Interview + Performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (US)
August 4th, 2020
Tier 2
Colbert: Since we last had our final guest on the show, we’ve seen him sky rocket to world wide fame. It’s my pleasure to welcome back Shawn Mendes!
The band plays ‘MY MY MY!’ as Shawn walks out, he shakes Stephens hand to greet him and waves at the crowd as they cheer.
Shawn: Hey everyone, so glad to be back!
Colbert: We are glad to have you back! It’s been almost two months since the world first heard your debut single ‘MY MY MY!’, how has it been for you?
Shawn: Well it’s been amazing to say the least, I can’t believe it’s gone so quickly! I couldn’t be more happy with all the success. I really have this show to partly thank, my performance seemed to connect with people.
Colbert: It was an amazing performance, and you’re treating us to another one later right?
Shawn: Yes! It will be a little different from last time but I can’t wait.
Colbert: You also killed it on American Idol over the weekend, I loved the staging! Very fitting for summer.
Shawn: Thank you! I thought since a lot of the visuals I’ve been putting out are pretty black and white I’d switch it up. It’s a hint into what the album feels like to me.
Colbert: Any word on when we’re getting more music?
Shawn: Not just yet, but expect some announcements and maybe a promo single sometime soon. I’m always dropping snippets on my Instagram story!

Colbert: Closing the show for us, welcome back Shawn Mendes performing ‘MY MY MY!’
Shawn goes for a more simple performance, singing a slowed and reverbed version of the song. He is sat alone on a stool in the centre of the stage, throughout the performance deep purple and blue lights and lasers are cast over him to add to the moody and luscious feel of the performance.

- On "Nonstop" becoming a viral hit
Since the last time I was here the song has blown up incredibly. I always say the charts are not what drives my career choices or, in this case, the sound of my singles. At all. But it would be dumb to say it does not feel good to see your music up there alongside the biggest records of the moment. It is rewarding but also a reminder that nothing is forever, and that one day you might be #1 or whatever, and the next one you might not scrap a gold certification. So I try to stay down-to-earth and really soak in the moment when my songs do this well.
On his NIKE partnership
It is an honor to me to be able to work with such an enormous, iconic brand as NIKE. We have been working on very exciting things and I believe our first advertisement was released a few days ago, so you can already get a taste of what our collaboration is going to be like! But yeah, more crazy stuff is coming soon and I can't wait for that. I am very thankful to NIKE and blessed for the opportunity.
On his upcoming album
It is fully done and ready to be released, but I am going to keep it for a little longer. I want to put out a few songs from it before the album is released, so it is not coming just yet. But it is coming soon and I can not wait to drop it. I am very excited about this one and I think everybody is going to love it!

Shawn on collaborating with Calvin Klein
It is really such an honour, they are such an iconic brand and I look up to a lot of the people they’ve worked with in the past. I love the ethos of the brand and the stuff we’ve been working on is great, you’re gonna love it. I can’t wait for you to see it!

Shawn on his smash hit ‘MY MY MY!’
It is so exciting to have a song of yours pop off like that, especially when it’s your debut single. The song has created a whole different type of meaning to me now because of it, I have all these new memories attached to the song. It’s only been two months but because it’s done well enough for me to be able to travel the country promoting and meeting my fans, I feel like I’ve learnt a lot about the industry already. I still feel so new to it all, but at the same time it feels like I’ve been doing this my whole life already.

Shawn on the success of his single
Every week my manager sends me a text with all the streams, chart positions, all that shit. I always make sure to pass it on to everyone I wrote the song with and of course my producer, it is their song as much as it is mine. We will definitely have a party to celebrate all the success soon. Numbers don’t motivate me but if I’m having a down day or you see someone criticise you, seeing that and knowing my fans are still there supporting me and the music motivates me to keep going!

