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.
Tears Dry On Their Own
Dua Lipa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I can ever be to you
Is the darkness that we knew
And this regret I've got accustomed to
Once it was so right we were at our high
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
And knew I hadn't met my match
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
And you don't owe nothing to
Me but to walk away i have no capacity
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
I don't understand
Why do I stress the man when there's
So many bigger things at hand?
We coulda never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you
A perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men
She walks away, the sun goes down
She takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
So we are history your shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze
I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
'Cause as we kiss goodbye the sun sets
So we are history the shadow covers me
The sky above, a blaze only lovers see
He walks away, the sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own
He walks away, the sun goes down
She takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, and my deep shade
My tears dry on their own, babe
My tears dry on their own
The lyrics to Dua Lipa and Gallant's song "Tears Dry On Their Own" convey a sense of regret, responsibility, and acceptance. The first verse explains that the singer can only be the darkness of the past relationship to the person they are speaking to. They have become accustomed to this regret and can never be anything more to this person. The second verse reflects on the time when the relationship was right and waiting for them in the hotel at night. The singer was happy then and didn't feel like they had met their match until they got attached. The chorus addresses how the person they were with took the day while they were grown and in this blue shade, their tears dry on their own.
The third verse questions her stressing over a man when there are bigger things to worry about. The relationship hit a wall and it was inevitable for them to withdraw from each other. The perspective pushes through, even if she stops wanting him, she will always be some other man's wife. She realizes she shouldn't play herself again and should just be her own best friend instead of getting caught up with stupid men. Finally, the chorus repeats, and the final verse reflects on the fact that they are now history, and the sky above is a blaze of color that only lovers see.

Lovin, lovin, lovin! I wish Dua went towards R&B, soul, jazz, instead of pop. Her voice is so deep and magical... Amazing cover!
@Jussara1376
Same.
@QuikLove
I do hope she can be the next Rihanna.
@richasharma581
+Quang Vũ she is far better than rihanna
@samanthabaiden-reid5974
+Quang Vũ You mean Brianna!!!
@aliv6321
Her vocals are mind blowing, I do like a few of her songs, but I definitely wish her productions were less pop centered and really allowed her vocals to come through! She can really stand on her own as a vocalist.
@kittymae
their voices together are just perfect
