Pop icon Dua Lipa has once again made her mark in the music industry with her new release “Dance the Night.” The song serves as the lead single for the highly anticipated Barbie movie, set for release in July 2023. Not only does she lend her voice to the soundtrack, but she also makes her acting debut in the film as Mermaid Barbie.

“Dance the Night” is an upbeat disco-infused track that aligns perfectly with the distinct style you’ll know from Future Nostalgia.
