"Havana" is the lead single and fourth track off Camila Cabello's debut studio album, Camila. It is a collaboration with Young Thug.

It was released on August 3, 2017, as a “Summer Double Feature” along with another promotional single "OMG". However on August 30, via Twitter, Cabello confirmed the song as an official single, due to its success in the streaming platforms.[1]

The track debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #99 and has charted in nine other countries including Spain and the UK. The song went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and thus became her highest charting and most successful single.

As of July 23, 2018, the song became the most streamed song by a lead female artist on Spotify with 955M streams surpassing Sia's "Cheap Thrills". As of December 2018, the song has surpassed one billion Spotify streams.

A live version of the song was released for digital download and streaming services on September 21, 2018.[2]

Background[]

The song is about her heritage and cultural background. Camila was born in Havana, Cuba, and the song title is referring to her birthplace. On June 10, 2017, Camila posted a photo on Instagram of herself when she was at Havana during her early years with the description: "havana oo na na".[3] The song was first performed at the Pepsi Summerbash on June 24, 2017, with different lyrics on the first verse.[4][5] On July 31, Camila posted a picture on Instagram announcing that "OMG" will be released along with "Havana".[6] On August 1, Camila posted another picture but this time announcing the features of the song ("OMG" ft. Quavo and "Havana" ft. Young Thug).[7] Finally, on August 3, 2017, the official audio was released on CamilaCabelloVEVO along with "OMG".

The song also features Pharrell Williams, he recorded the background vocals. On August 30, 2017, after the success in the streaming platforms, Camila announced "Havana" as the second single off Camila.[1]

According to Camila, the song is about her falling in love “with this bad boy from Havana”. It is also an ode to her hometown. Camila was born in Cojímar, a ward – or consejo popular – that belongs to the municipality of La Habana Del Este, which is a district of Havana. Camila immigrated to the US when she was still a kid: "I was almost 7 at the time, born in Havana, Cuba. My papá is puro Mexicano and we lived back and forth between the heat of Havana and the concrete jungle of Mexico City. I didn’t realize it then, but, boy, does it hit me now. I realize how scary it must have been for them." In an interview with 98.7 AMP, Camila stated that Havana was the hardest song to write of the whole album: "It took, like, five months, because we have seven different versions. I have performed a version of it in Chicago for a radio show that I had. And, before the song came out, I re-wrote the pre-chorus. That’s how many different times the song had to be worked on." A no-rap version was released in September 2017. On September 25, 2017, Camila performed that version at The Tonight Show.

On December 21, 2017, Cabello revealed the official tracklist of her debut studio album, Camila, which the song is featured as the fourth track.[8]

Similarly, Much's Allison Browsher opined the track "arrives just in time to keep the summer heat going on the radio." Raise Bruner of Time.com wrote that "Havana" "hits a freshly sultry note that we hope to see more of in her September debut album." Peter A. Berry of XXL opined Young Thug's verse "blends with the bouncy piano perfectly." Jamieson Cox of Pitchfork portrayed, "Camila Cabello’s sultry, salsa-inflected 'Havana' is a keystone for a superstar origin story".[9]

The official music video was directed by Dave Meyers on October 3, 2017. On October 22, 2017, Camila shared via Twitter the trailer of the music video with the hashtag "#HAVANAtheMOVIE" and also announced that the music video will be released on October 24, 2017.[13]

The music video starts with Karla, played by Cabello, watching a telenovela, before being interrupted by her grandmother, who turns off the TV and advises her to live her life instead of spending her days indoors. Karla then leaves the house to go see a movie. The film she is watching, called Camila in Havana, takes the form of a music video, starring a version of herself wearing a fringe-covered red dress and performing at a club. Aside from appearing as Karla, Cabello also plays the telenovela actress and the movie protagonist. After the film ends, she leaves the cinema and stumbles across a cyclist, also the male protagonist of the film, and begins dancing with him. As of October 2018, the video has received 690 million views on YouTube, while there is an audio-only version with over 1.3 billion views on YouTube.
