Track #8 from her upcoming third album Radical Optimism, which was produced by Danny L Harle and Ian Kirkpatrick. Teasers of the song were revealed in London, UK and Sydney, Australia, respectively. You could check them here and here.

It's too early to know which song from Radical Optimism will be the follow-up single, but it seems that the third (or maybe fourth?) single will be pushed properly in conjunction with her Glastonbury performance in June. An industry source told the following: "[Dua Lipa] wants to get the Glastonbury experience across to fans all over the world, as many will never get the chance to attend.
The plan is to use some of the footage to accompany her new single release. We don't think anyone has actually used footage from Glastonbury with their own single release before. But there will also be loads of extra footage... and scope to release a Dua Lipa Glastonbury movie."

It's nice to hear her belting out, we don't get that from her a lot. I love how propulsive the chorus is. It's missing that little something that makes it fully launch though, I think it's the bridge. It's more of a breakdown when it needed to build up and soar into the chorus.

This is a dud for me. Don’t love the how lOoOoOoOoOng and it sounds like Eurovision big power moment trash.

Not really a fan of this one either. It feels like it's missing something and doesn't really resonate with me.

This is pure aural Viagra. This needs to be the next single after “Maria.”

I think this could be a great moment at the club - hope she decides to push it with a euphoric video.

This has grown on me immensely over the past few days. One of the best songs on the album.

And it turns out that she shot that the music video for "Falling Forever" in Budapest. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8HNIGFMaET From Refresher HU: (translated from Hungarian)Last week, the singer visited Hungary, where she shot a music video for the song "Falling Forever".
Last Wednesday, June 5, Dua Lipa started her summer mini-tour in Berlin, within the framework of which she will perform songs from her latest album, Radical Optimism, in nine European cities.
In addition to the concerts, however, the singer tries to complete the feeling of radical optimism in other ways, and as can be seen from the gallery she recently shared on Instagram, she shot the video clip for one of the album's tracks in Budapest.
According to our insider information, the singer arrived in Budapest after last Wednesday's concert in Berlin, where she shot a video clip for the track "Falling Forever" at Korda Studio, and presumably stayed in the country until her performance in Croatia, i.e. Sunday.

Yay I love this one.
Its euphoric plus it doesn't sound like anything she released before.

here for this, it was one of my faves on my initial listen. How loooooooong is a bit longer than it should be imo, but it's not a big deal. Also, verses have 'Relax Take It Easy' vibes to me, which I like it.

This will do even less in America as her other singles from the album. One of my least favorites. Sounds like Eurovision. These Walls was RIGHT. THERE.

These Walls was the only one left that should have been a single. For something like a video that would include Glastonbury footage, sure I can see the appeal of this. But as a full single this is a bad choice.
This song screams Eurovision to me as well in a bad way, more than anything else on the album.

I love belting this song in the car like any other reasonable gay, but a single? Absolutely not, lol. Read the room, breezy pop songs are winning right now, "These Walls" is the best choice.

I hope Dua and her team do a split release to be honest. "Falling Forever" could do sort of well as a EU/OZ single like "Hallucinate", but I guess it's time to change a little bit in tempo, so "These Walls" might work better than this in the US.

I love this but it's not a potential hit follwing three relative underperformances.

Wow. They’re truly committed to making all the wrong choices/moves this era. It’s almost like they intentionally want Dua to flop and squander all her goodwill from the last era…

Didn't she say something like her dad doesn't make her do anything she doesn't want to do as her manager? Like, release good singles?

Yeah, I agree with everyone here, sound-wise 'These Walls' was right there. I'd argue that a case could be made for 'End of an era' or even 'Whatcha Doing'... but not this.

Sorry I’m back and I know there are far more important things to worry about but I’m genuinely furious if this is the plan 😂
I’m out walking in the sun and These Walls sounds perfect. Fools.

straight up there's not a hit left on the album (besides MAYBE releasing an extended version of anything for love and performing it at a high profile awards show) so i feel like what they release next is more or less irrelevant
