"Should've Said It" is the third track from Camila Cabello's sophomore studio album, Romance, released on December 6, 2019.

Written by Cabello with Louis Bell, Adam Feeney, Eric Frederic, Andrew Wotman, Alexandra Tamposi, Louis Bell and Nate Mercereau, and produced by the two latter with Frank Dukes and Ricky Reed, the song is about a former partner coming back for a second chance at love.[2]

Background[]

The song was registered on Cabello's BMI Repertoire in November 2019.[3]

She teased the song title on a poster of Romance, along with another track titles.

In "Should've Said It", Cabello calls out a former love interest on their poor timing, as she is now in a relationship with someone else (presumably Shawn Mendes as in an interview it was mentioned that it was his favourite song off her album).

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
Ayy, ayy

[Chorus]
So you want me now? That's funny
'Cause you didn't give a... back then
Comin' back around, so sorry
'Cause there's no room in my bed
And I'm all good now, someone else is gettin' all of me (Ah)
If you wanted me so desperately, you shoulda said it

[Verse 1]
Show up at my door, but I don't live there anymore
Sendin' me our songs, but they don't really sound like before
I was crazy for you, all caught up and confused (Ah)
Love was broken for me, now it's broken for you

[Pre-Chorus]
You're only lonely
Now that you ain't the one to hold me
Only lonely now

[Chorus]
So you want me now? That's funny
'Cause you didn't give a... back then
Comin' back around, so sorry
'Cause there's no room in my bed
And I'm all good now, someone else is gettin' all of me (Ah)
If you wanted me so desperately, you shoulda said it

[Verse 2]
Isn't it somethin' that I get more when I'm givin' you nothin'? (Huh)
Isn't it magic that when you stop lookin' for it, it happens? (Oh)
Baby, he fell from grace, landed right in your place
Kissed me so many times that I forgot your taste

[Pre-Chorus]
You're only lonely
Now that you ain't the one to hold me
Only lonely now, now

[Chorus]
So you want me now? That's funny (Hey)
'Cause you didn't give a... back then
Comin' back around, so sorry
'Cause there's no room in my bed
And I'm all good now, someone else is gettin' all of me (Ah)
If you wanted me so desperately, you shoulda said it

[Post-Chorus]
You shoulda said it, love
Shoulda said it
Shoulda said it, love

[Bridge]
I wish that you could turn back the time
You'd hold me closer instead of your pride (Ooh, oh)
I knew it was you from the very first night
And it took you two years to make up your mind

[Chorus]
So you want me now? That's funny
'Cause you didn't give a... back then
Comin' back around, so sorry (Ayy)
'Cause there's no room in my bed
And I'm all good now, someone else is gettin' all of me (Ah)
If you wanted me so desperately, you shoulda said it (Ah)

[Post-Chorus]
You shoulda said it, love (Ah)
Shoulda said it (Oh)
You shoulda said it, love

[Outro]
So you want me now, now, baby?
So you want me now, now, baby?
So you want me now, now?
You shoulda said it, shoulda said it, love
