Don't Start Now by Dua Lipa Behind The Lyrics

  • The track is the British pop star's first single off her highly anticipated 2020 sophomore album.

  • The release comes two years after she dropped her self-titled 2017 debut.

  • Lipa made "Don't Start Now" with the  team behind her breakout hit "New Rules": songwriters Emily Warren and Caroline Ailin and producer lan Kirkpatrick.
  • Lipa says this "disco-influenced"  song is the perfect intoduction to the next chapter in her career.

  • Lipa: "It's quite different from my other stuff but it's still a pop record."

  • "I also ended up listening to Prince, Outkast, old Gwen Stefani and No Doubt. It sounds like such crazy clash of styles, but that's just how I like to do things."

Though it took some time to 
survive you 
I'm better on the other side
I'm all good already 
So moved on, it's scary
I'm not where you left me at all

  • Lyrically, Lipa says "Don't Start Now" marks the end of an old chapter in her life.

  • "I chose to put this song out first so I could close one chapter of my life and start another."

  • "It's all about moving on and not allowing anyone to get in the way of that."
  • "The second I heard it back, once it got sent to me, I was like, 'OK, this is what I want to lead with.'"

  • Lipa considers her sophomore effort a lot more "mature" than her debut.

  • Lipa told Vogue: "With the first record, there were no expectation, but now there's a lot more pressure."

  • "Everyone talks about how difficult the crazy second record is, but in terms of writing it's been way easier."
  • "I feel like I really know myself a lot better. I know what I want to write about, I know how to express my feelings."

  • "I know how to talk about things and to allow myself to be vulnerable."

  • "For the first record all I could do really was a lot of dance-crying."
