It's no secret that Dua Lipa has had an amazing year. Not only has she scored her first UK Number 1 single and third platinum single in the UK with the brilliant 'New Rules' but her self-titled album is also one of the most successful of the year so far.

On top of that Dua has just been given the ASCAP Vanguard Award for her contribution to music!

View the lyrics
One

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

The ASCAP Awards are held annually in the US and the UK. Last night's ceremony honoured the best in Birtish talent: those who've helped shaped the sound of British music both from behind the scenes as writers and as performers in the limelight.

The Vanguard award specifically honours artists who are helping to shape the future of music.

With all of her success this year, it's safe to say that Dua is more than worthy of the award!

The 'Hotter Than Hell' star took to Instagram to celebrate the crazy achievement. 

Dua wrote: "Thank you ASCAP for my Vanguard award. What a wonderful awards ceremony... Now all dressed up accordingly for my studio session." Now not only are we obsessed with the entire look but a "studio session". What is Dua working on?

Could she be starting a NEW album or working on another hit collaboration?

Whatever it is, one thing for sure is that Dua really deserves this award!

Who heads to work straight after an awards ceremony? Legends only.
