A-List Pop

“When it was time to get back in the studio I was like, ‘Okay, I want to do this differently than I ever did it before,’” Camila Cabello tells Apple Music of the thinking behind “Don’t Go Yet,” a new single that headlines A-List Pop this week. “I want to just work with people that are my friends first and people that I build intimate relationships with, and I want to do it in an intimate way.” With that aim in mind, the Cuba-born star teamed up with her partner, singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, and his frequent songwriting partner Scott Harris at her home in Miami, before making the trip to Los Angeles to work with producers Mike Sabath and Ricky Reed. Featuring a live Cuban band, it’s a song about togetherness, inspired, in part, by being home again with family during the pandemic. “What I really wanted to manifest is collective joy,” she says. “‘Don't Go Yet’ is—sonically and melodically—just me being free. I think being in Miami for so long and having more family around me and speaking Spanish just kind of brought me back. I think my roots went deeper in a way that I really needed.” Add A-List Pop to your library to stay up on the latest and greatest pop music.
