This disco-inspired track finds Dua Lipa full of positivity following a breakup: Walk away You know how Don't start caring About me now The jealous ex just can't stand the fact that the singer is over their relationship. Dua Lipa tells him he's better off staying away rather than seeing her dancing with somebody else. "It's about moving on," Lipa told Radio.com. "It's about finding confidence in that and not letting anyone get in the way of your happiness. I think it's always important to remember that your happiness should come first."

"I chose to put this song out first so I could close one chapter of my life and start another," she explained. "Into a new era with a new sound!"
