My A&R played me this song two years ago, and I instantly hated it. I was like, “Please never play me this again.” But a year down the line, when I was writing, he sat me down and was like, “I have something to play you.” And he just played the instrumental and I was like, “This is actually really good with no lyrics.” I went into the studio with Tove Lo and just had fun exploring. It has some Prince influences, and it was a range of my voice I hadn’t tried. This whole album was about exploring growth and trying out new things, so I wanted to embrace challenges. We wrote something that felt really real to me, and it’s just a romantic, summery song, about meeting someone who has you losing all your cool. - Dua Lipa.
The demo before Tove & Dua Remade it was called "Flamingos in the Pool" Which was demoed by Kamille.

Hit me harder than I ever expected (ooh-ooh)
We've been up all goddamn night, all night, all night (ah-ha)
Keep it going 'til we see the sunlight
When the color of the sky lookin' nice, so nice
You know, you know, you know
Baby, I can see us in the real life
Got me losin' all my cool
'Cause I'm burnin' up on you
In control of what I do
And I love the way you move
We got the heat and the thrill
Gives you more than any pill
Never runnin' out of juice
When it's only me and you
You got me, you got me losin' all my cool
I guess we're ready for the summer
I like us better when we're intertwined (ah-ha)
The way you touch me got me losin' my senses (hey)
Put your love with your lips on mine, on mine, on mine (ah-ha)
You got me workin' up an appetite, 'tite
When the color of the sky lookin' nice, so nice
You know, you know, you know

Dear Dua,
I don’t know if my message will be read but I think this song must be the next single.
The single of Summer 2k22.
Maybe all fans will agree and stand with me to encourage you to do so.
All people need this kind of energy/vibes for being good.
For being cool.
This song is a good example.
Hugs from Somewhere.

Every song from Future Nostalgia has the potential to be a single, that's how you know how good this album is...

@A-XIII
That's how I felt about her debut album though too, she's able to pull out hit after hit, minus Room for 2.

unpopular opinion: Cool deserves to be a single cause it’s one of the best songs in Future Nostalgia even though all Future Nostalgia songs are the best
