Dua Lipa Battles Herself In 'IDGAF' Video Preview
The 'Be The One' superstar's latest visual is going to be major...
Dua Lipa is about to break the internet all over again.
As the feminist visual for ‘New Rules’ nears one billion views on YouTube, the singer has shared another preview of her next world-shaking video for ‘IDGAF’.
The new single, co-written by MNEK, is already making its way up the charts, where it could end up on top after its epic and empowering visual is out.
Talkin' in my sleep at night, makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out, hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love
He makes me feel like nobody else, nobody else
But, my love
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself, I tell myself
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the mornin'
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules; I count 'em
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards
(Nowhere to turn) No way
(Nowhere to turn) No
Now I'm standin' back from it, I finally see the pattern
(I never learn, I never learn)
But, my love (Love)
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself
I tell myself, I do, I do, I do
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two: Don't let him in
You have to kick him out again
Three: Don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules; I count 'em
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules; I count 'em
I gotta tell them to myself
Practice makes perfect
I'm still tryna learn it by heart
(I got new rules, I count 'em)
Eat, sleep and breathe it
Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I
(I got new, I got new, I...)
One: Don't pick up the phone
You know he's only callin'
'Cause he's drunk and alone (Yeah, alone)
Two: Don't let him in
You have to kick him out again (Oh, ooh)
Three: Don't be his friend (Again)
You know you're gonna wake up
In his bed in the mornin' (Bed in the mornin')
And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him
I got new rules; I count 'em
I got new rules; I count 'em
(Whoa-ooh, whoa, whoa)
I gotta tell them to myself
I got new rules; I count 'em
(Baby, you know I count 'em)
I gotta tell them to myself
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't let him in, don't let him in
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
You gettin' over him
Dua posted two stills from the colourful video online today, showing two versions of her and her all-girl gang standing across from each other.
She revealed that the video shows “your stronger and weaker side fighting with each other only to find that self love is what will help you overcome anything negative that comes your way.”

Slay! We are assuming that Blue Dua is the stronger side and Orange Dua is the weaker, although we'll have to wait and find out on Friday when the full clip premieres.
While it's not a direct sequel to 'New Rules', the imagery of female empowerment certainly remains prominent in its follow-up. A power suit version of 'New Rules', if you will.
Dua recently revealed that she has started work on her second album and she is currently recording in Jamaica with a number of producers, including MNEK.
Also, earlier this week it was announced that she appears on the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack on a brand new song titled 'High', a collaboration with Whethan.
It's an exciting time for Dua and her legion of die-hard fans (us included)!

I know we've got
Something that money can't buy
Fighting in fits
Biting your lip
Loving 'til late in the night
Tell me I'm too crazy
You can't tame me, can't tame me
Tell me I have changed
But I'm the same me, old same me
Inside
(Hey!)
If you don't like the way I talk
Then why am I on your mind?
If you don't like the way I rock
Then finish your glass of wine
We fight and we argue, you'll still love me blind
If we don't fuck this whole thing up
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind
Mwah!
And tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
And tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
(Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah)
Yeah, I'm so bad
Best that you've had
I guess you're diggin' the show
Open the door
You want some more
When you wanna leave, let me know
Tell me I'm too crazy
You can't tame me, can't tame me
Tell me I have changed
But I'm the same me, old same me
Inside
(Hey!)
If you don't like the way I talk
Then why am I on your mind?
If you don't like the way I rock
Then finish your glass of wine?
We fight and we argue, you'll still love me blind
If we don't fuck this whole thing up
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind
Mwah!
And tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
And tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign
Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah
(And tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign)
(Guaranteed, I can blow your mind, mwah)
(And tonight I'm alive, ain't a dollar sign)

Tell me I'm too crazy
You can't tame me, can't tame me
Tell me I have changed
But I'm the same me, old same me
