Coming months after her breakup with Shawn Mendes, “Bam Bam” is Camila Cabello’s anthem about moving on and accepting inevitability in losing a partner. Things change, and one can’t dwell on that for too long.
The track was inspired by a saying of her mother, “Así e' la vida” (English: “That’s how...
[Verse 1: Camila Cabello]
You said you hated the ocean, but you're surfin' now
I said I'd love you for life, but I just sold our house
We were kids at the start, I guess we're grown-ups now, mmm
Couldn't ever imagine even havin' doubts
But not everything works out, no
[Pre-Chorus: Camila Cabello]
Now I'm out dancin' with strangers
You could be casually datin'
Damn, it's all changin' so fast
[Chorus: Camila Cabello]
Así e' la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
Yeah, love came around and it knocked me down
But I'm back on my feet
Así e' la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
I was barely standin', but now I'm dancin'
He's all over me (Goza)
[Post-Chorus: Camila Cabello]
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam (Así e' la vida)
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam
[Verse 2: Ed Sheeran]
It's been a hell of a year, thank God we made it out
Yeah, we were ridin' a wave and trying not to drown
And on the surface, I held it together
But underneath, I sorta came unwound
Where would I be? You're all that I need
My world, baby, you hold me down
You always hold me down
[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran, Ed Sheeran & Camila Cabello]
Well, I've been the breaker and broken
Every mistake turned to moments
Wouldn't take anything back
[Chorus: Both, Camila Cabello & Ed Sheeran]
Así e' la vida, sí (Así e')
Yeah, that's just life, baby
Yeah, love came around and it knocked me down
But I'm back on my feet
Así e' la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
I was barely standin', but now I'm dancin'
She's all over me (He's all over me)
[Post-Chorus: Camila Cabello & Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello]
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam (Ahí, ahí)
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Ba-da, bam-bam-bam-bam
(¡Pónganle azúcar, mi gente!)
[Bridge: Camila Cabello & Ed Sheeran]
Y sigue bailando, hey
Y sigue bailando, a-ha
(Keep dancin', yeah)
Y sigue bailando
(Keep dancin', yeah)
Y sigue bailando (Hey), a-ha (Hay amor en todos lados)
Y sigue bailando (Keep dancin', yeah) (Sigue, sigue, sigue bailando)
Y sigue bailando (Hey) (Hay amor en todos lados)
Y sigue bailando, woah (Sigue, sigue, sigue bailando)
[Chorus: Camila Cabello, Camila Cabello & Ed Sheeran]
Así e' la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
Yeah, love came around and it knocked me down
But I'm back on my feet
Así e' la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
I was barely standin', but now I'm dancin'
She's all over me (Hey, hey)
[Outro: Camila Cabello & Ed Sheeran]
Now I, now I'm dancin' (Keep dancin', yeah)
Now I, now I'm dancin' (Keep dancin', yeah)
Now I, now I'm dancin' (Keep dancin', yeah)
(Ba-da, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam)
And now I'm dancin' (Keep dancin', yeah)
Now I'm dancin' (Keep dancin', yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
