"'Living Proof'" is a song by Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello from her second studio album 'Romance' (2019), on which it appears as the second track. The song was released as the album's fifth single on November 15, 2019, along with the pre-order for the album.
Background
Cabello first teased the song in February 2019. She later announced the song's release on November 13, 2019. Cabello has stated that the song is one of her favorites she wrote for 'Romance', stating that it was "her way of coping as a hopeless romantic".
Composition
"Living Proof" is a pop song that runs for 3 minutes and 14 seconds. The song opens with a clapping beat and a steady guitar. Cabello uses religious imagery to describe her relationship with her lover, in addition to a falsetto used "in stomping and catchy chorus". The song's opening contains a sample of a recording by Andy Jones for his The Africa Heartwood Project, which contains orphans singing.
Music video
The Alan Ferguson-directed music video was released on November 24, 2019, the night of Cabello's American Music Awards performance of the song. It was inspired by the John Everett Millais painting 'Ophelia', which depicted the fictional Shakespearean character floating in a pool covered in flowers. Throughout the video, she is seen frolicking with a group of dancers and laying in a bed of petals. As of November 2020, it has over 22 million views and 502 thousand likes on YouTube.
Live performances
Cabello debuted the song at the American Music Awards, where she also performed "Seorita" alongside Shawn Mendes and "Shake It Off" alongside Taylor Swift and Halsey. On December 5, 2019, Cabello performed the song on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', as well as on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' the next day.
