It’s no secret that our June cover star Dua Lipa is a woman of many talents. While riding a wave of success that has seen her release two UK number ones, win two out of five Brit Award Nominations and become Spotify’s most streamed female artist in the world, Dua has been also been moonlighting as our go-to life guru.
No, she doesn’t regularly pop by ELLE UK HQ to read our tarots and align our chakras (although, Dua, if you're up for it, we're down), but she does keep us inspired with her relatable lyrics. Going through a break-up? Her summer anthem 'New Rules' will set you up to come out the other side better off. Flirting with a new romance? Pop on her latest Calvin Harris collaboration 'One Kiss' to give you the confidence to take things to the next level.
Whatever you’re dealing with, from break-ups to backstabbers, McDonald’s cravings to partying logistics, there’s a Dua Lipa lyric for every situation.
