My Oh My

It was written by the artists, Savan Kotecha, Ant Clemons, and producers Frank Dukes & Louis Bell. Due to similarities between the song and Peruvian reggae band Tierra Sur's 1992 song "Llaman a la puerta", group leader Alejandro "Pochi" Marambio received a writing credit.

Cabello stars as an actress who is tired of always starring as a damsel in distress and wishes to "be the hero". She then goes to a bar and meets an up-and-coming movie director, portrayed by DaBaby, who then hires her to play the role she always wanted. Throughout the video, Cabello utilizes katana in a Kill Bill inspired film titled 'La Bonita Blade', and performs a Grease-style dance, alongside the use of subtitles.