- On his newest song "Nonstop"
It is my most recent single, the first one I have released since 2015 I believe. It has been a long time coming, but to come back with such a powerful song has been very fun and exciting. The song is doing incredibly well and I am very thankful for that. But what I am most excited about is the fact I get to release the most honest music I have ever dropped years into my career. This song is a perfect example of the current direction my career is heading towards and where I am right now in life, both artistically and personally.
On jumping on the remix for Victoria Monét's "Sticky"
That was great fun, Victoria called me up and the moment I heard the song I wanted to be a part of it! I think it is one of the best releases of the year so far and I am glad I got to be a part of it. I am also hearing it is doing incredibly well commercially so I am very happy for her, she has worked very hard on it and deserves nothing but the best!
"Nonstop" performance
After being introduced by James, the camera cuts to the stage where Drake is standing in a red outfit. Two back up dancers are standing next to him. The beat to the song starts and the stage immediately lights up in different shades of red. Drake performs the song confidently as the two dancers do choreography beside him. He motions to the audience from time to time but mostly faces the camera, glancing at it seriously and with determination. When the performance is over, James joins Drake onstage to greet him and thank him for being on the show, and to remind the audience that "Nonstop" is out now everywhere.

- On coming back to the show
Yeah, it has not been that long since I was here but last time I felt like something was missing! Which is why tonight I came back to perform my song "Nonstop" for you guys! I want to thank you Trevor for always supporting me and my music, I appreciate you and cherish your support immensely.
On "Nonstop" slowly blowing up
It never ceases to amaze me how positively people respond to my music. I might switch up my sound and what not, but I am always met with an outpouring of love and support that I will never be able to pay back. But know I am extremely grateful and thankful for every opportunity and for every single time someone buys or streams my music. It is surreal to see where my career is these days.
On his NIKE sponsorship
Our first advertisement just came out last week and more great stuff is coming up very soon, so stay tuned for that! For now all I can say is there is going to be a lot more of what people think. I can not wait to see what everybody thinks of the surprises we have lined up!
"Nonstop" performance
For the performance, Drake wore a black outfit with white NIKE Air Force Ones, and a few golden chains on his neck, as well as a pair of red sunglasses. The performance was very simple, consisting mainly of Drake wandering around the stage motioning to the audience and the camera while he made his way through the bars. The lighting onstage was all different shades of red, dancing around the space as Drake moved to the beat of the song. When the performance ended, Trevor joined Drake onstage to greet him and thank him for coming back to the show and for the performance, and reminded the audience that "Nonstop" is out now everywhere.

- On "Nonstop", his newest hit
It is indeed my newest song, the first one and lead single from my upcoming album which is coming sometime this year, really soon if everything goes as planned! "Nonstop" is just a simple yet punchy song about flaunting your riches, your experiences and basically your ego. It is not one of my most serious songs for sure, but I really wanted to come back into the spotlight with a song that was more fun than serious. There is a time and place for everything, and with singles that happens as well. It seems like people are enjoying the song and its sound so I am glad that we went with it!
On his upcoming album
It is probably my most cohesive and honest album. I have had my fair share of time to make it so the result, I promise, is not underwhelming. The album is equal parts innovative as it is classic. I think it represents where my career and personal life are at the moment perfectly. It is fully done but we are not releasing it just yet. There are a few songs I want to release first. But it is coming really, really soon!
"Nonstop" performance
For the performance, Drake wore a white NIKE tracksuit, paired with white Air Force Ones and a big silver chain on his neck with a diamond owl hanging from it. After being introduced by the hosts, the beat to the song started playing and Drake started rapping it in a very chill, but decisive way. The performance was very simple, mainly consisting of Drake moving around the stage slowly but to the rhythm of the song, motioning to the camera and busting a dance move every now and then. When it ended, the hosts reminded the audience that "Nonstop" is out now everywhere and thanked Drake for visiting the show.

