"Don't Start Now" received highly positive reviews upon its release, with many reviewers noting significant growth in Lipa's sound and vocals. Critics also praised the use of 1980s and disco sounds for standing out among other pop releases at the time. At the upcoming 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, the song is nominated in three categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. The song peaked at number two on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, surpassing Lipa's 2017 song "New Rules" to become her highest-charting single on the latter. In the UK, the song registered the sixth-longest top 10 stay on the chart, and broke a record for the most weeks spent in the top 10 without reaching number one.
"Don't Start Now" is considered to be the beginning of a revival for disco music in 2020 as downtempo, urban-styled music previously dominated mainstream music. The music video was directed by Nabil Elderkin and filmed in Brooklyn. It features point-of-view and high-angle shots of Lipa dancing at a crowded nightclub and masquerade ball. To promote the song, Lipa performed it on many television programmes and awards shows, including the 2019 MTV Europe Music Awards, the 2019 American Music Awards and the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Numerous remixes have accompanied the song, including an extended Live in L.A. Remix which features a 19-piece live band, for which an accompanying music video directed by Daniel Carberry was also released.
Writing and production
Lipa wrote "Don't Start Now" with the same team who wrote her 2017 single "New Rules": Caroline Ailin, Emily Warren and Ian Kirkpatrick.[1] The song came about after Joe Kentish, the A&R head at Lipa's label Warner Records, challenged Kirkpatrick in late 2018 to recreate the success of "New Rules".[2] The first writing session took place after Warren invited Ailin and Kirkpatrick to her home in Wyoming to attend a disco night at a local dive bar where songs including Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" (1978) were played. Inspired by that night, they decided to write a disco song the next morning as "it's the most fun to dance to".[3][4] The song's initial concept was based on Ailin's feelings of responsibility towards her ex following their relationship.[5]
Kirkpatrick also worked with producer J Kash, inviting several writers to help find a sound for the song, which became a back-and-forth between 1980s and disco music.[2] They contemplated emulating music by Madonna, and created more than 10 reference tracks for Lipa to sample and choose from.[6] Ailin, Warren and Kirkpatrick eventually co-wrote the song with Lipa in January 2019.[2] The cowbell used on the song was present on the first demo and inspired by Two Door Cinema Club's music. Kirkpatrick based it on Lipa's phrasing in the chorus.[2] According to him, the strings are a combination of Kontakt Session Strings, "some weird Nexus 1970s string patch", and live strings.[7] Although the bassline of "Don't Start Now" sounds live, Kirkpatrick created it with MIDI. It was influenced by similar basslines the Bee Gees and Daft Punk used in their music that he had listened to in his youth.[8] Kirkpatrick used a Scarbee MM-Bass plug-in for the leading bass sound and played it on a keyboard before modifying it. He wanted to abstain from disco for a more 1990s sound in the pre-chorus by adding sub-bass combined with thumb bass guitar and slaps in the drop from Trilian.[7]
Lipa recorded most of her vocals with a Shure SM7 microphone. Kirkpatrick said he understood the song better after Lipa sang it and was told by Kentish that the bridge sounded like an "after-thought".[7] He thus spent a further two weeks completing the song before sending stems to Josh Gudwin for mixing. To improve the bridge, Kirkpatrick added a "vocal chop", and extra drums inspired by the Weeknd's song "Can't Feel My Face". He recalled, "The first version of the drums didn't sound as fat. I was worried that the song would sound too disco, too classic. It needed something new, to make it the perfect mix of old and new".[7] Kirkpatrick had a separate project for the chord progression before the drop to help him decide which combination of piano and synths to use. For this section, he went through 25 different ideas and incorporated them into four versions. His final rough mix included nearly 100 tracks.[7] Kirkpatrick sent the final version to Lipa when she was attending Glastonbury Festival in June 2019.[9]
Music and lyrics
"Don't Start Now" is a nu-disco song.[10][11] It features elements of dance-pop and Eurodance, while channeling modern disco antecedents such as French house and Italo disco.[12][13][14] The song is composed in 4
