Camila Cabello Almost Sang Halsey's Part On The Chainsmokers' "Closer"

What could have been!

If you're a human being that had ears in the year 2016, you're certainly familiar with The Chainsmokers and Halsey's mega-hit "Closer."

But what if I told you that Camila Cabello showed up to Elvis Duran's morning show today and said that SHE was almost the one who sang on it?!???!

We even got to hear a little bit of the demo she recorded on the song:

She also explained the reason why the collaboration never happened. According to Camila, Fifth Harmony's 7/27 album was about to drop and she "had to turn it down."

Here's her full explanation:

"Basically I recorded that song and so [The Chainsmokers] were like 'oh do you wanna be on the song?' and I loved the song. But I had to turn it down because I was with the group at the time and we were like about to put an album out and so I didn't wanna...you know, I always try to do my solo stuff off-cycle and so that was like, super-on and I had to say no. And then it was like the number one song in the world."

So it begs the question...
