C,XOXO is the fourth studio album by American singer Camila Cabello. It was released on June 28, 2024, through Geffen and Interscope Records, and is her first album following her departure from Epic Records. Primarily a pop and alt-pop record, C,XOXO also incorporates hyperpop, dance and hip-hop music.

The album was preceded by the release of the singles "I Luv It" with Playboi Carti—which peaked at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100—and "He Knows" with Lil Nas X, as well as the promotional single "Chanel No. 5". Following the album's release, "Hot Uptown" featuring Drake was released as the third single, and "Godspeed" was released as the fourth and final single on September 6, 2024, alongside the Magic City Edition, which features 4 additional tracks. Guest vocalists include Playboi Carti, Lil Nas X, JT, Yung Miami, BLP Kosher, Drake, and uncredited vocals from PinkPantheress, with the Magic City Edition including a collaboration with Eem Triplin. The album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its sonic experimentation though were ambivalent towards Cabello's new direction.

In September 2022, following the release of Cabello's third album, Familia in April of the same year, it was announced she had departed from Epic Records and signed to Universal Music Group's label, Interscope Records.

Cabello appeared in an interview by Alexandra Cooper of Call Her Daddy, where she revealed her album is "really sitting in the discomfort of things and realizing there's not gonna be a neat, in-a-box answer. I feel strong in these ways, weak in these ways, and there's no real clear answer here. But the album process has been such a journey. It started out with me having that intention of going back to how it started for me, which was just sitting with myself and really getting back to that first passion of songwriting. Nerding out over references and artists and poetry—whatever—and really tapping into that."

In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Cabello described the album's sonic departure from her previous works, crediting Pablo "el Guincho" Díaz-Reixa and Jasper Harris with assisting her in the departure. She revealed: "I do feel like I'm a weirdo, and that's the music that I love, and that's the music that I feel the most proud of making. I think a lot of times it comes to finding people that are weirdos too, and Jasper's a weirdo, Guincho's a weirdo, and I think the three of us were able to just keep it in this bubble of like, we don't give a fuck, and we're just going to do what we think is fire."

C,XOXO is a pop record with elements of hyperpop, hip-hop, avant-pop, and alt-pop. The album opens with the lead single "I Luv It", with rapper Playboi Carti. This track combines a hip-hop beat with hyperpop elements. "Chanel No. 5", the album's promotional single, features R&B-inspired vocals and minimalist production. "He Knows", with Lil Nas X, combines hip-hop with dance influences. "Hot Uptown", featuring Drake, has been described as having a danceable beat and infectious melody.

The album explores themes of love, self-discovery, and empowerment, reflecting Cabello's personal experiences. According to SiriusXM, Cabello described the album as having "Miami baddie energy" and noted that it contains "things that you haven't heard from [her] before" and moments that are sonically and lyrically unique.

"I Luv It", with Playboi Carti, was released as the album's lead single on March 27, 2024. The song debuted and peaked at number 81 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "He Knows", with Lil Nas X, was released as the album's second single on May 10, while "Chanel No. 5" was released as the album's first promotional single on June 21. "Hot Uptown", featuring Canadian rapper Drake, impacted US contemporary hit radio as the album's third single on June 28, 2024.
