The extended edit includes a new lyrical segment in the song. Between the second verse and chorus, Dua croons, “Weave the ceilin’ from tomorrow/ Free the people from daylight/ All the plans go out the window/ When we’re out this late at night.” Fans have been eagerly anticipating Dua’s upcoming musical chapter since she confirmed in an interview that her third studio album is slated for release sometime in 2024. Lipa hinted at a different musical direction for this album while emphasizing her commitment to maintaining a pop essence, stating, “lest her ‘fans have a meltdown.'” She also expressed a desire to avoid “alienating” her audience but teased a departure from disco, leaning toward the sounds of “1970s-era psychedelia.”

Although Dua hasn’t disclosed more specifics about the album, it will follow her previous works: 2020’s “Future Nostalgia” and her 2017 self-titled album, “Dua Lipa.”
