Idk why but of those leaked tracks
I lately been loving Cherry

[Mylo13 💜]

Good In Bed remains the best but I hope we get a Love Again or Hallucinate release next!

[Deleted]

Still hoping we Cool as a summer single
Come on ya'll

Tove would like her songwriting legacies and coin

[kmbgs]

Hallucinate is a classic waiting to be released

[Deleted]

I feel like it's gonna be her collaboration with J Balvin & Bad Bunny titled "Plateado" that will be released next. Dua and her team were reuniting to film something.

I really hope that Capital FM's tweet is a hint of her next single. "Physical" is out of the question obviously because it was already promoted in the UK, so I hope it's "Hallucinate" instead of "Levitating". The main reason of this is because "Break My Heart" hasn't peaked in the US yet and they could save "Levitating" to be pushed in the US as well.

I just really want music videos for both Hallucinate and Levitating and this would be the best way to get both. I like the idea of Hallucinate pulling a Physical and then Levitating pushed worldwide at the end of summer.

[Au$tin]

Levitating and Cool are all I'm asking for at this point.

[Janhova's Witness]

Cool NEEDS to be the next single, it just has to be. Halluvitating can come after that 😍

Last month I would have disagreed, but I agree now. BMH won't peak in the US until at least early August, and WW needs something now.

However...

[Juan Carlos]

That tweet should be a hint because it's coming from her label, so it implies that they're thinking about "Levitating" right now. Also, you're right that she needs a new single right now. "Break My Heart" is on course of being into ACR in the UK, so she basically needs a new single. "Levitating" is a good choice as a single to be honest and I don't think any has doubts about that, but this has more chances to be pushed in the US too, so it would be better if they wait and promotes another song in the meantime (like "Hallucinate", for example).

[#brayden]

"Break My Heart" won't be finished in the US anytime soon and could have longevity comparable to "Don't Start Now." These recent clues seem to be pointing towards "Levitating" as the next single, but I expect it'll get a limited release just like "Physical" so "BMH" can wrap up properly in the US + Canada.

I think "Love Again" will come after and go the "DSN" / "BMH" worldwide release route. She's indicated it's her favorite (it's mine too) and I think it's a better choice for US radio than "Levitating" and especially "Hallucinate."

Cool or Love Again please.

[kimberly]

omg "Good in Bed" is all I can think about lmao

but yeah this could be "Love Again" since it's Dua's favorite and clearly about Anwar.

[Deleted]

^Yeah, that sounds likely.

And then “Levitating” can get a big budget video next, when restrictions will be less; hopefully, that is.

Based on the description of The Sun's article, it makes me think of "Love Again". However, someone at PopJustice mentioned that the music video is for "Levitating" and the 'think more about legacy' sentence was added later, so I'm inclined to guess that there will be a single version of the song featuring Nile Rodgers. As a side note, it was also mentioned by someone on BuzzJack that "Hallucinate" was played as a 'New to 2' track on BBC Radio 2, so... that's interesting.

Either way, as far as I remember, she told Billboard that she and her team were working on a video (for her next single) from home two months ago. I highly doubt this was scrapped, so I assume there are going to be three videos for three different songs, being "Hallucinate", "Levitating" and "Plateado". As a consequence, that home video should be for "Hallucinate" and it might be ready to go, hence the reason why Radio 2 has begun playing the song and it should be playlisted in the upcoming weeks.

[aussie1]

Any song could honestly be used aside from the last two on the album or the opening track. So whatever they choose it's fine with me.

They said it's "unexpected" so I doubt that it will be Nile.

Edit: It seems to be fake.

Although the mention of '(entirely) unexpected' was edited and the 'think more about legacy' post was deleted, I still think that the music video they shot was for "Levitating", so I guess that they exaggerated a little bit. The possible collaboration in the track could turn out to be true or false, but in case it's the former, I assume it's Nile Rodgers or CHIC because of the production, which is very Nile Rodgers-esqué at this point and his input may actually do wonders to the track.

I don't believe it, it's fake! He's a nobody and BOZ doesn't even know about it, that tells a lot.

She's the cover girl of Elle Canada for the Summer 2020 issue, which you could read it here.

omg it's just an outtake from her ELLE US shoot a couple months back but I will gladly take it

[#brayden]

I guess it's old-ish news now, but I see that she filmed a video with her boyfriend. I could be delusional, but that definitely makes me think "Love Again" is coming next. I recall her saying she was excited for everyone to hear that one as well in an interview somewhere which could have been another hint.

I'm guessing "Levitating" will still be a single, though. Based on that tweet from Capital FM and the post from Warner UK, I'm guessing it'll go the route of "Physical" and now "Hallucinate" apparently. UK exclusive single while "Love Again" goes worldwide. Why else would Capital FM put "Levitating" in a group with the two songs that didn't/won't get a US push?

The head of her label said that her tour would feel very 'greatest hits' so I'm guessing this is their plan. Six singles and then re-release.

This one seems to be a DSN/Physical situation.

Hallucinate is 100% the next single and it will probably have the same single treatment that Physical has/had. It will be a single everywhere except for the US, where BMH is still rising. When BMH dies, around August (I assume) she will probably move onto the next Worldwide single, that will get the same single treatment that DSN has/had.

I bet on Levitating as the next WW single, but it could be literally anything imo (except for GIB and BWBB). And then around October/November she may move onto the re-release.

[wjr15]

Ideal scenario:
- Hallucinate next single worldwide except for US (BMH still rising)
- End of summer, release Levitating everywhere
- Re-release just in time for the holidays
- Grammy performance + wins
- World Tour 2021

Definitely agree with you regarding "Hallucinate" and how they're approaching the release.

I just have a feeling "Love Again" is going to be the next worldwide single. It's possible that feeling is just because it's what I want, but I think it's more likely that she'd shoot a video with her boyfriend for "Love Again" than "Levitating." "Love Again" also feels like the continuation (and end) of the 'story' "DSN" and "BMH" sort of create lyrically.

Watch me be wrong, though. I usually am! "Levitating" is a great choice too.