4 time and the key of B minor, with a tempo of 124 beats per minute. Constructed in verse-chorus form, the verses have an Em–Bm–G–D–A chord progression, and the chorus follows a Bm–D–Em7–F♯m7–Gmaj7 sequence.[15] Several 1980s and disco tropes are included in the French bloghouse production,[16][17] which also makes use of laser weapon sound effects, electro-violin stabs and handclaps.[2][17][18] It additionally has a percolating funk bassline that interchanges with piano chords and the house beat.[2][19][20][21]
The song opens with a three-chord piano intro from the first part of the chorus and a fuzz sound of a spinning record.[2][15][22] Lipa eschews modulation in her vocals and build from a lower register to a natural use of melisma, spanning from the low note of A3 to the high note of D5.[15][17] It builds with the addition of accented disco strings,[23][24] and bursts of disco synths.[17][25] It has a strong kick and bass pattern that uses the low-end sparingly. After every fourth measure, a fill is used; for example, in the snare-kick sequence that precedes the second verse.[19] A cowbell in appears in the anthemic, 1980s synth-pop chorus, which is backed by strings.[2][17][26] The second verse adds a rhythm guitar loop and crowd noise is added in the second chorus.[22][27] During the final chorus, chordal devices from the breakdown reappear for texture, and Lipa sings in call and response.[19][22]
Various critics viewed the song as a sequel to "New Rules" as both have similar themes whereas "Don't Start Now" proves that the rules created in order to get over an ex in the former track actually work in a breakup.[note 2] According to Lipa, the lyrics have a theme of empowerment and are about "moving on" from a past relationship and "not allowing anyone to get in the way of that", while also finding confidence and happiness.[1][31] She celebrates her independence, and uses bullet point instructions to address a needy former lover directly,[32][33][34] with lyrics including, "Don't show up, don't come out / Don't start caring about me now / Walk away, you know how / Don't start caring about me now".[35]
Release and promotion
Prior to the single's release, Lipa panicked, never having asked for feedback on the song. Her manager, Ben Mawson, was concerned that its disco sound was too different from music popular on American radio at the time. However, Mawson was assured by his radio promotion executive that it was "the kind of song that could change the radio".[36] On 10 October 2019, Variety mentioned the single's release date in an article about Lipa's management but subsequently edited the release date to "soon".[37]
Fans of Lipa leaked the song's title and lyrics on Twitter on 14 October 2019.[38] Later that month, the singer cleared her social media accounts to announce the release of "Don't Start Now".[39][40] She first shared two teaser videos on social media featuring snippets of the song on 22 and 23 October 2019.[41][42] YouTube Music promoted the release on billboards in London and Times Square.[43][44] The song was also promoted with its own lens filter on Snapchat.[45]
"Don't Start Now" was released for digital download and streaming on 31 October 2019 as the lead single from Future Nostalgia.[note 1] The Radio 1 Breakfast Show played the song exclusively to an eight-year-old fan of Lipa before its release.[48] The song was serviced to contemporary hit radio formats the following day in Australia,[49] Italy,[50] and the United Kingdom,[51] as well as the United States on 5 November.[52] In November 2019, a vertical video was released on Spotify and a lyric video was released on YouTube.[53][54] The song was later included as the second track on the album, released 27 March 2020.[55]
Critical reception
"Don't Start Now" received highly positive reviews from music critics.[56] In her review for Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos called the song "the peak of pop catharsis" and "a Studio 54 fantasy"; she said it evolved Lipa's sound and that she "finally finds her pop footing".[57] Nick Malone of PopMatters wrote that the song displays significant growth in Lipa's sound and identity, and that she is "springing forth in full colour" with sharper and more distinguishable vocals.[58] For Under the Radar, Conrad Duncan observed the "fantastically sleek" song played to Lipa's strengths.[59] Los Angeles Times pop critic Mikael Wood felt Lipa's vocals had grown more soulful and suited the "delightfully rubbery" song's retro sound.[60] Similarly, Pitchfork's Matthew Strauss thought that the production suits Lipa and appreciated her non-modulated vocals, writing that "her voice sounds stronger than ever".[17]
