As with virtually all of his songs, Kenny G plays the saxophone on this track.

More noteworthy, however, is the fact that the song was remixed by two well-known DJs Todd Terry and Tony Moran.

These mixes gave the song a completely different sound, with an electronic house music backdrop layered in with the original recording.

These mixes were released to dance clubs on promotional 12-inch singles, and the remixed "Havana" went to number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in April 1997.

Both the original and dance versions received radio airplay in the United States as well.
