Dua Lipa's rise over the last few years has been fascinating to watch. She was building steam long before her self-titled debut album came out in 2017. Since then, smash hits "New Rules" and "One Kiss" have launched her into radio-ready pop stardom far beyond her native UK. Earlier this year, that success garnered her a Best New Artist award at the Grammys, where she also gave super sultry performance with St. Vincent.
Today, she's releasing a new song called "Don't Start Now," which she says is meant to announce a new, disco-inspired era. As Lipa explains in a press release, "I chose to put this song out first so I could close one chapter of my life and start another. Into a new era with a new sound! It's about moving on and not allowing anyone to get in the way of that. It also felt like a natural first song choice as I made it with the brilliant same crew I made 'New Rules' with."
The video for "Don't Start Now" is directed by Nabil, one of the masters of the form. Watch below.
