1. Shawn Mendes was one of the first people to hear the album. Cabello said she played the finished album for her mom, and her manager Roger Gold first, before sharing it with Mendes. His favorite song on Romance: the brassy, told-you-so anthem, “Should’ve Said It.” 2. Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift both name “First Man” as their favorite track from Romance While visiting Sheeran in Nashville, Cabello played a rough cut of her song “First Man” for him. The gentle ballad, inspired by the singer’s relationship with her father, immediately struck a chord with Sheeran, and Cabello says he called it his “favorite song” that she’s ever done, urging her to finish recording it. The following night, Cabello went over to Swift’s place in Nashville and played the song for her, too. The singer says Swift had the same reaction. “First Man” became the first song Cabello wrote for Romance, and one that she says was the most “emotional” and “vulnerable” for her to record. 3. Cabello loves all 14 tracks on her album but… Cabello says she hasn’t been able to listen to “Bad Kind of Butterflies” ever since she first recorded it. “It takes me back to a time when I was always feeling anxious,” she said, about the sparse, bass-heavy track, who finds the singer desperate to get something off her chest but unsure of how to break the news to her presumed lover. “Just thinking about writing [the song] makes me want to throw up,” she said, half-jokingly. “I don’t even like hearing that song.” 4. She likes surprising Mendes with impromptu visits “I love surprise flights,” Cabello confessed, when asked about the most romantic thing she’s done for a partner. “I’ll fly somewhere to see someone, even for just a day,” she confessed. Cabello played coy when asked where she’s flown to recently, though fans at the pop-up yelled out “San Francisco!” alluding to photos of the singer sharing a kiss with Mendes in the Golden Gate City over the summer. The city — and possible rendezvous — is also referenced in the song, “Used to This,” with Cabello purring: “No, I never liked San Francisco / Never thought it was nothin’ special / ‘Til you kissed me there.” 5. Writing about romance came naturally to her “I’m not going to write songs about making money and being a bad bitch,” Cabello said, when asked what inspires her music. “That’s just not what’s important to me and that’s not who I am.”
