Dua Lipa began to write her name in the music industry. Lipa gained attention from the specialized media as an artist after the release of her debut album in 2017, "Dua Lipa" (self-titled). It won the third position on the UK Albums Chart and featured eight singles. "New Rules" and "IDGAF" have become global hits, reaching the number 1 position in countries such as Australia, Belgium, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, as well as reaching the top ten positions in more than 30 countries, including the USA for "New Rules" . The album featured the hits "One Kiss" with Calvin Harris, "Be The One", "Scared To Be Lonely" with Martin Garrix, "No Lie" with Sean Paul and many others. It later received 5 nominations at the BRITs Awards, the most important British awards ceremony in music. She also won with her debut album two Grammys, "Best Dance Recording" for her song "Electricity" with Silk City, and moreover the "Best New Artist" award. "Dua Lipa" (self-titled) is the most streamed female album of all-time on Spotify.
But Lipa's great success would even come in her second album "Future Nostalgia", which made the promising young woman a true pillar of world pop music. Having hits such as "Don't Start Now", "Break My Heart" and "Levitating" , the album is currently the most played female album of the 2020's decade on Spotify and secured a Grammy at the 2021 ceremony for "Best Pop Vocal Album" and was present among the nominations for "Album of the Year". It also won the Brit Award for "Album of the Year". "Future Nostalgia" is the 2nd most streamed female album of all-time on Spotify. "Don't Start Now" became her most streamed hit on Spotify, nominated for "Record of the Year" at the Grammys. It was the biggest female song of the year 2020.
The British phenomenon has captured an all-time record on the Billboard Hot 100, all thanks to the success of "Levitating". The track became the longest-charting female song on the chart, with 77 weeks, being the 4th song overall to reach this astonishing feat. The same track became the biggest hit of 2021 in the United States and globally without ever reaching #1, proving once and for all that the disputed #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100, that she still doesn't have reached, doesn't define the success of an artist. For Lipa, it seems that longevity is more important than an instant success.
Her newest hit with Elton John and PNAU, "Cold Heart" is one of the biggest hits of 2022. She had during that year a sold-out global stadium and arena tour with "The Future Nostalgia Tour", marking her as a definitive icon of the beginning of the 2020's decade, especially in the European continent, her main music market.
She is set to begin her third album cycle in 2023, while also making her expected acting debut that year with "Barbie" and "Argylle" in 2024.

Dua Lipa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To pick you up off the ground
When the weight of the world's
Too heavy on you dry your tears if you cry
Be the light to your fire
Pull you out of the dark if
That's what you're going through
But we're not letting go without a fight
Right?
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be perfect to make it work
Keep it real so we don't have to fake it
Instead of giving you up on I give my all
Hold on, I know we can make it
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Ain't nobody alive
Could take you out of my mind
You came into my life right when I needed you
We don't like playing games
We just cut to the chase
'Cause we both get each other high
We both know love is fucking crazy
But we're not letting go without a fight
Right?
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be perfect to make it work
Keep it real so we don't have to fake it
Instead of giving you up on I give my all
Hold on, I know we can make it
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be so complicated
I, I i lose my mind
When I'm by your side i lose my mind
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be perfect to make it work
Keep it real so we don't have to fake it
Instead of giving you up on I give my all
Hold on, I know we can make it
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be perfect to make it work
Keep it real so we don't have to fake it
Instead of giving you up on I give my all
Hold on, I know we can make it
Doesn't have to be so complicated
Doesn't have to be so complicated

Lyric
Pour another drink, I don't wanna think
Oh, it's been a long day
Get out of your head, smoking on my bed
Put that song on replay
Don't worry now, look what we found
We don't have to go all-in
Head in the clouds, both looking down
Doesn't mean that we're falling, oh
We can keep it simple, baby
Let's not make it complicated
Labels are so overrated
Let's not make it complicated
Rules are meant for breaking, baby
Let's not make it complicated
Why don't we just go get naked?
Let's not make it complicated
Let's not make it complicated
Let's not make it complicated
Skinny dip at night, I can see your eyes
Searchin' through the shadows
You don't have to fight, I'll let you decide
I can help you let go
Don't worry now, look what we found
We don't have to go all-in
Head in the clouds, both looking down
Doesn't mean that we're falling, oh
We can keep it simple, baby
Let's not make it complicated
Labels are so overrated
Let's not make it complicated
Rules are meant for breaking, baby
Let's not make it complicated
Why don't we just go get naked?
Let's not make it complicated
Let's not make it complicated
Let's not make it complicated
Let's not make it complicated
We can keep it simple, baby
Let's not make it complicated
Labels are so overrated
Let's not make it complicated
Rules are meant for breaking, baby
Let's not make it complicated
Why don't we just go get naked?
Let's not make it complicated
Let's not make it complicated

Dear reader,
I don't know you and you don't know me.
Probably we are not even living in the same
country. We look different. We speak
different languages. Maybe we are from
entirely different generations. We are just
complete strangers.
But there is something that connects us. We
both have great taste in music
Thank you for being here. God bless you,
whoever you are.
