Obsessed with this mix. You can tell there is a sequence behind but everyone is playing live and singing on top and grooving. Love it

[ncallaway]

THE BEST SONG FROM THE its soooo good. my other favorites are falling forever & end of an era

[ciellaaaaaaa]

do you know what is the most fun? the thing we could observe musicians are happy on the stage while doing what they are doing; dancing, singing, playing the instrument with a full blast smile on their faces! they are enjoying their work at that moment. watching this is satisfying as much as how good the song or performance is.

Despite all the claim she has, I still think she is underrated. In these days where pop has to be deep and a concept, not just be pop, I feel she gets crtiticized for doing just pop with no other intention then to sing and entertain. But that should not be a bad thing, that is a hard thing to do too and she works hard to entertain people. Feel good pop like this has a value too..

[stuartwigmore]

Great song with a killer phrygian mode chord progression. Cool bells mixed in with the piano gives it an almost Goth vibe. Love the synth solo too Georgie!

[winnizkid]

Dua is incredible, as always. But huge kudos to the musicians; they are AMAZING.

[jackrantowich]

I said it on a different video, same song, for all those who can remember back in the 70's 80's and hearing some of those disco hits being played, this track has that vibe all over it. Keyboards, violin, and those background singers when come in and overlay the vocals, oh and I could hear a bell in there as well! Classic Disco with a new vibe twist of today. Music is timeless and this will be one of those tracks that will always be played for decades to come!! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[kevinhaney]

Just amazing, love this girl ! She has changed so much in the last 3 years. She is something else ? Nobody else is close to having this special talent. Good on you Dua

[freddysasari]

Dua Lipa no deja de sorprender. ¡Qué Diosa!.

[splodge]

I don't know if another artist that has improved so much in singing, dancing and stage presence as Dua Lipa.
