Dua Lipa’s song “Dance the Night,” from Barbie, gains 200 Million Streams on Spotify. This is her 26th song to achieve this milestone.
Since its feature in Barbie, fans have not been able to get enough of the song. Since the song’s release, millions of people have streamed it. “Dance the Night” is the only song on the Barbie soundtrack to reach such heights.
“Levitating,” “Don’t Start Now,” and “New Rules” are some of Dua Lipa’s best-known songs to reach this high level of momentum. Fans seem to find this latest hit just as irresistible as the rest of her discography.
Recently, the Albanian singer shared behind the scene footage of writing “Dance the Night.”
Mark Ronson, who was seen in the footage, worked on “Dance the Night” with the singer. He commented on the process of working with Dua Lipa on his Instagram, stating, ”The first time we worked on ‘Dance the Night’, we wrote a whole damn song that we all loved… but we didn’t have the scene yet cause it was still being edited. Then a few months later, we saw the scene and Dua was like “f**k, this is so good and so fun, we need to rewrite the whole thing to complement what’s going on.”
Ronson then elaborated on making the song flow with Barbie, “We went in my studio, turned the scene on and let the beat rock. Dua started to freestyle lyrics that fed right off what Margot was doing. I started to get goosebumps, especially on the ‘come along for the ride’ line, but even more detailed, Dua was like, ‘I want to sing the word ‘up’ right when her hands swing to the sky.’”
With the help of fan’s votes, Dua Lipa is now nominated for Best Pop and Choreography at the 2023 VMAs.
She posted on her Twitter stating that she is grateful for the nomination and thanked the fans for their votes followed by a pair of red heart emojis.
