Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Real Friends. By Songfacts®.

Camila Cabello pours her heart out about the heartbreak of being let down by her flaky, unreliable friends during this laid-back ballad. Too many of her supposed pals have proved to be fake. I'm just lookin' for some real friends All they ever do is let me down Every time I let somebody in Then I find out what they're all about Speaking with Elle about spotting fake friends, Camila said. "I think the only way to know is time. I feel like there are instances and circumstances in your life that always change. You can think someone's your friend, and it could be out of convenience, or there was something in it for them, or whatever."

The song has a similar theme to Cabello's track "I Have Questions," which was inspired by the heartbreak of a once close friend rejecting her.

This nearly didn't make it onto Camila as the songstress only finished the track in late November 2017, just meeting the album completion deadline.
