Dua Lipa Is Back Serving In The Studio, Everything We Know About Her New Album

September 7, 2026

No thoughts, head empty, except for the fact that Dua Lipa is officially back in the studio and we are screaming.

Mother dropped a casual photo dump on the ‘Gram looking gorgeous behind the mic, and the internet is collectively losing its mind. Is DL4 actually happening already? Let’s break down the tea because the lore is getting deep.

The Avengers of Pop Music Are Assembling

She didn’t just pop into the studio alone—she brought out the ultimate lineup.

Greg Kurstin is in the house (the brain behind literally all your favorite hits).
Ali Tamposi is there writing absolute bangers.
Mustafa was spotted, bringing those immaculate lyrical vibes.

AND—wait for it—Troye Sivan made a random cameo in the slide deck? We have zero confirmation if he’s actually featured on a track or just hanging out being iconic, but the main character energy is through the roof. Imagine a Dua x Troye collab… the serve would be lethal.

DL4 or Just a Side Quest?

Okay, so real talk: Radical Optimism dropped in 2024, gave us absolute anthems like “Houdini,” and she just wrapped up her massive world tour in Mexico City at the end of 2025. She could easily be taking a nap right now, but instead, she’s back in her element making music. We love a hard-working queen.

Her team hasn’t officially confirmed DL4 yet, and nobody knows if these sessions are for a whole new era or just a secret side project. But let’s be real: Dua is back in the lab, the vibes are immaculate, and whatever she’s cooking up is going to feed us for months.

Stay tuned. The pop emergency hotline is officially on standby.
