“Hello, we are Camilo and Evaluna. And in October there is new music,” the two wrote on their Instagram accounts alongside a video where they appear to be testing different musical equipment. While playing the clip, you can hear snippets of what their new song would be like, the lyrics of how the love of their life came to be, a song in the voices of both. “Because he entered my life, the love of my life, I only asked for the one from above, but with you he went too far,” the chorus continues.
