"Consequences" is a song by American singer and songwriter Camila Cabello from her debut studio album Camila (2018). Two different versions of the song were released as the album's third and final single on October 9, 2018, by Epic Records and Syco. [3] It was written by Cabello, Amy Wadge, Nicolle Galyon and Emily Weisband, and produced by Emile Haynie [4] and Bart Schoudel. "Consequences" is a piano-led ballad. Lyrically, it is about the impact of a partner that was in Cabello's life. The singer teased its single release by sending packages to fans on October 3, 2018. [5]
A music video for the orchestral version, directed by Dave Meyers, was released on October 10, 2018. A vertical video was also released, showing the singer singing in front of an orchestra. [6] The song was performed on Le Rico Show sur NRJ , Good Morning America and the American Music Awards of 2018. It won the Best Lyrics award at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
"Consequences" is a piano-led ballad. Lyrically, it is about the impact of a partner that was in her life. [7] Sam Lansky of Time cited the song as a "heartfelt" track both lyrically and musically while applauding its "pretty-ballad" songwriting for showcasing Cabello's voice. [8]
The song is performed in the key of C major in 3
4 time with a tempo of 105 beats per minute. Cabello's vocals span from G3 to A5. [9] [10]
Alexis Petridis of The Guardian portrayed, "The piano ballad Consequences is an unexpected triumph: eschewing the usual melodramatics, Cabello’s vocal is controlled, delicate and affecting, while the accompaniment vaguely recalls – of all things – Asleep by the Smiths." [11] Writing for The Observer , Kitty Empire opined the track, "Consequences exhibits greater-than-average originality. 'Lost a little weight because I wasn't eating,' croons Cabello; 'loving you had consequences'." [12] Dennis Leupold of Rolling Stone expressed, "this girl definitely puts more of her heart into the emo. Cabello has a real flair for melancholy piano break-up ballads, as in 'Consequences,' where she ponders the high price of love: 'Dirty tissues, trust issues.'" [13] Jamieson Cox of Pitchfork stated that "The overwrought one-two punch of 'Consequences'—which sounds a little like her attempt at something like Rihanna's 'Stay'" [14] Sam Lansky of Time applauded its "pretty-ballad" songwriting for showcasing Cabello's voice while citing the song as a "heartfelt" track both lyrically and musically. [8] Nick Levine of NME penned, "Stripped-down piano ballad ‘Consequences’ feels even more candid: she tells a former partner that 'loving you was dumb and dark and cheap,' and says she 'lost a little weight because I wasn't eating.'" [15]
A music video for the orchestral version, directed by Dave Meyers, was released on October 10, 2018. [16] [17] [18] It featured an appearance by Dylan Sprouse. [19] In the video, Cabello and Sprouse run around, kiss and make music together. [20] Cabello walks around a park while reminiscing about the couple's relationship. [21] As of June 2019, the music video for orchestra version has over 42 million views on YouTube and 80 million streams on Spotify.
A vertical video was released on November 13, 2018, on her official Vevo account. [22] The video was previously a Spotify exclusive, released on October 30. [23] [24] The black-and-white video features Cabello singing in front of an orchestra in a studio, and as she writes and records the tune in the studio. [6]