I’ve been a fan and consumer of the brand for as long as I can remember, so it’s a real honour. I can only hope I do it justice! You’ll be seeing some shots from the photoshoot in the near future.
Andy: We can’t wait! But you know what we also can’t wait for? New music! When is it coming?
Shawn: Well I just dropped a remix to the single on Friday, and I will be giving my fans some more teasers and snippets soon. If I could release the new single, or even the album, tomorrow I would but the label’s gotta make that money *laughs*

Andy: Here to close out the show with a special performance for us, Shawn Mendes!
The camera pans to Shawn who is stood in dark lighting with his band and backing singers, the camera slowly getting closer and zooming in on his face before reaching the chorus. It zooms into his eye then quickly zooms back out as the chorus hits to reveal the stage brightly lit and his backing singers dancing. Shawn walks around the studio as he sings the rest of the song, playfully interacting with the bar man and taking a drink and then making it back to the stage to finish the rest of the performance.

Victoria stops by Danilo Gentili to perform her hit single Sticky and to discuss her new mixtape coming in the next few weeks.
Victoria on her new mixtape
The mixtape should be up for pre-order as we speak but I am going to keep most information about the album under really tight wraps until it finally actually releases so that it can be a surprise for everyone. Scratch that actually, I won’t be keeping under tight wraps forever, I plan on doing a livestream right before the album releases and spilling some tea about it! I don’t have it all planned though so just bear with me! The songs on this record were songs that I wrote when I was mainly a songwriter for other artists but we finally brought them to light in this mixtape. That’s why this mixtape is going to be a collection of my past self and who I am today. It’s not going to be super cohesive but instead, a showcase of my abilities if that makes sense. I think that there will be something for everyone on this mixtape and I hope people see what i was going for and appreciate it!
*cuts to commercial*
Interviewer: Now, to perform the top 5 hit single Sticky, give it up for the AMAZING Victoria Monet!!!
The audience cheers as the camera pans through them before going to Victoria who stands in the middle of the stage alone. She begins the performance acoustically before the chorus and then, her dancers come in during a pause in the performance. The lights go off and then suddenly, they come back on with the roaring production and Victoria doing the signature sticky choreography with her dancers. She follows this same pattern for the rest of the performance before finishing the performance off by blowing a kiss.
Sticky and its remix are out now on iTunes and Flux! Don’t forget to watch the MV as well.

Victoria Monet on her Mixtape dropping august 28th, 2020
I’m so excited to release the mixtape. It’s going to be my first album-like release as I’ve only released songs. I’ve always imagined how this moment is going to feel, seeing artists who I’m working with stress about their album release and doubting the album they made, fearing it won’t be enough etc etc. Since then, I’ve wanted this moment so I’m so excited for this to happen!
*The show cuts to commercial before coming back to cue to Victoria’s Performance*
Interviewer: And now, to perform her hit single which reached the top 5 of every major music market, give it up for Victoria Monet with STICKY!

Then, she pushes the camera for the chorus and it turns around to show her dancers doing the iconic sticky choreography while Victoria sings off camera. They repeat the same thing for the rest of the song before finally standing together at the end of the song. Victoria thanks the audience and leaves the stage.

LA Paid Promo
Victoria Monet drops by Susana Giménez to perform her hit single Sticky and to have a quick interview as well.
Susana: Now, to perform her hit single Sticky which has a peak of #4 here in LA, give it up for the incredibly talented and humble Victoria Monet!
The audience roars at the announcement of Victoria’s performance. The performance begins with Victoria standing alone in the middle of the stage with just one faint light illuminating her. She begins the performance acoustic and does not move for the intro and the first verse of the song, only looking ahead of her the entire time even as the camera pans fully around her. Then, two spotlights beside her open up for dancers to appear and they aid Victoria in hyping up the stage in the 2nd verse. Finally, for the 2nd chorus, all the lights go on and the production fully kicks in while Victoria is doing the sticky choreography with her dancers. Cheers are heard from the audience. They continue the save movements for the rest of the performance. Victoria blows a kiss to the audience and thanks them for having her.
Susana: Sticky out now on iTunes AND Flux! Don’t forget to watch the music video and stream the remix as well! Victoria will be here for a quick interview after this break!
*interview portion*
Victoria on getting critique
Critique is something that definitely scares me because of how ruthless people can be when reviewing things but I try my best to not think about it because if you do, before you know you’ll be questioning every decision you make while writing, producing singing etc etc. I pray to god critiques like it but if they don’t I have the security of knowing I love it!

