Camila Cabello auditioned for The X Factor in Greensboro, North Carolina. She auditioned with Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”, however, her audition was not aired because the TV show did not get the rights to the song. After elimination during the “boot camp” portion of the process in Miami, Florida, Cabello was called back to the stage along with Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Lauren Jauregui, and Dinah Jane to form the girl group that would later become known as Fifth Harmony. After finishing in third place on the show they signed a joint deal with Syco Music, owned by Simon Cowell, and Epic Records, L.A. Reid’s record label.
On December 18, 2016, the group announced Cabello’s departure, with both parts explaining different circumstances of the exit.

In May 2017, Cabello announced the future release of her first studio album, at the time titled The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving., which she described as “the story of my journey from darkness into light, from a time when I was lost to a time when I found myself again.” Her first solo single “Crying in the Club” was released on May 19, 2017, followed by a performance at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. She joined Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic World Tour as an opening act for several of its dates. The singer also partnered with clothing brand Guess as the face for their 2017 Fall campaign.
