I'm glad No Lie (which was LIT when she did her part live when I saw her) made the top 10 and Thinking Bout Zzz didn't.

Y'all did "Homesick" so dirty. Also "No Lie" didn't deserve that lot of #21 :(
Happy with "Thinking Bout You" missing top 10

Written by Andrew Jackson, Amish Patel and Dua LipaWritten by Andrew Wyatt, Andrew Jackson and Dua Lipa Background:"Want To" and "Running" are two songs from Dua Lipa, which were meant to be included on her self-titled album, but they weren't because of the push backs. Even, there was a point where Dua mentioned that she didn't record the final versions of them, but looks like this wasn't true at all because "Running" leaked a week before the release of the album in June. Personal opinion:The live version of "Want To" follows the same dark pattern to "Last Dance", so I assume the studio version will be like that (if there is actually one, which I guess there is though). Regarding "Running", I'm pissed that it didn't make the final cut because it should have to. I mean, it's so good. :( Favourite lyric:• "Want To": "I won't stop / Not now / Guess what? / Hella, hella, it's my body right." • "Running": "Now I'm running for my life / Been too many miles / Trynna find the road to you." Background:"Bang Bang" is a cover of Cher's 1966 song "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and it's featured in the latest AW 17/18 Patrizia Pepe Advertising Campaign. The song was released last month in the Italian physical re-release special edition of the album. Personal opinion:There have been a lot of covers of this song, but the good thing about Dua's is that she makes her own with it. Favourite lyric:"He didn't even say goodbye / He didn't take the time to lie."

I was disappointed that Running didn't make the album, it's better than a good amount of the tracks that did.

Background:"Last Dance" is the final track of Dua Lipa's self-titled album and it's one of the five songs included in the deluxe version of it. The song was released as a single in February of last year. Personal opinion:This is my favourite song from Dua Lipa. Hands down. I think it's a little strange because I wasn't into it when it came out last year (probably because I was getting into "Be the One"?), but it grew on me a lot in the following months, especially after the album was released. Favourite lyric:"We could burn and crash / We could take a chance / Holdin' nothin' back / Like it's our last dance."

Welp, at least Last Dance finished top 5. It was the first one I heard from her. It's still on my personal chart in its 66th week.

Background:"Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" is the track #6 of Dua Lipa's self-titled album, which was released as a single in August of last year. This was the first single to be pushed in the US, which coincided with their WW release. Personal opinion:I like this, but I think it burnt on me a little. It's still a really good song though. Also, I like when she says 'mwah' in the track and I think it works there, adding something else to it. Favourite lyric:"If you don't like the way I talk, then why am I on your mind?"

For #3, two people lose their #1, while another two didn't rank this in their Top 10. Also, it has the third lowest standard deviation in this rankdown.

Background:"Hotter Than Hell" is the track #3 of Dua Lipa's self-titled album, which was released as a single in May of last year. The track was meant to be pushed in the US as the first single, but it was switched in favour of "Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" to coincide with their WW release. Personal opinion:I really like this and it has been one of my favourites since it was released as a single last year and I wish it could have lead the campaign in the US. Favourite lyric:"You're my manna from heaven / We all gotta get fed / Can let me know I'm wanted / Can let me in your head."

The Top 2 is next and it's between "Be the One" and "New Rules". There are 46 points between each other. Also, the #1 song has the lowest standard deviation in this rankdown.

Background:"Be the One" is the track #4 of Dua Lipa's self-titled album, which was released as a single in October of 2015. A year later, the track was re-released in the UK and it was pushed as the second US single as well this year. Personal opinion:I remember I listened to this around the time she released "Last Dance" last year and everything about is really good. I'm glad that this was re-released, so most people could get into it, but the US paid it dust. That's nothing new, of course. Favourite lyric:"Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you / Just another chance so that I can show / That I won't let you down and run."

Well... that's it! :)
Once again, I'm so sorry that it took much longer than I initially expected to make the revealing of this rankdown, but I hope you still like it. If not, you will be banned. (jk) Anyway, I figured it out that you will like more or less some songs between the time you submitted and nowadays. Oops!

I'm sure it's recency bias, but I feel like "New Rules" probably beats out "Be The One" and "Hotter Than Hell" for me now (what's my #3 again, "Genesis?" that too). I didn't care for it at first because the snippet she shared before its release (of the latter part of the chorus) was weird to me, but its release as a single and iconic video certainly reversed that opinion for me, so no qualms here about it being at #1!
Most importantly, glad to see this rankdown completed, sir! Also please release "Bang Bang" worldwide Dua sis OK thanks.

"New Rules" slayed this as expected, and deservedly so as it is definitely her best song imo! <3
