British pop star Dua Lipa released a new song titled “Dance the Night” this week. The song serves as a lead single from the soundtrack for the upcoming Barbie movie.
“Dance the Night” is a product of Lipa’s collaboration with Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, who wrote the music for Barbie, and Norwegian singer and songwriter Caroline Ailin. It comes with a Barbie-inspired music video that sees the singer going through various pink-heavy studio sets.
Barbie is currently scheduled to be released on July 21, 2023. It is directed and co-written by Greta Gerwig while starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, respectively. The rest of the star-studded cast includes Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell, and John Cena.
Dua Lipa will make an appearance in the Barbie movie as well, starring as Mermaid Barbie. This will be her acting debut.
Lipa is also believed to be wrapping up her third studio album, which should come out at some point in 2023. The singer didn’t share much detail on the album so far but shared that it will be a “really personal” release. Her most recent studio effort was 2020’s Future Nostalgia.