Laura Snapes of The Guardian cited Lipa's vocals as the song's best feature, writing that she distinguishes herself from her contemporaries with a classic style, rather than "the charts' predominant rap-influenced sound".[23] Writing for Variety, Chris Willman felt it brought "a certain kind of deep groove and attitudinal buoyancy back onto the radio at a time we needed it most, which is anytime at all".[61] Gigwise's Jordan Emery complimented its "satisfyingly catchy hooks and interesting ideas", and "slick bassline that just breathes effortlessness and joy".[62] Jolie Lash of Spin viewed the bassline as "pop's best in recent memory" and called the song "an 'I Will Survive' for an era when we really need the reassurance".[63] In The Wall Street Journal, Mark Richardson saw "bodies in motion" while listening due to its "alluring thump".[64] Writing for Exclaim!, Brad Garcia regarded "Don't Start Now" as a homage instead of an obvious attempt to replicate past success.[65]
In her review for NME, Rhian Daly deemed the song "powerful pop perfection", while musicOMH's Nick Smith described the song as a "Moloko-esque nu-disco treasure".[11][29] AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung appreciated Lipa's "endless supply of confidence, charm, and cooler-than-you attitude", and called it an "immediate earworm".[66] Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone similarly wrote that it has instant appeal, with "hooks piled upon hooks" and "a recipe for club glory".[67] Entertainment Weekly's Marc Snetiker described it as a "dance floor jawdropper".[68] The Daily Telegraph's music critic Neil McCormick regarded it as "a fantastic put-down of a needy ex", whilst music critic Maura Johnston interpreted it as "post-breakup rebirth".[20][69] In The New York Times, Jon Caramanica explained the song was "effective but not overambitious", arguing that Lipa sells its "kiss-off sentiment with rhythm but not punch".[70]
Accolades
In 2019, Idolator hailed "Don't Start Now" as the best song of year.[71] In GQ it placed at number eight on the year-end list for the magazine's British edition and the American version ranked it in the 15th position.[72][73] Elle named it the second best song of the year, while Time thought it was 2019's fifth best song.[34][74] Billboard and NME ranked the song at number 41 and 17 respectively on their year-end lists.[25][75] The song was additionally placed on 2019 unranked lists by E! and Insider.[76][77] In 2020, "Don't Start Now" placed on unranked year-end lists by The Guardian's Elle Hunt,[78] Nylon,[79] and Slate.[80] NPR writer Nate Chinen named it the year's fifth best song.[81] Variety acclaimed the song as 2020's best song.[82] It was ranked at number two and three respectively on Gaffa and The Plain Dealer's year-end lists.[83][84] In Consequence of Sound, Gigwise and Spin, the song was placed in the 9th, 8th and 20th positions, respectively.[85][86][87] In Rolling Stone, the song placed at number six on their year-end list.[88]
"Don't Start Now" won the American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Song at the 2020 ceremony, giving Lipa her first American Music Award.[89] It received nominations for Best Song at the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards as well as Best British Song and Best Song in the World at the 2020 NME Awards.[90][91] At the 2020 BreakTudo Awards and 2020 LOS40 Music Awards, the song received respective nominations for International Hit and Best International Song.[92][93] It was awarded an iHeartRadio Titanium Award for receiving one billions spins on the station in the United States.[94] The song is currently nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the upcoming 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, marking Lipa's first acknowledgment in all three categories.[95]

Music video
The music video for "Don't Start Now" was filmed on 14 October 2019 in Brooklyn.[38] It was directed by Nabil Elderkin, who had previously worked with Lipa during her 2019 campaign for Yves Saint Laurent's Libre fragrance.[122][123] The video was produced by Eric Brown with Operator Media serving as the production company.[124] Elderkin found inspiration for the treatment by skating around London while listening to the song. He used darker lighting and moods in a balance he felt complimented "Don't Start Now". Various concepts and edits were explored before Lipa and her management signed off on the final cut. Lipa decided at the last minute to use the final scene at the start of the video.[125] The music video premiered on YouTube on 1 November 2019.[note 3]
