Camila Cabello's 'Havana' Music Video Is A Red-Hot Blockbuster
We can confirm that it was DEFINITELY worth the wait...
Camila Cabello is coming for an Oscar!
The long-awaited video for the pop star's mega-hit 'Havana' has finally premiered and the movie-within-a-movie is one of the most entertaining pop videos of the year.
The 'OMG' singer showcases her acting skills as she plays several versions of herself and also serves up some major choreography that we need to learn ASAP.
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)

Oh, but my heart is in Havana
My heart is in Havana (ayy)

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
Storyline? Check. Dancing? Uh huh. Hilarious moments? Too many. Easy-on-the-eyes love interests? CHECK. Camila in charge? Oh, that's always a check.
The video starts with a hilarious telenovela skit that Nerdy Camila watches at home before sneaking out to the cinema to watch Red-Hot Movie Star Camila get up close and personal on the dance floor with her love interest.
Nerdy cinema-goer Camila isn't satisfied with how the movie ends, prompting Movie Star Camila to tell her to write her own story. What happens next? Well, let's say it's a happy ending.
Camila performed 'Havana' at BBC's Radio 1 Teen Awards at the weekend and will take to the stage at the 2017 MTV EMAs on November 12th for what we expect to be a fiery rendition of the bop.
'Havana' is currently sitting at Number 2 on the UK Singles Chart for the third consecutive week but we think that might change this week thanks to this truly epic mini movie.
Video of the year? Maybe so...
