Camila Cabello - Havana ft. Young Thug

Step back to late 2017, when a seductive, salsa-infused groove swept across the globe, solidifying Camila Cabello’s legendary metamorphosis from girl-group stardom to solo royalty. "Havana," featuring an impossibly slick verse from Atlanta trap visionary Young Thug, was a passionate love letter to Cabello’s Cuban roots. Directed by Dave Meyers, the cinematic music video transformed into a hilarious, star-studded tribute to classic Latin telenovelas, featuring Cabello in brilliant dual roles.

Intriguingly, label executives initially hesitated to promote the track, fearing its subtle, piano-led rhythm wouldn't suit mainstream pop radio. They couldn't have been more wrong. "Havana" shattered records, topping charts in over 20 countries and ultimately becoming the best-selling digital single of 2018.

This was the year the global "Latin Explosion" reshaped the music industry alongside tracks like Despacito, fidget spinners swirled through every schoolyard, Apple unveiled the revolutionary iPhone X, and Wonder Woman smashed box office records. "Havana" provided the unforgettable, sultry soundtrack to this vibrant moment in history!