The video opens with a point-of-view shot of Lipa leaving a nightclub and throwing the camera onto the pavement. The clip blacks out briefly before rewinding to a scene from five hours earlier.[128] In it, Lipa enters a pub and removes her orange Raf Simons jacket to perform on stage in a yellow Versace bra top and Marni jeans.[129] The video then cuts to a crowded nightclub where Lipa dances under a disco ball and spotlight.[128][129] In the next scene, she dances at a 19th century-themed masquerade ball, and notices eyes on paintings coming to life. She runs down a staircase to return to the nightclub, and is later shown washing her face in the bathroom there and strutting its hallway. The video ends with a cumulative montage of the evening's events.[128][130]
Amy Francombe of The Face said Elderkin's signature directing style "shines through" in the neon colour schemes and high-angle shots.[125] Writing for Paper, Brendan Wetmore described the video as "something straight out of the POV TikTok genre and put onto Vevo".[131] In her review for Vogue, Rachel Hahn called it "a fine showcase for Lipa's expert post-breakup style".[129] Nylon's Allison Stubblebine compared the crowded nightclub scene to one in Harry Styles' music video for "Lights Up".[132] For the video, Elderkin was nominated for Best Direction at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, while the visual itself was nominated for Best Music Video at the 2020 Urban Music Awards.[133][134] The music video has received over 450 million views on YouTube.[135]
Live performances
Lipa gave her first live performance of "Don't Start Now" on 1 November 2019 on The Graham Norton Show.[136] Two days later, she performed the song at the 2019 MTV Europe Music Awards.[137] She wore a black leotard and was surrounded by a float of 40 dancers in yellow bodysuits during the performance, which was directed by Es Devlin;[125][138] it was acclaimed in the media.[139] BBC News reporter Mark Savage said, "Fans who'd previously made fun of her stage presence were won over by the dance moves and staging".[140] Clash's Zoya Raza-Sheikh wrote, "All it took was a few minutes for the singer to – yet again – prove a questioning audience wrong".[141] Writing for PopMatters, Evan Sawdey praised Lipa for "nailing tight choreography and delivering a striking stage presence heretofore unseen".[142] Lipa's other renditions also featured floats of dancers and used the same dance routine, but were modified slightly to resonate on various stages.[143] On 10 November 2019, she sang the song on the ninth season finale of The Voice of Germany with contestant Freschta Akbarzada.[144]
At her 2019 American Music Awards performance on 24 November, she wore a red bodysuit and was backed by a float of dancers in silver costumes during the 1970s-inspired rendition, which featured a giant disco ball and cube-shaped side tables as props.[145][146] The performance ended with silver, cushion-shaped balloons falling from the ceiling.[147] In Australia, Lipa presented the song at the 2019 ARIA Music Awards on 27 November 2019, and on the breakfast television programme Sunrise the following day.[148][149] In Japan, Lipa sang "Don't Start Now" in an all-black Versace outfit at the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards on 4 December 2019; South Korean singer Hwasa of Mamamoo opened for her, staging "New Rules".[150][151] On 17 December, she performed the song on the 17th US season finale of The Voice[152] surrounded by roller skaters in a showgirl-inspired set.[153][154] Lipa performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a string section on 19 December 2019, and on Good Morning America the following day.[155][156] On 31 December, she played "Don't Start Now" in a chequerboard miniskirt on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.[157] On 9 January 2020, Lipa performed the song in white pyjamas on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[158] During the presentation, purple and blue lights were projected on stage, creating silhouettes of Lipa and her dancers against a white backdrop.[159][160][161]
Lipa gave a virtual performance of "Don't Start Now" for The Late Late Show with James Corden on 30 March 2020, while in self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic.[162] Her band, backing singers and dancers also performed from their respective homes via Zoom in a changing split-screen.[163][164] On 22 April, she sang the song virtually on Big Brother Brasil 20.[165] On 17 September 2020, the singer presented the song for a second time on The Late Late Show with James Corden; this time as a parody version with "New Rules", titled "New Rules For COVID Dating", where Corden sang backing vocals.[166][167][168] Lipa wore an Alexandre Vauthier disco dress, covered in gold studs, as well as sheer black tights and black platforms, with two gold hair clips. For some parts of the show, she also wore a sparkly face mask that matches the dress.[169] Lipa performed the song as the closing track on her Studio 2054 livestream concert, which took place on 27 November 2020.[170] On 19 December, she performed the song on Saturday Night Live where she also presented her 2020 single "Levitating" and appeared in a World War II-themed skit.[171] For the performance, she wore a belted leopard-print top with black leggings and a gold chain necklace with a diamond, while dancing with backup dancers and a band.[172]