"Okay so to begin this convo it's called "Don't Start Now" for those who don't know. I mean i haven't done a promotion for the track since the release week so...in case some of y'all forgot about it. *laughs* It's one of the very first songs that i worked on for my upcoming album, this was completed like at the beginning of this year by that time i was waiting for the right moment to drop this. I think this was the right time and now it's yours. Hope you liked it. Shoutout to my friends who helped me write and produce this one too."
"It's so good, can't stop playing it. Speaking of the album, are we going to be able to get new informations about the album tonight?"
"I mean besides the fact it's getting released this year, i guess i can say that you are going to get something album related really soon. I mean "really soon". But i'm going to need y'all to stay patient till that moment."
"You had a kind of a long tour for your debut album. Is there a tour incoming for this era? Do you have any plans on that?"
"I talked about the fact that i had ideas but things not getting put into work last month. I'm glad to inform you that a tour is indeed happening. Officially saying this. Me and my team have been having more serious talks over it since last week and i think i'm going to talk about it more in the upcoming months. Wait for it."

US Paid Promo
Victoria Monet goes onto Live with Kelly and Ryan to perform her hit single Sticky and for a quick interview as well.
Kelly: Now, to perform her #1 SMASH debut hit single, give it up for THE Victoria Monet!
The croud erupts in applause as the camera pans around them before finally resting facing the audience. Victoria stands at the back of the room and slowly makes her way to the front while singing the first verse of the song. As she walks, dancers begin to get up from the audience when she calls for them and they also slowly follow her as she makes her way to the front. They then pass her and wait at the stage while Victoria continually slowly walks there. Finally, for the chorus, she makes it to them just in time to begin doing the iconic sticky choreography while the backing track plays the song. The synchronized choreography pours into the second verse but Victoria sings while she is doing the choreography. Then, for the second chorus, she breaks from the choreography and stands in the front of the stage focusing on her vocals instead of dancing. She goes back to dance for the bridge and the final chorus to end the performance.
Kelly: Stick is out now on iTunes and Flux, Victoria will be in the studio for a quick interview shortly!
*interview portion*
Victoria on Sticky
I love the song so much! I knew it was not the conventional lead single option but after I wrote up the lyrics and recorded the song I immediately fell in love with it. It felt so me! I also think it was a good single choice because it separated me from the sea of RnB artists these days and differentiated me because its something that many haven’t heard before. Its RnB but it feels fresh which is why I really wanted to release it. I didn’t expect it to do amazing but I didn’t care because I didn’t have any expectations chart wise. Now, a month and a half later, the song hit #1 and seems to be well-liked by the general public which is just so amazing! I’m so happy that I could release a song I enjoyed while still galvanizing support!

Its RnB but it feels fresh which is why I really wanted to release it. I didn’t expect it to do amazing but I didn’t care because I didn’t have any expectations chart wise. Now, a month and a half later, the song hit #1 and seems to be well-liked by the general public which is just so amazing! I’m so happy that I could release a song I enjoyed while still galvanizing support!

