You just wish you could go out/Get a little naughty/But you’re drunk on FaceTime/One of us getting sloppy,” Dua and Corden sing together on ‘Don’t Start Now’, the lead single from the singer’s 2020 album ‘Future Nostalgia‘.

For ‘New Rules’, taken from Lipa’s 2017 self-titled debut, the duo sing to a couple sat two metres apart outside: “We’ve got new rules for dating/Safety is stimulating/It’s your neighbours you’re saving.”







In other news, Miley Cyrus teased recently that Dua Lipa will feature on her next album.

Cyrus told New Zealand’s The Edge radio that Dua and Billy Idol would appear on her record, after saying she had a song that sounds like if “Britney and Trent [Reznor] had a song together”.
