Camila Cabello released her new single “Chanel No.5” on June 21, 2024, as part of her upcoming fourth studio album, C,XOXO.
The song is a sensual and dynamic track that reflects the letter C of the album title. The lyrics describe a confident woman who knows how to play her cards right and make her desires come alive. The song features a catchy chorus and sensual verses that explore themes of taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound.
Cabello described the world of C,XOXO as a sensory experience, drawing parallels to elements like red chipped nails symbolizing imperfection and being tongue-tied akin to shibari.
She expressed her desire for listeners to immerse themselves in the same sensory realm she inhabited while crafting the music.
Chanel No 5 Camila Cabello Lyrics
I got Chanel No.5, he’ll never survive, it’s a crime, it’s a crime
He watch when I whine, I know, I know it’s a crime
I know what he likes, a cat eye, a black dress, it’s just a reminder
I’m seein’ in desire arise in his eyes, so, lucky for them
Cute girl with a sick mind
I know just how to play my cards right
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel No.5
If I want him, he’s all mine
I know just how to fuck with his mind
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel No.5
Fold for me like origami
Magic and real like Murakami
Red chipped nails, I’m wabi-sabi
I’m the heartbreaker, nobody’s got me, yet
Make you tongue tied like new shibari
Subtle and complex like umami
Up to me like omakase
I’m a wild horse and nobody’s got me, yet
Shouldn’t trust it that I want you, baby
‘Cause I love you, love-you-not like daisies
But this gloss I got is cute and tasty
She’s an extra, I’m your leading lady
Cute girl with a sick mind
I know just how to play my cards right
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel No.5
If I want him, he’s all mine
I know just how to fuck with his mind
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel No.5
I’m a dog, woof-woof, and my tooth is gettin’ long
I’ma hog the mic, take a bite, peek-a-boo thong
I just, ah, I just, woah, I’m just writin’ all my wrongs
Now I’m high rise, sky high, it’s like I’m King Kong (I got, I got, I got)
I got violence like Tarantino (Tarantino)
Wearin’ all pink, all Valentino (Little Valentino)
Sparkle in his mouth like Pellegrino
I’m a real problem, he doesn’t know it yet
Shouldn’t trust it that I want you, baby (Yeah, yeah)
‘Cause I love you, love-you-not like daisies (Yeah, yeah)
But this gloss I got is cute and tasty
She’s an extra, I’m your leading lady (Yeah)
Cute girl with a sick mind (With a sick mind)
I know just how to play my cards right (Yeah, right)
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel No.5
If I want him, he’s all mine
I know just how to fuck with his mind
Wrist, wrist, spritz, spritz, make him come alive (Ah)
Chanel No.5
Chanel No.5
