Camila Cabello thrilled fans by debuting her highly anticipated collaboration with Drake, titled “UUGLY,” during her performance at the Rock in Rio Lisboa festival on Sunday night. The song will be featured on her upcoming fourth studio album, *C, XOXO*, set to release later this month.
Reactions to the track have been mixed on social media. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “Honestly I think Drake should just take off for a year or couple months,” referencing his recent dispute with Kendrick Lamar. Another fan noted, “Damn bro fell off.” However, positive feedback also poured in, with a Drake supporter saying, “The actual [goat emoji] international not just in the west coast. Levels to this.”
Camila Cabello & Drake Collab Story
In a Billboard interview in May, Cabello shared how the collaboration came to be. “He’s the f*cking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars,” she said, recalling how she reached out to Drake on Instagram. “I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough, and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a non-transactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”
She continued, “He wanted to do one more thing for the album. Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album … I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh*t.”
Fans can officially stream “UUGLY” when “C, XOXO” drops on June 28th.
