Geboortedatum	22-08-1995
Land	Verenigd Koninkrijk

Dua Lipa werd geboren in Londen en ging op 11-jarige leeftijd terug naar Kosovo waar haar ouders vandaan komen. Na een paar jaar weet ze haar ouders te overtuigen om toch terug te gaan naar Londen omdat ze dolgraag succesvol wilde worden als zangeres. In 2015 verschijnt haar eerste single, New Love, dat wordt opgevolgd door Be The One.

Halverwege februari 2016 wordt Be The One Alarmschijf en later dat voorjaar bereikt ze de vijfde plaats in de Top 40. Ook de opvolger, Hotter Than Hell, wordt Alarmschijf en komt tot nummer 10. Ondertussen start haar eerste tournee door het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Europa en wordt Blow Your Mind (Mwah) in augustus haar volgende single. In november leent ze haar vocalen aan No Lie, een track van Sean Paul die door Radio 538 wordt uitgeroepen tot Alarmschijf.

Begin 2017 is Dua Lipa te horen op Scared To Be Lonely van Martin Garrix. Het wordt haar vierde top 10-hit en komt zelfs op nummer 2. Op Koningsdag treedt ze op tijdens 538Koningsdag in Breda. Van haar debuutalbum, dat op 2 juni verschijnt, worden Lost In Your Light en New Rules als single gekozen. Op het moment dat New Rules haar grootste Top 40-succes wordt kiest Radio 538 Homesick, waarop Chris Martin ook te horen is, als Alarmschijf.

In 2018 wordt IDGAF (I Don't Give A Fuck) haar volgende single waarmee ze niet veel later haar zevende top 10-hit op rij weet te scoren. In april levert ze met Calvin Harris het nummer One Kiss af. De track staat 16 weken op nummer 1 en pakt daarmee het record van langst genoteerde nummer 1-hit aller tijden. In september brengt Dua een nieuwe uitvoering van haar debuutalbum met daarop ook de track Electricity dat ze samen met Silk City maakt.

In 2019 verschijnen de singles Swan Song en Don't Start Now.

Songtekst

One, one, one

Talkin' in my sleep at night
Makin' myself crazy
Out of my mind, out of my mind
Wrote it down and read it out
Hopin' it would save me
Too many times, too many times

My love
He makes me feel like nobody else
Nobody else
But my love
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself
I tell myself

One
Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling, cause he's drunk and alone
Two
Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three
Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him

I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself

I keep pushin' forwards
But he keeps pullin' me backwards
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to turn (No way, no)
Now I'm standing back from it
I finally see the pattern
I never learn, I never learn

But my love
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself
I tell myself
I do, I do, I do

One
Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling, cause he's drunk and alone
Two
Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three
Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him

I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself

Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna' learn it by heart
I got new rules, I count 'em
Eat, sleep, and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, cause I
I got new, I got new, I

One
Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling, cause he's drunk and alone
Two
Don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three
Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him
You ain't getting over him

I got new rules, I count 'em
I got new rules, I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules, I count 'em (Baby, you know I count 'em)
I gotta tell them to myself

Don't you let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, you gettin' over him
