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.

I can't sleep, I'm in a daze, in a daze
Since I met you my feet ain't hit the ground
Let's turn this world upside down down
I'm gonna take you on a one way trip straight to the stars
Love the way it feels when I'm in your arms
Can we roll like that?
I'm gonna take you on a one way trip straight to the stars
Love the way it feels when I'm in your arms
Can we roll like that?
Tell me baby, can we roll like that?
Rain keeps tapping on my window, babe
Got my head up in the clouds, in the clouds
Catch my breath when you say my name
You turn my world upside down
I'm gonna take you on a one way trip straight to the stars
Love the way it feels when I'm in your arms
Can we roll like that?
Tell me baby, can we roll like that?
I'm gonna take you on a one way trip straight to the stars
Love the way it feels when I'm in your arms
Can we roll like that?
Tell me baby, can we roll like that?
Can we roll? Can we roll?
Can we roll? Can we roll? Like that
Yea, we roll like that
I'll take you to a place you've never been
Set your heart free free again
Take my hand now and we can blast off
We're gonna blast off, we're gonna blast off
I'm gonna take you on a one way trip straight to the stars
Love the way it feels when I'm in your arms
Can we roll like that?
Tell me baby, can we roll like that?
I'm gonna take you on a one way trip straight to the stars
Love the way it feels when I'm in your arms
Can we roll like that?
Tell me baby, can we roll like that?
I'm gonna take you on a one way trip straight to the stars
Love the way it feels when I'm in your arms
Can we roll like that?
Tell me baby, can we roll like that?
Like that, like that...
The lyrics to Havana Brown's song "One Way Trip" depict a sense of infatuation and the desire to escape reality with a loved one. The "clocks keep ticking on my window" suggests a restless feeling, unable to sleep or focus since meeting the person they are singing to. The singer feels lifted off the ground and their world turned upside down in this person's presence, hence the repetition of the phrase "one way trip straight to the stars". The lyrics ask the question "can we roll like that?" repeatedly, inviting the listener to come along on this journey of infatuation and escape. The rain that taps on the window serves as a kind of sensory reminder of the reality outside of this world-building experience, but even the rain is a kind of blanket protection against the world outside; it serves as a backdrop to the developing romance between the singer and their lover.
The chorus to this song is a repetition of the aforementioned desire to take the chosen lover on a one-way trip “straight to the stars”. The bridge lyrics, “I'll take you to a place you've never been, Set your heart free free again, Take my hand now and we can blast off, We're gonna blast off, we're gonna blast off” serves as a sort of climax before the song concludes with a final repetition of the chorus, “I'm gonna take you on a one-way trip, straight to the stars”. Overall, the song’s lyrics depict a sense of adventure, a desire to escape reality into a world away from one's problems, and most of all, a blissful romance between two people.

Stella Carrier
I have to agree with some of the commenters who express that one way trip by havana brown is an underrated song, I feel that maybe with the right exposure it could have been rated higher andor enjoyed more popularity proof that some of the really good songs are sometimes far from as widely known this amusing yet racy song was very fun to listen to in early 2013 and still very fun to listen to multiple years later.
