Camila Cabello's 'Havana' was a slow-burn success that almost didn't happen. Her label was initially hesitant to release it as a lead single, preferring her more 'pop-focused' tracks. However, the song gained massive traction on streaming services, forcing a change in strategy. Featuring a verse by Young Thug, the song pays homage to Cabello's Cuban heritage. It eventually reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for seven weeks on the Pop Songs radio chart. In 2018, it was named the best-selling digital single of the year worldwide by the IFPI. The song's success is credited with helping to normalize Latin-influenced sounds in American Top 40 radio during the late 2010s.
