"Havana"
Song

"Havana" is a song recorded by Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello featuring guest vocals from American rapper Young Thug. It was released on August 3, 2017 as a promotional single of her upcoming debut album, along with "OMG".[2] On August 30, via social media, Cabello confirmed the song as the album's second single. It was serviced to radio on September 8. On November 12, a remix version of the song with Daddy Yankee was uploaded to Cabello's YouTube page. The first verse of the song is sung in Spanish while Daddy Yankee replaces Young Thug's verse.[3]

Due to the spontaneous success of the song and her discarding "Crying in the Club" from the album, "Havana" became its proper lead single.[4] The song has performed well internationally, reaching number one in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Scotland and the United Kingdom as well as the top ten in a number of countries including Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, while peaking at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it became Cabello's highest ranking.

Composition

"Havana" is a mid-tempo track, and lyrically finds the singer embracing her Cuban heritage.[5] Cabello sings the chorus over Latin-influenced piano riffs and rhythm.[6] Sadie Bell of Billboard interpreted the line "Half of my heart is in Havana" as the song chronicling "a romance that found Cabello's heart left down south,"[7] while for Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos, in the "clubby, smooth" track, Cabello falls in love with "a mysterious suitor from East Atlanta", though she has left her heart in her hometown.[8] Young Thug performs a sing-song verse over the "bouncy" piano.[7][9] Some music publications described the song as "Latin fusion"[10] and pop.[9] A no-rap version replaces the second verse with Young Thug, with Cabello's own lyrics.[11][12]

Critical reception

Writing for Billboard, Sadie Bell expressed that the "sexy" track radiates a Latin flare."[7] Similarly, Much's Allison Browsher opined the track "arrives just in time to keep the summer heat going on the radio."[13] 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."[14] Peter A. Berry of XXL opined Young Thug's verse "blends with the bouncy piano perfectly."[9]

Commercial performance

In the United Kingdom, "Havana" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 53 on the chart dated August 11, 2017.[15] It rose to number two in its ninth week, behind only Post Malone's "Rockstar" featuring 21 Savage.[16] On November 3, it reached number one, giving Cabello and Young Thug their first UK number-one single.[17]

In the United States, the single reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in its twelfth week, becoming Cabello's second top 10 hit as a solo artist.[18] It jumped five spots to number two in the next week, behind only "Rockstar" by Post Malone featuring 21 Savage, becoming Cabello's highest peak on the chart and surpassing her previous number four peaks as a solo artist and as a member of Fifth Harmony, with "Bad Things" and "Work from Home", respectively.[19] On November 14, 2017, the song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Cabello's third Platinum certification as a solo artist.[20]

"Havana" reached number one on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart in its 12th week on the chart, becoming Cabello's first number-one song, including during her time as part of Fifth Harmony.[21]

Music video

The film scene gave the video a "classic" 1960s appeal, as described by a Fuse writer.[22]

Cabello shared a 26-second preview of the short film for "Havana" on October 22, 2017 through her YouTube channel, which featured appearanced by Lele Pons, LeJuan James and Noah Centineo. The video was directed by Dave Meyers and was released on October 24, 2017.[23]

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.[24] Aside from appearing as Karla, Cabello also plays the telenovela actress and the movie protagonist.[25][26] 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.

A vertical video, directed by Sam Lecca, was released on November 10, 2017. The clip shows Cabello and dancers on a New York City subway.[27]

Live performances

Cabello performed the song for the first time on television on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on September 25, 2017.[28] The same week she performed on The Today Show, where she delivered a message to "all the dreamers" in support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.[29] On October 27, Cabello performed a Spanglish version of the song at the Latin American Music Awards.[30] She also performed the song at the LOS40 Music Awards[31] and the MTV Europe Music Awards.[32] Her performance at the MTV EMAs was ranked as the best of the night by Billboard writer Joe Lynch.[33]
