Dua Lipa reveals new single "Physical" is dropping next week

24 January 2020, 11:12 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Dua Lipa has announced that her next Future Nostalgia single "Physical" is landing next week.

"Physical" will be the third single to be lifted from Dua Lipa's forthcoming second album, after last month's title-track "Future Nostalgia", and lead single "Don't Start Now".

Dua Lipa announced the new release this morning (24 January), revealing it'll arrive on 31 January.

Speaking about her forthcoming second album, Dua Lipa explains, "What I wanted to do with this album was to break out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to make music that felt like it could sit alongside some of my favourite classic pop songs, whilst still feeling fresh and uniquely mine. I was inspired by so many artists on the new record from Gwen Stefani to Madonna to Moloko to Blondie and Outkast, to name just a few."

She adds, "Because of the time that I’d spent on the road touring with my band I wanted Future Nostalgia to have a lot more of a live element, but mixed together with modern electronic production. My sound has naturally matured a bit as I’ve grown up but I wanted to keep the same pop sensibility as I had on the first record. I remember that I was on my way to a radio show in Las Vegas thinking about the direction for this new record and I realised that what I wanted to make was something that felt nostalgic but had something fresh and futuristic about it too."

"Physical" arrives in full next Friday (31 January). Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia album is yet to get a release date. She'll play London's O2 Arena on 26 and 27 May. Find out more.
