In May 2016, Camila Cabello and Benny Blanco spent time in a recording studio, where they recorded "Love Incredible".[1] The song was leaked on January 30, 2017, and is Cabello's first solo single since leaving Fifth Harmony in December 2016.[2][3]

Musically, "Love Incredible" is an electropop[4] and R&B-pop song,[5] which contains elements of dance.[3] The song begins mellow with Cabello using a high vocal register, accompanied by synthesizers[4][5][6] that pick up with a thumping drumbeat.[2][3] The music is built around a grinding electronic dance music chorus, where Cabello sings over glassy keyboards and a muted bassline,[7] "This love's incredible, credible / Have a little mercy on me, baby / You got me wanting more, wanting more / Of your love".[8]

Critical reception

Kat Bein from Billboard compared the song to Cashmere's previous releases, describing it as a "tune that sounds like it fits in perfectly with the rest of the work from his upcoming debut LP 9."[5] Christina Lee of Idolator praised the production and Cabello's vocals on the song, calling it "dramatic, though dreamy electro-pop that still has enough sing-along moments for summer festival playlists to come, with processed vocals featured alongside Camila's own falsetto.[4] Danny Schwartz of the site HotNewHipHop also praised the song's production and wrote that it is "an accurate summation of the Cashmere Cat aesthetic: a strawberry Starbust of a pop song with an unexpected and enrapturing vocoder-gasm appended to the end."[9] Sasha Geffen from MTV News gave a different opinion about Cabello's voice on the song, writing: "Cashmere Cat whips Camila's voice through a bevy of effects, making her sound more like a giddy android than a girl-group expat."[6]
