"Señorita" is a smooth Latin love song in which Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello croon about their fictitious romance. I love it when you call me señorita I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya "Señorita" is the Spanish equivalent of "Miss" in English, and is a way of addressing an unmarried woman. The Cuba-born Cabello loves it when Canadian-Portuguese Mendes calls her that name.
Mendes and Cabello previously collaborated on the 2015 hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer." The pair formed a close friendship when recording that song and knew they wanted to work together again. "Señorita" had been in the works for about nine months before its release on June 21, 2019. Mandes and Cabello began dating for real the following month. Their romance continued until November 2021, when they announced their breakup via Instagram.
The sensual Dave Myers-directed video finds the motorbike-riding Mendes hooking up with diner waitress Cabello. They dance the night away before things get really physical in a hotel room. Cabello admitted in a live chat she needed some Dutch courage to calm her nerves before shooting the steamy scenes with Mendes. "The whole music video was funny because we were both really nervous. I had to drink a lot of wine!" she laughed.
