Dua Lipa – New Rules

“New Rules” – Single by Dua Lipa from the album Dua Lipa. Released on July 7, 2017.

The song was written by Caroline Ailin, Emily Warren and Ian Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick also handled the production and offered it to Lipa after it was rejected by multiple artists. The song was released through Warner Bros. Records for digital download and streaming on 7 July 2017 as the album’s seventh single.

The music video for “New Rules” was directed by Henry Scholfield and takes place at the Confidante Hotel in Miami. It features Lipa staying at a hotel room with her friends, who prevent her from getting back together with her former boyfriend. The video was met with critical acclaim, some of whom commended its themes of female empowerment. It made Lipa the youngest female artist with a video to surpass one billion views on YouTube. The video was nominated for British Music Video of the Year at the 2018 Brit Awards and Best Choreography at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards. Lipa promoted the song with performances at the 2017 BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards, 2018 Brit Awards and 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Remixes by Alison Wonderland, Kream and SG Lewis were released for further promotion.

When this leapt from #5 to #1 on the UK singles chart dated August 20, 2017, Dua Lipa became the first female solo act to reach peak position in almost two years. Adele was the previous member of the fairer sex to achieve the feat when “Hello” claimed the top spot in October 2015.

This was ranked #1 on Time magazine’s Top Songs of 2017 list. They wrote: “‘New Rules’ works so well because it’s both stylish and layered: As an escapist fantasy of girl-power, it’s a triumph, but as a rallying cry to buck the status quo, it’s even better.”

The song was written and produced by Ian Kirkpatrick (Jason DeRulo’s “Want to Want Me,” Nick Jonas “Levels” and Selena Gomez’s “Bad Liar”). There was additional writing from frequent Chainsmokers collaborator Emily Warren and Caroline Ailin.
