Hey

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (ayy, ayy)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
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 (ayy)
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 (woo)

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (ayy, ayy, uh-huh)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh, na-na

(Jeffery)
Just graduated, fresh on campus, mm
Fresh out East Atlanta with no manners, damn
(Fresh out East Atlanta)
Bump on her bumper like a traffic jam
Hey, I was quick to pay that girl like Uncle Sam (here you go, ayy)
Back it on me (back it up), shawty cravin' on me
Get to eatin' on me (on me)
She waited on me (then what?)
Shawty cakin' on me, got the bacon on me (wait up)
This is history in the makin', homie (homie)
Point blank, close range, that B
If it cost a million, that's me (that's me)
I was gettin' mula, baby

Havana, ooh na-na (ayy, ayy)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (oh, ayy, ayy, uh-huh)

Overall Meaning

The song 'Havana' by Camila Cabello ft. Young Thug is about falling in love with a man when in the Cuban city of Havana, despite having reservations initially due to her heart still being in Havana. In the first verse, the singer expresses the charming qualities of the man she meets in Havana, saying that there is something about his manners. She then says that he did not open with the typical "How you doing?" but shared that he cannot do anything without her. She also mentions that her father warned her that the man might have malo in him, which could mean that he has a bad reputation or could be a warning that he could have negative qualities. However, the singer is deeply infatuated with the man despite the warning.


In the chorus, the singer repeats that her heart is in Havana, and she feels conflicted about wanting to stay with the man in Havana but also needing to leave. The second verse is sung by Young Thug, who raps about his success and the attention he receives from women. He mentions his reckless behavior due to his culture in East Atlanta and compares the attention he receives from women as a traffic jam. The song ends with Camila repeating the chorus, saying that she wants to be taken back to Havana.
