What did we do to deserve Camila Cabello?

The ‘Havana’ star announced her self-titled debut album last week with two brand new songs and she just teased another new song that is dropping this Friday.

Now, while last week’s tunes will feature on Camila, this week’s dose of CC is taken from the soundtrack of Will Smith’s massive new Netflix movie Bright.

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, ah
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-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ayy)
I knew it when I met him (ayy), I loved him when I left him
Got me feelin' like, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-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)
He took me back to East Atlanta, na-na-na (uh huh)
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh-na-na

Jeffery, just graduated, fresh on campus, mmm
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', on me (on me)
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)
He took me back (uh huh) to East Atlanta, na-na-na (oh, no)
Oh, but my heart is in Havana (ayy)
My heart is in Havana (ayy)
Havana, ooh-na-na

Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, babe)
Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, yeah)
Take me back, back, back like...
Ooh-na-na, oh-na-na-na (yeah, babe)
Take me back, back, back
Hey, hey

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (hey)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (hey)
Take me back to my Havana

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

Uh-huh
Oh, na-na-na (oh, na, yeah)
Oh, na-na-na
Oh, na-na-na (no, no, no, take me back)
Oh, na-na-na
Havana, ooh-na-na

‘Crown’ is a collaboration with electronic duo Grey (Hailee Steinfeld’s ‘Starving’) and our girl is on top form as she flexes her highs and lows of her vocal range effortlessly over the gritty production.

“No skin off your back to blame us / Not waiting on the world to save us,” she sings before the beat drops into frenetic dubstep territory.

“I think it’s time / I’m running for the crown / I’m coming for the crown.” Yes you are (with that solo debut), queen!

From the teaser it sounds like 'Crown' will once again prove Camila's musical versatility as she sounds at the forefront of the track despite the demanding production, which is definitely heavier than any of the three songs we've heard from her debut.

While she oozed sex appeal on the sultry 'Havana', things are more serious on the acoustic promotional single 'Real Friends' and second single 'Never Be The Same'.

'Crown' will be available on Friday when the full soundtrack, Bright: The Album, drops on Friday, also featuring Bebe Rexha, Snoop Dogg, Future, Steve Aoki and Lil Uzi Vert.

We're ready!
