About OMG (feat. Quavo)

"OMG" is a song recorded by Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello featuring guest vocals from American rapper Quavo. It was released on August 3, 2017 as a promotional single alongside "Havana," from her debut studio album Camila (2018), originally titled "The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving. "OMG" was ultimately removed from the final track listing. The song was written by Cabello, Charli XCX, Noonie Bao, Sasha Sloan, Quavo and its producers Stargate. "OMG" has a slow, trap production that is characterized by use of double hi-hat rolls, flute flows and a smooth bass. In the lyrics, Cabello praises the appearance of her love interest while Quavo responds to her affirmation in his verses, where he also added a line from his Migos's song "Bad and Boujee" (2016). The song was included as part of Cabello's set list for Bruno Mars's 24K Magic World Tour, where she served as an opening act. Music critics complimented the track's club-friendly sound while others perceived Cabello's versatility for performing verses written by Charli XCX as well as her dynamic with Quavo. On its first full tracking-week, "OMG" entered the top 100 on charts from several countries, including the U.S, UK, Scotland, Australia and Portugal. It was most successful in Spain, where it reached a peak of 16, spending two consecutive weeks on chart. In Canada, "OMG" received a platinum certification for 80,000 copies sold in the country.

n December 2016, singer Camila Cabello departed from the group Fifth Harmony to focus on her solo career. She started the recording sessions for her solo debut album in early 2017. She said that the album would be classified in a very personal level where she could explore her own experiences, and initially named it The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving. She wanted the album to tell "the story of [her] journey from darkness into light, from a time when she was lost to a time when she found herself again". To achieve her desired sound, she collaborated with some notable producers, including the Norwegian production duo Stargate–composed by Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen. During sessions with Stargate, Cabello met the British singer Charli XCX who helped her to brainstorm ideas for the lyrics. Together, they created some "emotional" and "deep" records like "Scar Tissues" to match the "Hurting" concept planned for the album, although while talking to XCX, Cabello had the idea to write something that was just "fun" and "not really take[n] too seriously". "OMG" was recorded at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles and later mixed by Serban Ghenea at Mixstar Studios, Virginia Beach. It features a guest appearance by rapper Quavo–better known as one of the members of the rap trio Migos– also credited as one of the track's writers. Prior to its release, the singer debuted the song during her private performance at Chicago's B96 Pepsi Summer Bash on June 24, 2017. She worked as an opening act for Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic World Tour from July 20 to August 22, 2017. During the shows, she performed “OMG” and other then-unreleased tracks such as "Havana", "Inside Out" and "Never Be the Same". On July 30, she announced a "Summer Double Feature" release in a picture posted on her Twitter account, where she revealed a release date for "OMG" and "Havana," both released simultaneously as promotional singles on August 3, 2017. The song was originally intended to be on her debut album; however, after changing the name of the album to Camila, she revealed that "OMG" was ultimately removed from the final track list. It happened due to the unexpected success of "Havana", which made Cabello sign with Frank Dukes' management company called Electric Feel, with Dukes executively producing the record. As a result, the album's original concept of hurting, healing, and loving was substituted in favor of the newly recorded material.