Victoria Monet x Samantha Bee
US Paid Promo
Victoria Monet drops by Samantha Bee to perform her hit single Sticky and to discuss her new mixtape.
PERFORMANCE
Samantha: Now, to perform her hit #1 platinum single Sticky, give it up for THE Victoria Monet!
The croud erupts in cheers as Samantha introduces Victoria. The camera slowly pans from Samantha holding The Sticky Vinyls to the stage behind her where Victoria lies with her dancers. The performance begins with an acoustic cover of the song for the intro and the first verse and chorus but then, the song takes a sudden change and the production kicks in and Victoria and her dancers do a small dance number in the second verse to hype up the crowd. They begin moving around the entire stage in high energy to contrast the slow sultry and sensual beginning to the performance. The second chorus hits and Victoria does the iconic sticky choreography while continuing to sing with her mic headset. Then, the bridge goes back to the slow sultry side before Victoria belts the first line of the final chorus to bring back the high energy. After the chorus finishes, the last line keeps getting repeated while Victoria is dancing with her dancers. This continues until the song cuts to commercial right at the end of the performance.
INTERVIEW PORTION
Victoria on her mixtape
I’m so excited to drop the mixtape but I also have other goodies that I will be releasing on the release day. I plan on also releasing a remixes EP for the single that will be coming with the album and I plan on releasing more merchandise for y’all to buy since I know y’all love it so much. Additionally, I have a lot of shows planned for that week so I hope y’all will tune in.

Victoria x Elle Song Association
US Paid Promo
Victoria comes back to Elle to do yet another episode of Song Association with them.
“Thanks for having me again! I had such a blast last time and I’m excited to do it again!” The first word that is given is “emotion”. Victoria immediately begins singing Mariah Carey’s emotion while laughing. She talks about how Mariah was one of her inspirations and how she still always listens to her music in awe of everything she was able to accomplish. The next word is “time” which Victoria was unable to think of a word for. “I feel so stupid right now. Literally 40% of songs have the word time in it!” she exclaims while slapping her forehead and laughing with her friends/producers/staff who are just outside of the frame. The next word is “tonight” which Victoria pauses for a little before singing “tonight, stay tonight” and humming the melody to an unreleased song. She exclaims and tries to take it back realizing she sang lyrics to her label mate Chung Ha’s supposed lead single. She says “Uhh can we rewind that one??” while laughing and apologizing to her label and Chung Ha in the video. A couple more words go by before finally reaching the final word for today’s challenge. The word is “Do”. Victoria looks at her manager out of the frame with a quick smile before beginning to sing “Ooh, ooh That's just what I do, do, do And that's just how we do it, do it, do it”. After singing that she stops herself and says “that’s Do It which will be released alongside my mixtape. Y’all just got a sneak peek but my manager is looking real mad in the back so let me stop haha”. After that, we see Victoria’s score for this game was 13/15 beating her previous score of 8/15. She celebrates and ends the video off by thanking them for having her and to remind her fans to stream Sticky and pre-save her mixtape coming August 28th!

[August 1 | Paid | UK | 2/8]
- Performance:
- On August 1st, Dua Lipa appeared on "The Greatest Dancer" to perform her new single "Don't Start Now". The singer could be seen standing in the middle area of the stage before the host introduced her. One spotlight was opened behind her and she walked like a model towards the front area while the intro was being played at the moment. She turned around and as soon as all the lights surrounding her were opened she did a full 180 and started singing the first verse. She was showing off some body movements while singing the part. All the lights were opened and rotated towards her while she was walking like a model. At this moment, you could see the contestants walking on each side of the stage towards the singer. Once the contestants got in formation around her they started doing a brand new routine while Dua was singing the second verse. After doing the hand movements in sync, they all did the actual routine for the chorus. You could see the dancers hyping each other up during the breakdown part. You could see the camera showing some fan reactions during the final chorus. The performance was over after Dua walked towards the camera and pushed it away after singing "Walk away, walk away, oh-"

