The futuristic-esque title track and first promotional single released off of Dua Lipa’s sophomore album, Future Nostalgia, was first teased by the British singer-songwriter on her interview with Heart Breakfast back in November of 2019:

When I announce my album title, which will be early December, I’m gonna put out the album title track and like a little a video.

In the empowering feminist anthem, Lipa can be heard singing about how confident she feels while proudly referring to herself as a strong and optimistic “female alpha.”

Hours before its official US release, Dua took to social media to announce the song. Compared to other tracks, “Future Nostalgia” has a more experimental sound. The artist herself described it as “playful and fun and not […] too serious.”
