During a Facebook live stream held at a fan event in London on October 2, 2019, Cabello recited a snippet of an unreleased track, titled "Used To This".[3] She also revealed that the song was "the one [she] did with FINNEAS" – a collaboration she had previously mentioned to Zane Lowe on September 9, 2019.[4]
On October 24, 2019, Cabello took to Instagram to hold a brief Q&A session. During this session, one fan asked, what song Cabello was most excited for people to hear. In reply, she played a 5-second snippet of an unreleased track, posting it to her Instagram story.[5] Along with the audio, the video featured text, which said, "think I need a drink." These lyrics were later revealed to be part of "Used To This" when People reported on Cabello's intimate L.A. session in November 2019. During the session, she revealed that the song was the last to be written for Romance.[6]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
No, I never liked San Francisco
Never thought it was nothin' special
'Til you kissed me there
No, I never liked windy cities
But I think maybe when you're with me
I like everywhere (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the strangest feelin'
Midnight, I'm not leavin'
No, for once, I think I'll stay (Oh)
I say your name, just listen
Doesn't it sound different?
Never whispered it this way
[Chorus]
It's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this
The feelin' of your fingertips
The feelin' of another kiss
It's gonna take me a minute (Oh)
But I could get used to this (Oh)
Like every tattoo on your skin (Oh)
I'm memorizin' every inch
I could get used to this (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this, definitely
[Verse 2]
No, I never did like tequila
But there's something 'bout when I see ya
Think I need a drink
And the calluses on your fingers
I admire them from a distance
Now they're on my cheek (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I've known you forever
Now I know you better
Let's just get carried away, oh (Oh)
And it bears repeating
How hard my heart's beating
When you tell me I should stay
[Chorus]
It's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this (Baby)
The feelin' of your fingertips
The feelin' of another kiss (Feelin' of another kiss)
It's gonna take me a minute (Oh)
But I could get used to this (Oh)
Like every tattoo on your skin (Oh)
I'm memorizin' every inch
I could get used to this (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this (Oh, oh, stay, stay, stay, stay)
I could get used to this (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this, definitely
[Bridge]
No, I never liked San Francisco
Never thought it was nothin' special
'Til you kissed me there
[Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this (Yeah)
The feelin' of your fingertips (Ah)
The feelin' of another kiss (The feelin' of another kiss)
It's gonna take me a minute (Oh)
But I could get used to this (Oh)
Like every tattoo on your skin (On your skin, oh)
I'm memorizin' every inch
I could get used to this (I feel it all)
I could get used to this (Your kisses, oh, I'll risk it all)
I could get used to this (Seventeen when we started to fall, but we lost it all)
I could get used to this (And I just can't believe it all), definitely
[Intro]

But I could get used to this (Oh)
Like every tattoo on your skin
I'm memorizin' every inch
Yeah, I could get used to this, no (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this, hey (Oh, oh, stay, stay, stay, stay)
I could get used to this (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this, definitely
[Bridge]
No, I never liked San Francisco
Never thought it was nothin' special
'Til you kissed me there
[Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna take me a minute (But I could get used to this)
Gonna take a while (The feelin' of your fingertips)
(The feelin' of another kiss) The feelin' of another kiss
(It's gonna take me a minute, oh)
(But I could get used to this, oh)
Like every tattoo on your skin
I'm memorizin' every inch
I could get used to this
I feel it all (I could get used to this)
Your kisses, oh, I'll risk it all (I could get used to this)
Seventeen when I started to fall
But we lost it all (I could get used to this)
And I just can't believe it all, definitely
