Dua Lipa has released a new song with a post-apocalyptic new music video.

The new release titled “Swan Song” ironically has Dua Lipa singing “This is not a swan song.” The song and video is taking from upcoming sci-fi movie Alita: Battle Angel. The setting of the video is a post-apocalyptic, destroyed city and among the dystopian rubble, Dua Lipa gathers the crowd for a bit of contemporary dance.

The video was directed by Floria Sigismondi and the song was co-written by Lipa, Justin Justin Tranter, Kennedi Lykken, Mattias Larsson, Robin Fredriksson and Tom Holkenborg. With such a big team working on the track, it’s no surprise that we can’t stop listening to it.

When describing his process for creating the video, Sigismondi said: “While in the film Alita is quite literally on a journey to discover who she is, her history serves as a really powerful allegory for any girl who doesn’t yet know her own power.”

He continued: “I wanted to play with that same profound notion by dropping Dua into a facet of Akita’s world and allowing Alita to serve as a surrogate that lends her on a journey to discover she’s stronger than she could have imagined.”

Alita: Battle Angel will be released in cinemas February 14.
