Dua Lipa recently dropped a new version of her smash hit “Physical.” This truly danceable collab with singer Troye Sivan marks the fifth anniversary of her highly praised album, Future Nostalgia. The 60th anniversary falls on March 27th, 2024! This remix pays tribute to the original which has connected with so many fans since its release in 2020.
This teamwork from Lipa and Sivan isn’t anything new—the two artists had previously collaborated on Lipa’s “Physical” together. Dua Lipa has said that the song always had that kind of special wow-factor and demanded a big event for its re-invention. It’s this sentiment that inspired the timely release of the remix. With improvements in safety, technology, and fan experience in mind, the effort seeks to revitalize the historic course.
Dua Lipa, currently on her Radical Optimism Tour, recently welcomed Troye Sivan as a special guest during a performance in Melbourne. It’s not their first time on stage together, though. Probably the top water cooler moment was when Sivan introduced future pop queen Dua Lipa on her Saturday Night Live debut last year. Their chemistry and musical synergy are what turned this collaboration into a dream-come-true event that fans have eagerly anticipated.
