Camila Cabello ft. Young Thug s pjesmom “Havana” nalaze se na prvom mjestu najprodavanijih digitalnih singlova u 2018. godine.
Pjesma je skinuta s njezinog debi albuma, a mnoge je osvojila svojim ritmom koji potječe s njezine Kube. Originalna pjesma, a kasnije i remix verzija Daddy Yankeeja završili su na prvom mjestu u 95 država, uključujući i Veliku Britaniju gdje su pet tjedana bili na samom vrhu.
U lipnju 2018. godine “Havana ” je bila najstreamanija pjesma u povijesti nekog ženskog izvođača na Spotifyju s 888 milijuna streamova, a sada je već na 2.6 milijardi diljem svijeta i na svim digitalnim platformama.
Na drugom mjestu je Drake s “God’s Plan”, a na trećem i četvrtom Ed Sheeran s pjesmama “Shape of You” i “Perfect”. Top 5 zatvaraju Maroon 5 s Cardi B i pjesmom “Girls Like You”. Zanimljivo, “Despacito” je tek na 6. mjestu.
Iako će mnogi od nas, uključujući i onoga koji upravo zapisuje ove riječi, reći kako je u pitanju dosta primitivna glazba, očito da ovakvo što danas najbolje pali u svijetu glazbe. Ne trebaš pamtiti riječi (kao da ih i ima), ne trebaš se opterećivati, samo slušati i plesati, koliko god sve ovo zvučalo primitivno. Čisto radi informacije, pjesmu je napisalo 10 umjetnika, Camila Cabello, Jeffery Williams, Frank Dukes, Brittany Hazzard, Ali Tamposi, Brian Lee, Andrew Watt, Pharrell Williams, Louis Bell i Kaan Gunesberk. A kompleksni tekst je sljedeći:
Hey
Havana, ooh na-na (ay)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (ay, ay)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ay)
There’s somethin’ ’bout his manners (uh huh)
Havana, ooh na-na (uh)
He didn’t walk up with that “how you doin’?” (uh)
(When he came in the room)
He said there’s a lot of girls I can do with (uh)
(But I can’t without you)
I knew him forever in a minute (hey)
(That summer night in June)
And papa says he got malo in him (uh)
He got me feelin’ like
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I knew it when I met him
I loved him when I left him
Got me feelin’ like
Ooh-ooh-ooh, and then I had to tell him
I had to go, oh na-na-na-na-na
Havana, ooh na-na (ay, ay)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (ay, ay)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na (uh huh)
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ay)
My heart is in Havana (ay)
Havana, ooh na-na
