Cabello moved with her parents to the US when she was five years old. Her hit song ‘Havana’ is a Latin pop song with a soft samba piano riff interspersed with a horn section which is very infectious.
The 20 year old co –wrote the song with Brittany Hazzard, Ali Tamposi, Brian Lee, Andrew Watt, Pharrell Williams, Jeffrey Lamar Williams, Adam Feeney and Louis Bell. The song is produced by Frank Dukes. ‘Havana’ first debuted on the UK chart 13 weeks ago at No: 53 and then faltered to drop to 57, before the song began to ascend the chart. It had a nervous three week stay at No: 2. ‘Havana’ is taken from Camila Cabello’s album ‘The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving’.
