Camila Cabello and Lil Nas X are fighting for love. The pop star recruited Nas X for “He Knows,” and the mannequin-filled clip arrived on Wednesday (May 22).
Onda directs the grungy visual, which centers around a dance battle at LA hot spot gay club Heart Weho. Cabello makes the first move by attracting attention on the dance floor in a sparkly bra and skirt.
The “Panini” artist doesn't even pay attention to Camila, locking eyes with the man in the barren nightclub, creating a fluid situation as she tries to grab him from the Fifth Harmony alum.
Cabello isn't thrilled with Lil Nas X's robbery, and jumps on his back as they fight only to realize that the guy she was drooling over happens to be a mannequin.
“Oh my god, it's plastic,” Cabello says in shock.
“But he's also bald,” Nas X replies, bringing the tension out of the room.
They promise to never fight over a boy again, but that quickly goes awry when another man steals their attention outside the club.
“I just loved the idea of us fighting over this fluid guy, where we don't know which way it's going,” Cabello said. Rolling Sta of the video. “We'd both have a lot of fun with it, and we'd have so much fun with the video, so we've got to make it happen.”
“He Knows” arrived on May 10 and is the second single from Camila Cabello's C, XOXO The album, which will be released on June 28. The bop follows the Playboi Carti-assisted “I Luv It,” which entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 81.
“This is the best project I've ever done and I've never been more proud of my body of work,” she said of her upcoming LP in RS. “It's such a world. My favorite albums are when I can really live in a lyric or live in an album aesthetic. She really is a complex, fascinating girl, C,XOXO. It really is.”
