Dua’s Disco Daze Paves Way for Barbie 2023

Pop icon Dua Lipa has once again made her mark in the music industry with her new release “Dance the Night.” The song serves as the lead single for the highly anticipated Barbie movie, set for release in July 2023. Not only does she lend her voice to the soundtrack, but she also makes her acting debut in the film as Mermaid Barbie.

Dua Lipa’s New Song

“Dance the Night” is an upbeat disco-infused track that aligns perfectly with the distinct style you’ll know from Future Nostalgia. The song was announced just a few days before its release, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement online. With lyrics that encourage dancing and good times, this song is an automatic contender for Big Gay Song of Summer.

In an interview with Variety magazine, Gerwig stated that “Barbie herself is too perfect…and so what you do is you create a character who has some edges,” hinting at how they have approached storytelling within their film.
