Don’t Start Now is the lead single from Dua Lipa’s second studio album, her second release of 2019, following “Swan Song” in January. The disco-inspired track kick starts Dua’s new era, first alluded to when a blonde-haired Dua took to social media on October 23, posting a snippet of the track, with the caption “Miss me?”
After the release of the song, Dua previewed a snippet of the music video via a trailer hours before the official music video was released.
Lyrics:
If you don't wanna see me
Did a full one eighty, crazy
Thinking 'bout the way I was
Did the heartbreak change me? Maybe
But look at where I ended up
I'm all good already
So moved on it's scary
I'm not where you left me at all
So if you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
Don't show up, don't come out
Don't start caring about me now
Walk away, you know how
Don't start caring about me now
Aren't you the guy who tried to
Hurt me with the word "goodbye"?
Though it took some time to survive you
I'm better on the other side
I'm all good already
So moved on it's scary
I'm not where you left me at all
So if you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
Don't show up, don't come out
Don't start caring about me now
Walk away, you know how
Don't start caring about me now
Don't come out
Don't show up
Don't start now
Don't come out
I'm not where you left me at all
So if you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
Don't show up (Don't show up), don't come out (Don't come out)
Don't start caring about me now ('bout me now)
Walk away (Walk away), you know how (You know how)
Don't start caring about me now
So (Don't come out, out, out)
(Don't show up, walk away, walk away)
So (Don't come out, out, out)
(Don't show up, walk away, walk away)