- Interview:
- On August 2nd, Dua Lipa did a phone interview with "KACZ 96.3 FM" to talk about her new single "Don't Start Now", this new era and touring. "You sound pissed on the new song i gotta say. But it's such a bop. Loved the new song of yours. Tell us about it."
"This song is about me telling my ex to just move on from this past relationship we had and stop ruining my moment. Ian helped my anger get hid behind that beautiful melody. We met a year ago after i was done with my previous tour. The fact that i was able to keep this song in the vault for a long time. I couldn't wait any longer for you guys to hear this bop and thankfully it's out now on Flux and all the other platforms. It's all yours! Play it and dance like no one is watching you!"
"Loving this new look on you. You changed everything about you and your music this time. Are we in for a treat this era?"
"This new era is going to make you feel like it's a fresh breath of pop music. It's something you need, it's something you must have. It's something you have been craving for a long time. Hope you guys are ready for this fun ride, i would say. There are so many things planned but remember...good things come to those who wait so stay patient loves."
"Do we have to expect some collaborations in the future? We just recieved one with Florence Welch..."
"All i'm going to say is there might be some good surprises in the works. Again, good things come to those who wait. You will be hearing from me first when things are all said and done."

[August 2 | Paid (Evening) | UK | 4/8]
- Interview:
- On August 2nd, Dua Lipa appeared on "Alan Carr" to talk about her new single "Don't Start Now" and her resolutions for this year. "She finally came back from a not so short hiatus with a great upbeat track that this summer needed. Give it up for the one and only Dua Lipa everyone."
"Thank you all. Nice to meet you again Alan. After all this time."
"From those New Rules days...to your two Grammy wins...and now we're sitting here waiting for your second album to drop."
"Time flies huh?"
"It does. Let's talk about how perfect your newest single is. For those who don't know it's the lead official single from Dua's upcoming second album. Titled "Don't Start Now". How did this happen Dua?"
"I guess once you get lost in 80s pop and nu-disco, you get inspired to create such beautiful tracks like this one. A huge shoutout to Ian (Kirkpatrick) who came up with the melody that this track has who also happened to be one of the writers behind the song. As soon as i heard it, i thought that this would be the perfect option to start the new era. I thought people would like it and i guess they did. So glad you guys liked it."
"Of course they did. The song is having cute rises on the charts at the moment. But what's next for the song? Or what's next for Dua Lipa this year?"
"Well i'm hoping to drop the video i have for the new song. A few surprises are also on the way. Album is on the way. This year is going to be so much fun for me, for y'all, for my Loves. Let's all just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride together."

- Interview:
- On August 3rd, Dua Lipa appeared on "BBC Radio with Nick Grimshaw" to talk about her new single "Don't Start Now", changing her look for the new era and working with Florence Welch. "The British pop princess is here with us today."
"Gooood morning UK. Hey Nick. How's it going?"
"Better now that you're here. We can jam along to your new single now. By the way it's such a beautiful tune. It's really good."
"Thank you for that. I appreciate it. I mean this was one of the songs that i worked for the hardest with my crew. And this actually gave me the ideas on which sound should i go for this new era. Working on this was a test but the result was good in my eyes. Hope you guys liked it."
"You changed your sound but also you have a new look. It's like you are re inventing yourself this time am i right?"
"Yeah everything about me is new now. My hair do, my outfits i literally changed my entire wardrobe for this era so get ready for my "serving looks" moments too. *giggles* I'm going to try my best to show up at those award shows looking as good as possible. Like i said, my music is way too different also. You're getting the re-invented Dua with this new album. I'm so excited to show you guys this...retro and futuristic side of me."
"Even though you just came back from your hiatus, your new remix with Florence Welch is out now. What was it like working with her?"
"She's just not like the artists you see or watch or hear. She's different. And i love working with people that aren't going for the same direction as me. So i was really happy when her team reached out to me to ask me if i could hop on that remix for her new single "Only If For A Night". Glad i said yes. It's an upbeat club remix that y'all need to hear during this season. UK, this one's for you."

