New Love
"New Love" is the debut single by English singer Dua Lipa from her eponymous debut studio album (2017). It was written by Lipa and its producers Emile Haynie and Andrew Wyatt about the singer's struggle to find her place in the music industry. The song is a synth-pop ballad with neo soul and R&B elements as well as a stomping, tribal drum beat throughout. Several music critics complimented the song's showcase of Lipa's vocals.
Despite receiving limited attention upon its independent release on 21 August 2015, "New Love" became popular among music tastemakers and helped Lipa receive a longlisting in the BBC's Sound of... critics poll for 2016. Photographer Nicole Nodland directed the music video which is a montage of filtered footage of Lipa in Los Angeles doing activities she enjoys. The song was performed during three of the singer's concert tours, the most recent being the Self-Titled Tour in 2017 and 2018.
Dua Lipa co-wrote "New Love" with Emile Haynie and Andrew Wyatt. At the time, Lipa went into many failed writing sessions trying to recreate her track "Hotter than Hell" and it was only after this transpired that she wrote "New Love". She wrote the song about being undecided on her sound and message in a music industry that "often seems to neither want nor need you." According to Lipa, the track is about "facing the fear of losing the only thing that matters to you." Both Haynie and Wyatt handled the production. The song was written in New York and the vocals were recorded at TaP Studio / Strongroom 7 in London. The mixing was handled by Manny Marroquin at Larrabee North Studios in Universal City, California while it was mastered at London's Metropolis Studios by John Davis.
Musically, "New Love" is a synth-pop ballad with neo soul and R&B elements. The song runs for 4 minutes and 31 seconds and has a structure of verse, refrain, bridge, chorus, verse, refrain, bridge, chorus, middle eight, bridge, chorus. It is composed in 4
4 time and the key of A-flat major, with a syncopated pop tempo of 90 beats per minute. The verses have a D♭maj7–E♭ chord progression, while the chorus follows an A♭maj7–D♭maj7–B♭m–E♭ sequence. The song has a stomping, tribal drum beat throughout and Lipa's deep, full-throated vocal is stretched in the production to feintly echo. The verses build to a climax before cutting to a simpler chorus. The singer cascades around the track's two-word title and uses melisma in the chorus. Her vocal range spans from E♭3 to C5.
"New Love" was premiered online by New York City magazine The Fader on 20 August 2015. It was released the following day for digital download and streaming by the singer's independent record label, Dua Lipa Limited, as her debut single. Recalling her decision to release the single, Lipa said: "When I showed 'New Love' to people, they'd say, 'Oh, I didn't expect that'. I loved that reaction, so I went with it." Remixes by Jarreau Vandal and Para One were released on 29 January 2016. The latter's remix makes use of vocoder noodling and synth streaks that give it a subtle G-funk feel, while Lipa's vocals are converted into a 1980s-style with R&B-pop hooks.
"New Love" was first included on the Austria, Germany and Switzerland exclusive extended play (EP) for Lipa's single "Be the One" as the second track, released on 19 February 2016. A live, shortened version of the song was released as the second track on Lipa's 8 July 2016-released extended play Spotify Sessions. It is also included on Lipa's Urban Outfitters-exclusive vinyl extended play The Only, released on 21 April 2017 serving as the fifth and final track. "New Love" serves as the lead single from Lipa's self-titled debut studio album, released as the deluxe edition's fifteenth track on 2 June 2017. It was originally intended to be placed as the seventh track on the standard edition of the album, and appears in that position on the Austrian, German and Swiss version of the album.
Lipa gave her first live performance of "New Love" at Eurosonic Noorderslag in the Netherlands on 13 January 2016. It was included in the set lists for Lipa's 2016 UK Tour and Hotter than Hell Tour, accompanied by two keyboardists and a drummer. She also performed the track at Lollapalooza on 30 July 2016, her Mother Teresa Square concert in Albania on 10 August 2016, and at the SWR3 New Pop Festival in Germany on 16 September 2016. During the Self-Titled Tour in 2017 and 2018, Lipa performed the song backed only by a guitarist.
In contrast to her later singles, "New Love" received limited attention. However, it proved popular among music tastemakers and helped Lipa receive a longlisting in the BBC's Sound of... critics poll for 2016. The 405 named it "a contender for the strongest debut of 2015." Courtney Buck, a reviewer from the publication, found the production "strangely haunting", but cited Lipa's vocals as "the star of the show". Chris Martins of Spin felt the production was "wisely restrained enough to cede the stage to Lipa's incredible pipes, capable of belting hooks and seeping seduction in equal measure." Caroline Sullivan wrote in The Guardian that the singer showcased a "smoke-darkened voice older and more disillusioned than her years." Jocasta Jones of The Independent on Sunday called Lipa's vocals "beautiful".
