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.
Love Is Religion
Dua Lipa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancing, dancing in your eyes
So how do I begin to tell you now
That I can be the one to bring your angel out?
In this life of sin
I can be your muse, I can be your ally
I can be your moon, I can be your sacrifice
Put your hands together and close your eyes
Tell me you believe, get down on your knees
They say love is religion, so say a prayer with me
I don't wanna preach, but I'm all that you need
They say love is religion, so say a prayer with me
They say love is religion
There's a fire
Rising in my heart like a choir
I can hear them singing our favorite song
The one that played while I was layin' in your arms
Just let me stay in your arms 'cause
I can be your gold, I can be your delight
I can be feed your soul, I can be your sacrifice
I can be forever, little touch of Heaven for life
Put your hands together and close your eyes
Tell me you believe, get down on your knees
They say love is religion, so say a prayer with me
I don't wanna preach, but I'm all that you need
They say love is religion, so say a prayer with me
(Love is a religion)
Put your hands together and close your eyes
(Love is a religion)
Put your hands together and close your eyes
(Love is a religion)
Put your hands together and close your eyes
(Love is a religion)
Put your hands together and close your eyes
They say love is religion
(Put your hands together and close your eyes)
They say love is religion
(Put your hands together and close your eyes)
They say love is religion
(Put your hands together and close your eyes)
They say love is religion
(Put your hands together and close your eyes)
They say love is religion
(Put your hands together and close your eyes)
They say love is religion
(Put your hands together and close your eyes)
This is Yaeji, and you're listening to Club Future Nostalgia
They say love is religion
(Put your hands together and close your eyes)
If you don't wanna see me
The song "Love is Religion" is a testament to Dua Lipa's ability to experiment with her music while staying true to her signature dancefloor-ready beats. The song begins with the description of the lights dancing in someone's eyes, and the singer wanting to express her love for them. She desires to be the one who can bring out their inner light, despite living in a world that is full of sin. The song then transitions into a plea for the other person to believe in their love, to get down on their knees and say a prayer with the singer. The chorus repeats the phrase "love is religion" as a mantra, and the singer offers to be the partner's ally, muse, moon, gold, and delight.
The second verse of the song builds on the theme of love as a religion, with the singer describing the growing fire in her heart – like a choir singing their favorite song – and her desire to stay in her partner's arms. She again offers to be the person who can feed their soul and be their sacrifice, providing a touch of heaven for their lives. The chorus repeats, with the added refrain of "put your hands together and close your eyes" making the listener feel like they are in church, experiencing a moment of spiritual connection.
Overall, "Love is Religion" is a song about the power of love and its ability to transform and transcend. It combines elements of pop, dance, and electronic music, creating a unique blend that is both energetic and spiritual.

I see the lights
I can see the excitement in your eyes
Dancing, dancing in your eyes
Your eyes are glowing with joy and happiness
So how do I begin to tell you now
I am unsure of how to express my feelings to you
That I can be the one to bring your angel out?
I can help you become the best version of yourself
In this life of sin
In this corrupt world we live in
I can be your muse, I can be your ally
I can inspire and support you through life
I can be your moon, I can be your sacrifice
I can provide light, guidance, and make sacrifices for you
I can be forever, little touch of Heaven tonight
I can be with you forever and bring happiness to your life tonight
Put your hands together and close your eyes
Let us come together and pray for our love
Tell me you believe, get down on your knees
Prove your love by showing your faith in us
They say love is religion, so say a prayer with me
Love is like a faith and we need to offer our devotion to it
I don't wanna preach, but I'm all that you need
I am not trying to lecture you but I am the one you need in your life
There's a fire
There is a burning passion inside me
Rising in my heart like a choir
My love is growing and expanding like a music ensemble
I can hear them singing our favorite song
I can imagine us being happy together listening to our favorite tune
The one that played while I was layin' in your arms
The moment we cuddled and shared our love
Just let me stay in your arms 'cause
I want to be held by you forever
I can be your gold, I can be your delight
I can provide wealth and happiness to your life
I can be feed your soul, I can be your sacrifice
I can nurture your inner spirit and make sacrifices for you
I can be forever, little touch of Heaven for life
I will be with you eternally and bring a piece of paradise to your life
They say love is religion, so say a prayer with me
Love is a spiritual experience and we should acknowledge it together
(Love is a religion)
If you don't wanna see me
If you don't want to be with me