Dua Lipa x Good Morning Britain
[August 4 | Paid | UK | 6/8]
[August 4 | Paid | UK | 6/8]
- Interview:
- On August 4th, Dua Lipa appeared on Good Morning Britain to talk about her new single "Don't Start Now" and experimenting for the upcoming album. "We have the Britains very own, Dua Lipa. Welcome Dua."
"Hey you guys. Good morning to you all, hope you're having a great day."
"Since we heard your new song for the first time before you got here, believe us we're feeling better now."
"Aw i'm really glad to hear that. Thanks for the support."
"How did you come up with a banger like this? Tell us."
"Don't Start Now is a song which was written after a break up which was sort of a funny and awkward situation. Its lyrics are kinda sad but i decided to go for an upbeat production to cover that and to just...make you stop whatever you are doing at the moment you hear it and start dancing. It's out now and you can go listen to it from all streaming platforms actually."
"This is some new and fresh stuff. Like...much different than what you brought the last time. What should we get ready to see this time?"
"If you remember my debut, then you remember how it sounded like overall. In my opinion it was a cute album and all but it lowkey felt like it was trend chasing production wise. Like back when i released it, those tropical, island vibey sounds were viral. And i used it a lot. And it wasn't that much cohesive. After deciding to move on from the sound i had on that, i can say that i'm glad that i made that choice. This new album i have in the vault is going to give you all that throwback feels you need and miss at this very moment. Now that all these... songs are dominating. Something different is on the way."
"We can't wait for that, thanks for coming."
"Thanks for having me."

[August 5 | Paid | UK | 7/8]
- Interview:
- On August 5th, Dua Lipa appeared on "This Morning" to talk about her new single "Don't Start Now" and performing the new song for the first time. "Thanks for coming Dua! Let's talk about your newest surprise for the fans."
"Let's do it and thanks for having me even though i had some trouble trying to reach out to you." *both giggle*
"Your new song goes crazy. I don't even have words to explain it all. Can you do that for me?"
"Of course. I have this new song out y'all! In case you don't know, just search "don't start now" on the streaming services and play the song that comes up. I wrote this like a year ago if i remember correctly along with a couple writer friends of mine. Ian Kirkpatrick is behind this magical tracks production. I don't think i have to talk about the songs lyrical content. Once you listen to it you're going to be able to find out about that messy situation i had to go through. *laughs* Anyway- the past is in the past and i'm at the better side now!"
"Congratulations on the new song. You're also back to the stages. Missed seeing you perform. How do you feel after all this time?"
"To be able to get back on stage is crazy. Once the tour was over like two years ago, i started missing performing. After some rehearsals i did for this song, i knew i had my power back and in a better way. Back to performing with a song like "Don't Start Now" is great. It was fun performing this track on The Greatest Dancer just a couple days ago which was the songs first ever performance on live television and can't wait to do more performances for this one. There are more live performances coming up!"

[August 6 | Paid | UK | 8/8]
- Interview:
- On August 6th, Dua Lipa appeared on "BBC Breakfast" to talk about "Don't Start Now", shifting sounds and re-inventing herself as an artist. "Good morning everyone. We have the one and only, Dua Lipa in the house today."
"Woo! Woo! Hey you guys. How are you?"
"We're fine. Even better since you came here. Thanks for visiting us."
"Thank you for having me."
"We missed you here."
"I missed this too. I'm really happy that i'm back."
"It's nice to see you saving this summer with this fresh tune you released a month ago. Tell us about your new single "Don't Start Now"."
"This song was one of the first tracks that me and Ian, the producer behind this track i mean were working on. He just played me the beats he had during one of early studio sessions and as soon as i heard this i was shook for the rest of it. I knew i had to have this on the record and this had to be the first taste that my fans were going to get from the upcoming full record. He killed this and i already overplayed this through my phone."
"Well i would love to tell you that we loved the new song here and will probably play this a lot. This new sound definitely works, made me want to hear more. What made you shift sounds for the upcoming album?"
"I released my first album three years ago. For those who remember, it had this trend-chasing-ish sound all over it. I mean at that time it was good and sounded great but now i feel like i had to step away from going with the flow. Nowadays R&B and Urban is having its comeback and well, i didn't want to risk this "that" much so i wanted to do something different than the other artists. Disco sauced pop is the direction i'm going for this time, for your information. So 2020...get ready for the revival of disco pop."
