Camila Cabello is celebrating the success of her latest song by treating fans to a glimpse of herself taking a dip in her swimsuit. In honor of "Bam Bam" hitting number five on the global charts, the singer penned a post sharing her gratitude. “I’m so damn grateful. When we wrote this song we were playing songs I heard in my childhood- songs that made my family sing, dance, and celebrate life. Celia Cruz- la vida es un carnaval- Marc Anthony- vivir mi vida. Un montón de estrellas - polo montañés. These songs in Spanish have important life messages about how life can break your heart, but we can also dance and sing and move our bodies through it. This song was me coming out of pain and into joy, from girlhood to womanhood, and putting in a song the wisdom that has been passed down to me from my mom and to her from her mom. Life has its up and downs; but you will laugh again and you will love again. As my mom says, QUE ME QUITEN LO BAILAO. This song is a god damn family heirloom on the radio . Music is sacred. And I’m so thankful to you all for listening. HAY AMOR EN TODOS LADOS. SIGUE BAILANDO. (There is love everywhere… keep dancing.)” she captioned it.

Camila is a big fan of meditating. “Meditation has changed my life in the last few months,” she wrote on Instagram. “I didn’t share this with you guys at the time because honestly I was just trying to be okay, but I was experiencing severe anxiety. it was meditation- it was practicing every single day multiple times a day that has been healing me, and, more than just helping me manage strong emotions like anxiety and stress, it’s making me a better human. not only does it help in times like this with stress and anxiety, meditation is the practice of strengthening habits like empathy, love, and compassion- making you feel more connected to not only everybody around you , but living beings in general like animals, plants, and the earth, which is a living being, itself.”
