Dua Lipa Continues Her Disco-Pop Hot Streak With New Song 'Break My Heart'

As soon as Dua Lipa sang "don't show up, don't come out" on "Don't Begin Now," she might as well have been lecturing herself. The Brit singer's latest single, "Break My Heart," arrived on Wednesday evening (March 25) and it's full of "shoulda, woulda, coulda's" about her relationship choices.


"I should've stayed at residence / 'Cause right now there ain't no letting you go," she sings on the hook, ironically giving us social distancing inspiration over a funky bass line and sweeping strings. She continues by wondering if she's gotten herself in also deep, asking, "Am I falling in love with the one that could break my heart?" Like "Don't Begin Right now before it, "Break My Heart" lands Dua back in that retro-futuristic, disco-pop territory that's been elevating her sound as of late.


Dua teased this week that a video for her latest release will arrive on Thursday, however up until then, press play on "Break My Heart" below.


Earlier this week, Dua announced that her sophomore album, Future Nostalgia, will arrive on Friday: one week before its originally scheduled release. She's far from the only artist to shuffle release dates around because of the continuous coronavirus pandemic, and she briefly talked about that decision throughout a chat on Miley Cyrus's Bright Minded talk show on Wednesday.


"I was toying with the idea of whether I should push [the release date]," Dua mentioned. However it's scary to put out a record now, maybe music is what we need. It's good to get people to dance and to have fun."


and also "Break My Heart" and lead single "Don't Begin Right now Future Nostalgia will also include the wonderfully weird title track and the '80s-tastic "Physical," which recently got a K-pop remix. All signs point to the album being an absolute must-hear.
