The song was originally conceived during a studio session between Charli XCX, Ali Tamposi, Jack Patterson of Clean Bandit, and Andrew Watt, the last of whom produced the song. Watt, prior to the studio session, created a guitar melody that he described as being reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and José Feliciano. He played the guitar melody during the studio session where ideas for melodies and lyrics were created to accompany it. The melody and lyrics for the chorus of the song eventually formed, including what would become the opening line, "I love it when you call me señorita".[5][6]
Watt sent the rough chorus of the song to Shawn Mendes, suggesting that the song be recorded as a duet, to which Mendes agreed and said that Camila Cabello would be "the only person" with whom he could do the song. Watt then sent the song to producers Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat who liked it and began to work together on the production of the song, deciding to keep it simple to make room for the vocals.[5]
Mendes and Cabello both made changes to the melody and lyrics to their liking. After the song's key changed and Cabello recorded some vocals, Watt had a flight to England and planned to record Mendes' vocals on a day off from his tour after his Manchester Arena show. However, Watt, to Mendes' amusement, accidentally blew the microphone by forgetting to change the conversion of power to 220V on the power box. This forced Watt to record Mendes' vocals at the Birmingham Arena, angering Mendes throughout the process because he wanted to preserve his voice for his then-upcoming shows at the O2 Arena.[5] The end product is a Latin pop song,[7][8] written in the key of A minor, with a common time tempo of 117 beats per minute (BPM), with the vocals ranging from A3 to F5.[9][10]
Mendes and Cabello had worked together on writing lyrics through FaceTime until they met up at a studio a mere few weeks before the song was released. Cabello had been tweaking lyrics and recorded vocals multiple times. Cabello conceived the lyric, "You say we're just friends but friends don't know the way you taste", as the song was already in the process of being mixed, forcing Mendes to record new vocals and sing new harmonies. Their chemistry in the studio was lauded by producer Benny Blanco, who praised their talent and "energy in the room".[5][6]
Music video
The song's official video was premiered on YouTube on June 21, 2019. The video, directed by Dave Meyers, filmed in Los Angeles, sees Mendes and Cabello in Miami. Cabello portrays a waitress working at a small diner, and Mendes is a newcomer to the city. They meet at the diner, and later see each other at a party. He then takes her on a motorcycle ride and they go to a hotel where they proceed to make love. In the end, however, they are separated, and it ends with Mendes looking out into the ocean and Cabello being consoled by a fellow waitress on their break.[11] As of December 2024, it has more than 1.7 billion views.
The video received positive reviews online. Teen Vogue described the music video as "steamy" and "complete with a health dose of romantic salsa dancing and heartbreak".[12]Bustle said the song "keeps things appropriately hot and steamy".[13]Metro in the UK called the video "sizzling".[14]
Promotion
Both Mendes and Cabello first hinted at a collaboration in December 2018.[15] They began teasing the project on social media in June 2019,[16] with each sharing a 20-second video teaser.[17] They uploaded teasers of the song's music video to their social media accounts on June 19, 2019.[18][19] The former confirmed it as a single later that day along with its release date and artwork.[20]
Live performances
Mendes and Cabello performed the single at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards on August 26, 2019.[21] On September 5, 2019, Cabello performed an acoustic version of the song on Elle's Women in Music Party presented by Spotify in The Shed[22] On September 6, during the Shawn Mendes: The Tour live show in Rogers Centre, Toronto, Mendes and Cabello performed "Señorita".[23] Cabello also performed a solo version of the song at the 2019 iHeartRadio Festival,[24] and at a private fan performance hosted by Verizon.[25] On November 24, 2019, Mendes and Cabello performed the song at the American Music Awards. On September 26, 2021, Mendes and Cabello performed the song at the 2021 Global Citizen Live. On May 28, 2022, Cabello performed the song in the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final.[26][27]
Shaad D'Souza from The Fader praised the single for being effortlessly steamy and wonderfully lightweight, concluding that although Cabello is clear MVP, the song would fizzle without Mendes as her foil.[28]
Billboard ranked the song at number 18 on their "The 100 Best Songs of 2019" list: "The mid-tempo Latin track is lightweight but a grown-up evolution for both Mendes, a former Vine star, and Cabello, the former Fifth Harmony belter. With eight writers sharing credit, it would seem like it should be a few too many cooks, but they still conjure a spicy dish: Who can forget lines like Cabello's, "You say we're just friends, but friends don't know the way you taste"?"[29]Marie Claire placed "Señorita" on their "The Best Summer Songs of 2019" list.[30]
Insider Inc. ranked "Señorita" at number 2 on their "The most overrated songs this year, ranked by popularity" list: "The simple fact is that "Senorita" would not have permeated our radio stations or racked up these streaming numbers if Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello hadn't combined its release with a very PDA-focused tour."[31]Jezebel placed it on their "The Worst Music of 2019" list.[32]
