Her musical career started with the group Fishbowl in London. However, the group disbanded without releasing a single album and she became a DJ. After offering club promoters to spin for free, she went on to do regular appearances in concerts and parties in London. Since then, she has had success with Circus Tour with Britney Spears, and also scored support spots for Enrique Iglesias, The Pussycat Dolls, Lady GaGa, Chris Brown and Rihanna in Australia.
In early 2008, she signed with Universal Music Australia and released several albums of her compilation series titled 'Crave', featuring mixed R&B and hip hop. Crave Vol. 2 made it to the top five of the ARIA compilation chart and over 50,000 units of the Crave series have already sold in only one year. Crave Vol. 4 debuted at #2 on the ARIA compilation and urban charts and over 100,000 units of the Crave series have already sold in a little over a year. Her most recent album Crave Vol. 5 came out on the 29 October 2010.
Havana Brown was nominated for Best DJ at the Urban Music Awards in 2007 and won Best DJ in Pop Republic Magazine’s It List in 2007.
Havana now also holds down a weekly spot on Australian radio. Every Friday afternoon DJ Havana Brown can be heard on the Austereo network where she mixes a set for the "Ad Free Fifty".
Havana released her debut single 'We Run The Night' in 2011. The song reached #5 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and earned Brown two ARIA Music Award nominations for Breakthrough Artist Single and Highest Selling Single.
Like Lightning
Havana Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you still like me?
You still into me and you?
I think you kinda crazy
Maybe I'm crazy too
It hit me like lighting
Like a bullet from across the room
I know it's kind of frightening
It's like every little thing you do
Makes me feel funny like I'm back at school
I just want me and you
What's the point of love unless you tell the truth
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Like lightning
Like lightning
Like lightning
Babe you gotta chase me
If you wanna hold these cards
Nothing's gonna phase me
Come and show me who you really are
Could be rolling like thunder
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Never going under
Let's show 'em what it's all about
It's like every little thing you do
Makes me feel funny like I'm back at school
I just want me and you
What's the point of love unless you tell the truth
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Like lightning
Like lightning
Like lightning
I keep my emotions down under
Trying to focus on fun stuff
But I'll bring you lightning and thunder
To power your heart until it functions
Just tell me you're gonna return the feeling
'Cause baby, you know, I give you the real thing
And my love will be a shock to your system
Look nobody can replace my position
It's like every little thing you do
I just want me and you
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Like lightning
It's like every little thing you do
Like lightning
I just want me and you
Like lightning
Every little thing you say
Like lightning
You can try and walk away
Like lightning
The lyrics to Havana Brown's song "Like Lightning" convey a sense of attraction and excitement between two people. The opening lines question whether the other person still likes the singer and if they both have feelings for each other. The mention of being crazy could imply that their feelings are intense and passionate, leading to the metaphor of being hit by lightning or a bullet across the room. Despite the frightening aspect of their strong connection, the singer also acknowledges that they really like the other person.
The chorus emphasizes the powerful effect the other person has on the singer. The comparison to lightning implies that their presence ignites a fire within the singer, bringing energy and excitement. The repeated plea to "light me up" suggests that the singer wants the other person to ignite their passion and desire.
The next verse depicts the singer challenging the other person to pursue them and reveal their true selves. The idea of nothing phasing the singer indicates they are open to exploring a deep connection. Rolling like thunder and never going under symbolize the strength and resilience of their potential relationship. They want to show others the intense and meaningful nature of their love.
The bridge reveals that the singer tries to suppress their emotions but is willing to bring intensity and power to the other person's heart. The mention of lightning and thunder signifies the force with which they can affect the other person, suggesting that their love will have a profound impact. They ask for a reciprocal feeling from the other person, confident in the authenticity of their own love.
The song concludes with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the desire for the other person to ignite the singer's passion and create a strong connection. The repetition of the metaphor "like lightning" reinforces the intensity and power of their attraction. The final lines express the singer's longing for the other person, illustrating their unwillingness to let go and urging them not to walk away.

Like lightning
Do you still have the same intense attraction for me?
Do you still like me?
Do you still have feelings for me?
You still into me and you?
Are you still interested in being with me?
I think you kinda crazy
I believe you might be a bit unpredictable or impulsive
Maybe I'm crazy too
Perhaps I am also a bit unpredictable or impulsive
It hit me like lightning
I was suddenly struck by a strong feeling or realization
Like a bullet from across the room
Like a sudden and intense impact from a distance
I know it's kind of frightening
I understand it can be scary or intimidating
I guess I really like you too
I suppose I also have strong feelings for you
It's like every little thing you do
Each action or behavior you display
Makes me feel funny like I'm back at school
Brings about a lighthearted, youthful feeling
I just want me and you
I desire a romantic relationship between us
What's the point of love unless you tell the truth
Love loses its significance if honesty is absent
Light me up, light me up, light me up
Ignite a passionate spark within me
Babe you gotta chase me
My partner, you must actively pursue me
If you wanna hold these cards
If you want to be in a position of power or advantage
Nothing's gonna phase me
I am unaffected or undeterred by anything
Come and show me who you really are
Reveal your true self to me
Could be rolling like thunder
We can experience excitement and intensity
Nothing's gonna stop us now
No obstacles can prevent our progress
Never going under
We will not be defeated or overwhelmed
Let's show 'em what it's all about
Let's demonstrate the true essence of our relationship
I keep my emotions down under
I suppress my emotions or keep them hidden
Trying to focus on fun stuff
Attempting to concentrate on enjoyable things
But I'll bring you lightning and thunder
I will bring excitement and intensity to our relationship
To power your heart until it functions
To energize or empower your heart until it works properly
Just tell me you're gonna return the feeling
Simply inform me that you will reciprocate the emotions
'Cause baby, you know, I give you the real thing
Because, my love, you are aware that I am genuine
And my love will be a shock to your system
My love will have a powerful impact on you
Look nobody can replace my position
No one can take the place I hold in your life
Every little thing you say
Each word spoken by you
You can try and walk away
You may attempt to distance yourself from me
