The song is titled after Camila's hometown in UsefulNotes/{{Cuba}} (despite being called La Habana in Cuba's native Spanish), and features a lot of Latin-influenced music as well as being the structure of Latin rap and reggaeton songs [[AWildRapperAppears with a rap verse]] by Music/YoungThug (Music/DaddyYankee in the Spanish remix).

6	Camila's producers first thought it wouldn't be a success and that it shouldn't be a single, but when it was released it went to number one in many countries, including being the first UK number one for Camila. After the music video was released and was successful, the song was moved from being the album's second single to its first single.

8	An additional music video was released, a vertical video shot on the subway in New York. The official music video is quite long (almost 7 minutes long, with a full narrative and interlocking elements based in Latin fantasy. It won the Video of the Year award at the 2018 [[UsefulNotes/MTVVideoMusicAward MTV Video Music Awards]].

18	----
19	!!"Havana" provides examples of:
20	* AlmostKiss: Between 'Camila' with her love interest in the film ''Camila in Havana'' and Karla with her love interest.
21	* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Karla and Bella's grandmother Abuelita, who is either a crossdressing male or a transwoman. Being portrayed by [=LeJuan=] James helps.
22	* AnAesop: "If you don't like my story, go write your own."
23	* AuthorAvatar: The characters 'Camila' and 'Karla' are "exaggerated personas of me, basically", Cabello says.
24	* AWildRapperAppears: "Havana" features rapper Young Thug or Daddy Yankee, depending on which version of Havana you're listening to.
25	* BedroomAdulteryScene: How the Telenovela starts, with Telenovela Camila coming home to find her alleged boyfriend cheating on her.
26	* BaitAndSwitch. Telenovela Camila thinks that her boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend. And the maid. Turns out that was actually her boyfriend's twin brother.
27	* BookEnds: The video begins and ends with the telenovela that Karla is watching.
28	* TheCameo: The video features [[Series/ScreamTheTVSeries Lele Pons]] as Bella, [=LeJuan=] James as Abuelita, [[Film/ToAllTheBoysIveLovedBefore Noah Centineo]] as the love interest, and Marco [=DelVecchio=] as Juan and Rodrigo.
29	* ConceptVideo: "Havana" is a 6-minute video, following 'Karla' in a sort-of short film, complete with characters like [[CoolBigSis Bella]], [[WholesomeCrossdresser Abuelita]], and a love interest.
30	* CoolBigSis: Bella, who is much more of a party girl than Karla.
31	* CheatingWithTheMilkman: Telenovela Camila walks in on her supposed boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend and the maid.
32	* DistractedByTheSexy: While practicing some dance moves on the walk home, Karla's love interest gets so distracted by her dancing enough that he crashes his bike. Luckily, she helps him back up to his feet and teaches him how to dance.
33	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Telenovela Camila's boyfriend appears suddenly, telling her "he's been hiding in the closet all this time, so now he's out of the closet. For her" as he explains that his evil twin is the one she found in bed with her friend and the maid and he proposes to her.
34	* IdenticalTwinMistake: Telenovela Camila mistakes Rodrigo for Juan, and Karla and the viewer are supposed to do this, too, since they don't know the Rodrigo exists.
35	* LocationSong: "Havana", the lead single off of her first solo album, shares its name with her birthplace in Havana, Cuba. She sings in the song's chorus that her heart is in Havana, showing her love for her hometown.
36	* MultilingualSong: There's a remix version where the first verse is replaced by a Spanish one. The music video has a lot more Spanish dialogue, though.
37	* NoNameGiven: The love interest Karla meets at the end of the music video is unnamed, unlike most of the other characters.
38	* RealityHasNoSubtitles: The Spanish in the music video - some of it is subtitled, some of it isn't. There's a balance between it being useful or not, the fact Camila obviously speaks Spanish, and the idea that the audience might speak it, too.
39	* ShowWithinAShow: Several. A telenovela and a film called ''Camila in Havana''.
40	* {{Telenovela}}: The framing of the music video is a telenovela that Karla is watching.
41	* TwoTimingWithTheBestie: Telenovela Camila is heartbroken to discover that her boyfriend Juan was cheating on her with her best friend Maria.
42	* UnknownRelative: Juan's girlfriend the telenovela Camila doesn't know that he has a twin brother, so when she walks in on someone looking just like Juan in bed with two other women...
43	* UnnamedParent: Abuelita is just called Abuelita (a Spanish word for grandma) throughout. Justified in that the only characters that interact with her are her granddaughters, so it makes sense for them to only call her that.
44	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Abuelita is actually played by [=LeJuan=] James.
