out as the couple were subsequently spotted kissing in a variety of public places before making their relationship official.

Were pretty glad they did reconnect though, otherwise Senorita sounds like it never would have happened.

Its just as well Camila found love again after splitting from Matthew Hussey as she also revealed she find inspiration for her songs from being in love.

She explained: I think falling in love is the ultimate artistic inspiration because it opens you up.
