Dua Lipa is starting the new year off less so with a bang and more living the island life writing bangers.

The 'New Rules' singer has just shaken up our social media timelines with the major announcement that she has begun work on her second album.

Just eight months after her self-titled debut was finally released to the world after several delays, project DL2 is officially underway.

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

Dua posted a stunning photo of the sea and trees - is she living in a forest? - in Jamaica to reveal that she will be shacked up there for the forseeable future to make some new music.

"If you need me i’ll be here for a couple of weeks," she said. "I feel so lucky to have woken up in paradise with some of my favourite people that I love working with to start writing for my next album."

NEXT! ALBUM! There it is, before the ever-humble star expressed her gratitude, saying "So grateful and so thankful to get to do this as my job."

Although Dua Lipa was only released last June, she had written many of the songs on the album in 2015 and 2016, including the lead single 'Be The One'.

With 'IDGAF' chosen as the next single and a three-month world tour starting on January 30, it might be a while until we hear anything new but it's still very exciting news.

Are you ready for some new rules?

View the lyrics
Over and over
Waves of frightening feelings
Floating weightless, I'm willing
My will keeps bending and breaking
Honey

Hold me, trust me
Let me ride in your love all night, babe
Hold me, touch me
I wanna die in your love all night, babe

Lost in your light, baby
I wanna stay right here all night, baby
Let's get lost in the light, baby
I wanna stay right here all night, baby

Oh!
Now everything's vivid, vivid
Torture tempted with pleasure
I'm reckless, tangled, suspended
You want it all, nothing's wasted
Woman

Hold me, trust me
You know you can hide in my arms all night now
Hold me, trust me
I'm gonna ride in your love all night
I'm

Lost in your light, baby (alright)
I wanna stay right here all night, baby (alright)
Let's get lost in the light, baby (alright)
I wanna stay right here all night, baby (all night, alright)

Midnight, your eyes
Bitter wine, conversations
You and me, some money, babe
I don't need a pay check (don't need a pay check)
One taste and I'm hooked on it
Don't laugh, I know you want it
I'm addicted to your light

Lost in your light, baby
I wanna stay right here all night, baby (all night, darling)
Let's get lost in the light, baby (all night)
I wanna stay right here all night, baby (all night, all night)
Let's get lost in the light, baby
