There's no denying that Dua Lipa is killing it at the moment. Not only has 'IDGAF' quickly becoming one of her biggest hits to date but she's also touring iconic venues in the US as well as supporting Bruno Mars on his critically acclaimed 24K Magic Tour.

On top of that, she's just become the youngest female artist to have a video reach one billion views on YouTube.

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

NO. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. DUA ACTUALLY IS DOMINATING THE WORLD RIGHT NOW WITH HER MUSIC.

'New Rules' surpassed the one billion view mark on YouTube earlier this morning and Dua quickly took to Instagram to express her excitement. The 'Blow Your Mind (Mwah)' hitmaker posted an adorable photograph of herself as a baby holding a phone.

"I picked up the phone and found out I am the youngest female artist to hit 1 BILLION views on a music video".

This is amazing. We couldn't be happier for the 'Be the One' superstar. She really deserves all of this success.

That's not the only record that Duas broken recently though. Just last month the 'Scared to Be Lonely' singer received the most nominations that any female artist has ever received at a single Brit Awards ceremony. Yes, even more than Adele herself.

Dua is up for British Female, British Breakthrough, British Album, British Single and British Video this year.

Considering how popular and talented Dua is, we reckon that she could win most of her nominations.

Not only that but we also reckon that 'New Rules' won't be her only visual to surpass a billion views.
