Dua Lipa Recalls Feeling ‘So Upset’ While Promoting 2018 Debut Album: ‘Spread Myself Too Thin’

Dua Lipa has some “new rules” for herself when it comes to promoting her music.

In an interview with KISS The FM UK pop star, 28, opened up about feeling “so upset all the time” during a busy promotional schedule surrounding her 2018 self-titled debut album, which spawned the hits “New Rules” and “IDGAF”.

“There were so many times, I mean, when I first started when I was just constantly, like, constantly taking pictures and traveling and performing and I didn’t want to miss a single opportunity — especially in America — when I was watching late-night TV or breakfast TV or whatever.” , Lipa told host Harriet Rose about the accident early in her career.

Dua Lipa introduced her new song to a man on the street who barely knew who she was: ‘I’ve heard of Dua Lipa’

“A lot of the time I’d have to get up and perform — there was one American show I did, and I had 30 minutes before we started shooting to just, like, try to come up with a routine and dance and perform and do the thing,” the performer continued “Electricity”.

Lipa said she would “completely change” the way she approached that period of her life if she could.

“I never, ever wanted to go through that again. I will take care of everything I have time for, and I don’t pamper myself too much, and I take care of myself differently,” Lipa said about what she learned from the experience.

She added that a lot of her nerves stem from “the idea that there’s not enough time to do something right.”

The “Cold Heart” musician also talked about her new single “Houdini” in the interview. “It’s quite dark, clubby, after-hours with a lot of psychedelic influences,” she said of the track. “That’s my new thing.”

Lipa added that “sonically” she feels as if she is moving into a “completely different space”.

“It feels like a new entry, just for me. A refresh, a kind of rebirth,” she said of her new musical era.

Lipa released “Houdinija” on Friday. Ahead of the single’s announcement, the “Don’t Start Now” singer deleted her Instagram and TikTok and changed her Instagram profile picture to a new photo of herself and a kaleidoscopic picture on TikTok, x and streaming platforms.

The Grammy winner’s latest full-length album Nostalgia for the future was released in 2020 and featured some of her biggest songs to date, including “Levitating” and “Break My Heart”.

Although it’s been three years since the pop star released an LP, she’s released several hit singles since then. Most recently, Lipa contributed to “Dance the Night,” along with producer Mark Ronson Barbie soundtrack — and earned two Grammy nominations for the song.
