"Love Again"Written by Dua Lipa, Clarence Coffee Jr., Stephen Kozmeniuk, Chelcee Grimes, Irving Wallman, Max Wartell and Bing Crosby Produced by Stephen 'Koz' Kozmeniuk • Additional production by Stuart Price Fifth US single from Dua Lipa's sophomore album Future Nostalgia called "Love Again". The song, which samples White Town's 1997 hit "Your Woman", was produced by Stephen 'Koz' Kozmeniuk and is currently under Cool New Music at Pop on AllAccess, most likely as a FYC for now.

Glad that this is likely the next U.S. single. With Levitating hitting #1 tomorrow, now is a great time to start pushing this.

I have little expectations for this commercially. Way too many factors working against it.
On it's own though it is the best choice left on the album and a fantastic song. Hopefully it does well.

I'm still most partial to Cool, personally - how can you resist 'I guess we're ready for the summer?' for a final summer single? But Love Again is wonderful as well, so I have no complaints. Hoping for a top 40 Hot 100/top 10 pop peak, but I'm not going to set my sights too high for what is presumably an era-closing single.

Oh yes i love that this is looking to get officially pushed as a US Single to radio, This song is very catchy and I'll be looking forward to seeing just how good it ends up performing!

I agree with the latter because it's hard to resist that line, but they could still do this with "Cool" in the South Hemisphere later this year. I'm not expecting this to happen honestly, but who knows? I mean, "Love Again" seems to be the last single of the album as you said, but if they're going to keep continue to promote the album, "Cool" and "Pretty Please" (in a sort of extent) are the only remaining choices.

It's refreshing to see the US getting a standard album single after getting a re-release era single tho.

So this is happening. It sucks for "Cool" fans (myself included); this should close the era out nicely (hopefully on a high note).

Yeah, Cool made more sense and Hallucinate and Physical are much better songs, but I guess I get while they are going with this. It's my least favorite single and video Dua has released this era, though.

I really like "Love Again, Pretty Please and Cool". "Pretty Please" is my favorite out of the three. (Plus "It Ain't Me) The sample in "Love Again" always grabs me though. Plus the chorus is pretty catchy. It could end up being a favorite. "Cool" is kind of the least like the prior big hits from the project so I can see why they went with "Love Again" after "We're Good" under performed. The whole cd is great. There's only a dud or two in my opinion.
On a sidenote I really got into " Hallucinate" in the last few months..

I think this was the right single choice for sure. Never really thought Cool could compete with this, and Physical was already a promotional single so I see why they didn’t push that (also it doesn’t sound like summer to me). My personal favorite is Good in Bed, but yeah that wasn’t going to happen. And Hallucinate, I’m in the same boat as divasummer, used to not like it but now I do. It sounds kinda weird at first and I don’t think it’s an instant song, so imo it would get bad callouts and not do so great.

YES! Best song left on the album, besides “Physical” (which also should’ve been a massive smash). Hoping this can be another hit for her

Not for songs that were officially singles in the US. If you're talking internationally then yes I think it's 7.
DSN Physical BMH Hallucinate Levitating We're Good Love Again
I can't recall FN getting a push so 7 seems right overall.

Yesss “Pretty Please” is one of my favs on the album and I think it could have made a splash! Hoping this at least scrapes top 10. With the album still top 10 after over a year, there still seems to be a lot of interest so hopefully this can buck the trend of late singles disappointing.

WAIT. Are we 7 singles deep????? Wasn't there an interview with a label rep and they said they planned on going 7 singles deep in a year in a half period? I may be off with the timing but 7 singles deep sticks in my head. Perhaps they meant 7 singles deep not just in the US. This is more than likely it which I guess most here knew but I was still pipe dreaming "It Ain't Me" getting a release. lol

I wouldn't count One Day or Prisoner as being from this project because, well, they aren't. They're tacked on to inflate streaming numbers and that's that. They mainly exist to support the projects by their lead artists.
But otherwise, yeah, there have 8 singles originating from this project to have been released in certain parts of the world. Here in the US, Love Again is "only" single 5 though.
1. Don't Start Now 2. Break My Heart 3. Levitating 4. We're Good 5. Love Again
All these singles, though, and none of them are Cool or If It Ain't Me. Shame. Break My Heart and especially We're Good could have stayed album tracks.

Multiple eras with 8+ singles in a row is serving Shania Twain tbh, whew.
Teenage Dream getting a 9th single (in Australia) comes to mind as well, in terms of the last ~10 years
