Last Dance
Dua Lipa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fatal, this attraction
Yeah, we might just end up crashin'
But I'm ready if it happens with you
Meet me out in Cali when I'm far away from family
And I need someone to hold onto

You're the only thing I know
And I don't wanna let this go
Close to you I feel, feel like I'm at home
Can't wait 'til we're alone

We were built to last
We were built like that
Baby, take my hand
Dive in this romance
We could burn and crash
We could take a chance
Holdin' nothin' back
Like it's our last dance

Like it's our last dance
Like it's our last dance

My heart wide open
Fallin' in and out of focus
Pressure flowin' like a river in my head
Crying you ain't with me and it's floodin' the whole city
While my soul's burnin' like a cigarette

You're the only thing I know
And I don't wanna let this go
Close to you I feel, feel like I'm at home
Can't wait 'til we're alone

We were built to last
We were built like that
Baby, take my hand
Dive in this romance
We could burn and crash
We could take a chance
Holdin' nothin' back
Like it's our last dance

Like it's our last dance
Like it's our last dance
Like it's our last dance
Like it's our last dance

Way too soon to feel so strong
Way too young to hurt so long
I'm hurtin'
Was it worth it?
Way too soon to feel so strong
Way too young to hurt so long
I'm hurtin'
Was it worth it?

Like it's our last dance
Like it's our last dance
Like it's our last dance

I'll fall in love
I'll fall in love
I'll fall in love
I'll fall in love
I'll fall in love




I'll fall in love
I'll fall in love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dua Lipa's "Last Dance" are about being in a relationship that is intense and passionate, but also potentially doomed to crash and burn. Lipa sings about how she feels fatal attraction to someone and how they might end up crashing, but she is ready to take the risk with that person. She wants to be close to them, even if it means she has to travel to California to be with them.


Lipa uses emotive language throughout the song to convey the intensity of her feelings for this person. The lyrics also suggest a sense of urgency, as if the couple knows that their time together may be limited, hence why they must treat each moment like it's their last dance.


The repetition of the phrases "We were built to last" and "Like it's our last dance" reinforces the idea that this relationship is both fleeting and enduring at the same time. The lyrics suggest a willingness to take risks and dive headfirst into a romance, holding nothing back in the process.


Overall, "Last Dance" is about the intense and often complicated nature of romantic relationships. It speaks to the idea that love can be both exhilarating and terrifying, and that sometimes we just have to take that leap of faith and hope for the best.

😢heart broken.
And YOU,
are the cure.
Your spirited souls presence, hugs mine and all my broken pieces seem never to have been broken at all.

Now....
Shattered into even more of a mess.
...looks like the 1st mess I can't find the energy to clean up.
.....alone.

I pray I'm wrong....BUT, THERE IS no light at the end of THIS TUNNEL.
Nor strength to travel any further to try and find one.😢