Remixes
"Don't Start Now" has been promoted with several remixes. Ones by Dom Dolla,[173] Purple Disco Machine,[174] Zach Witness and Kungs were released throughout November and December 2019.[175][176] A remix EP which includes all the aforementioned remixes along with one by Pink Panda was released 10 January 2020, followed by a remix by Kosovar DJ Regard on 24 January.[177][178] The Purple Disco Machine remix was categorised as a disco track.[179] Dom Dolla found his remix difficult to create due to its "super happy" vibe, and he intended to make it more "moody". The final result was a house track, with a "cruise-y" sound, which he thought worked well.[179][180] A "Live in LA" remix that features Lipa performing with a 19-piece band was released on 21 February 2020. It was preceded by the release of a music video directed by Daniel Carberry on 10 January 2020, which includes dancers and rollerbladers in the background.[181][182] The video was nominated for Best Live Video at the 2020 UK Music Video Awards.[183]
A remix by Korean-American electronic producer Yaeji was included on the DJ Mix edition Lipa and The Blessed Madonna's remix album Club Future Nostalgia, released on 28 August 2020.[184] Yaeji intended to pull out different emotions and moods, resulting in a darker and emotional take on the song. She found it difficult as "Don't Start Now" is her favourite song of Lipa's.[185] The remix spans Baltimore club, house, minimal disco, pop, and trap genres.[186][187][188] Its production includes a stop-start rhythm and deep bass, reminiscent of G-funk, and Yaeji uses her own vocals in the background, creating an ASMR-esque beat.[185][187] The remix samples "Sing Sing" (1978) by Gaz and "Bring Down the Walls" (1985) by Fingers Inc. and Robert Owens, thus Thor Baldursson, Mats Björklund, and Jürgen Korduletsch are credited as composers.[189][190] The unmixed version without the sample was released on 11 September 2020, along with a remix by Canadian DJ Kaytranada, both of which are included on the un-mixed standard edition of Club Future Nostalgia, released the same day.[191][192][193] The Kaytranada remix is a deep house[194][195][196] and funky house track,[197] described as "smooth, groovy, and understated" that is driven by a heavy bass.[198][199]
In popular culture
"Don't Start Now" is considered to be the start of what would become a revival for disco music in 2020.[200][201][202] At the time of its release, top 40 radio had been dominated by downtempo urban-styled music, and the song was one of very few dance tracks.[14][203][204][205] Due to this, the song was also thought to have started a new wave of disco-oriented music in radio format.[3] Some suspected that the song served as a "refuge" for some listeners during the COVID-19 pandemic as they were unable to attend hangouts with other individuals.[206][207] Its bullet point lyricism was used as an instructional meme for social distancing protocols associated with the pandemic.[36][208] It was included on the soundtracks of Love Island,[209] Love, Victor,[210] and Riverdale.[211] The video game Fortnite also used the song in its soundtrack, where a dance created by Filipino TikTok user Hannah Kaye Balanay was used as an emote.[5][212][213]
Several artists have covered "Don't Start Now". American singer Hayley Williams covered it for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in February 2020, along with her song "Simmer".[214] The cover was categorised as an R&B song with jazz elements; it retained the funk elements of the original but used sultry and raspy vocals, backed by drums.[21][215][216] American band Echosmith performed an indie rock rendition of the song for a Billboard live at home concert, along with a cover of Coldplay's "Fix You".[217] Australian rapper Illy performed a rap over the song that addresses social distancing, the Australian government's COVIDSafe app, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.[218] For Spotify Singles, Ingrid Andress recorded the song, converting it into an upbeat country ballad.[219] On The Masked Singer, "Don't Start Now" was apart of Chloe Kim's setlists.[220] In Dancing with the Stars and Strictly Come Dancing, actress Anne Heche and television presenter Clara Amfo both performed a cha-cha-cha dance to the song on each show, respectively.[221][222]
