Background
"Fever" was written by Lipa, Angèle, Caroline Ailin, Ian Kirkpatrick, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, and Julia Michaels, while the production was handled by Kirkpatrick.[4] Lipa originally intended to place a solo version the song on her second studio album Future Nostalgia, but thought that its "lithe" tropical beat didn't fit the album's sound. She decided to save it for a permutation of the album.[5] Following Future Nostalgia's March 2020 release, Lipa decided to contact Angèle's manager via email to send "Fever" to her and arrange a collaboration, which Angèle was up to do. Lipa discovered Angèle after her manager showed her Angèle's music video for "Balance Ton Quoi" (2019), which she adored, while Angèle discovered Lipa through the internet and her single "New Rules" (2017). The two also had used the same choreographer.[6][7][8]
They had been friends on social media prior to the collaboration and often sent one and other dog videos. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lipa and Angèle were unable to meet in person, but worked from a distance while Lipa was in the United States and Angèle was between Belgium and Paris. They communicated through SMS to talk about ideas for the song, and for Angèle to propose changes, including incorporating a keyboard. Angèle worked with Tristan Salvati and added French lyrics, and even got Lipa to sing in French. The artists both described "Fever" as a blend of their styles.[6][7][8] The song marks Angèle's first participation in an international song and first introduction in English-speaking audiences.[9]
Music and lyrics
"Fever" is a "sultry"[lower-alpha 2] dance-pop[13] and deep house song,[12] with elements of 2000s Eurodance.[14] The song is composed in 4
4 time and the key of F♯ minor, with a tempo of 115 beats per minute. It has a structure of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, middle eight, bridge. The verses follow a F♯m–E–Bm chord progression, while it adds an additional D chord to the sequence everywhere else.[15] The song features a "slinky" disco-pop production,[16][17] that includes Afrobeat-tinged synth-pop beats,[18][19] digital melodies and dynamic percussion that includes hand claps and snap sounds.[20][21] A Latin influence is included in the song with the "atmospheric" synths and rhythmic beats.[22] The song opens with tropical synths while it as a whole features "airy" instrumentals and off-kilter melodies.[23][24][25]
Lipa and Angèle both sing in English and French with their vocals ranging from F♯3 to C♯5.[15][18] Lipa performs a falsetto in the chorus, while Angèle uses a "breathy" vocal style and sings in iambic pentameter as the rhythm speeds up.[21][26] Lipa begins the song and Angèle joins in the second verse; the two sing together following that.[11] Lyrically, "Fever" deals with febrile and inevitably doomed lust themes,[27] with the singers using the metaphor of sickness as a crush.[25] They sing about the excitement of being with someone where they almost give one a fever and what comes with the infatuation.[7][24] Lipa and Angèle act as counterpoints to one and other, where Lipa is "strong, seductive, and playful," while Angèle is "softer, pleading, almost despondent."[27]
Release and promotion
Rumours of a collaboration between Lipa and Angèle began in October 2020 after the two were spotted filming its music video in London.[28] They began teasing the release of their collaboration on social media on 23 October 2020, exchanging the thermometer emoji back and forth.[29] On 26 October 2020, Lipa formally announced that their collaboration would be called "Fever" and that it was scheduled for a release four days later.[30] The song premiered at 23:00 GMT on 29 October 2020.[31] It was included on the digital and French editions of Lipa's second studio album Future Nostalgia (2020).[32][33] A remix of the song by French musician Oklou was released on 18 December 2020.[34] Lipa and Angèle performed "Fever" for the first time at the former's 27 November 2020 livestream concert Studio 2054 as the 12th track.[35] On 5 December 2020, the two singers performed the song at the 2020 NRJ Music Awards,[36] where Lipa also performed a medley of her singles "Levitating" and "Physical" (both 2020).[37]
Critical reception
In Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos and Althea Legaspi complimented how Lipa and Angèle's vocal intertwine with one and other, and how it compliments the song's "steamy sentiment" and "seductive" beat.[10] Writing for the Evening Standard, Jochan Embley noted Lipa's departure from the disco-pop of Future Nostalgia, and called the song a "tantalising taste" of Lipa's future work.[18] Mike Wass of Idolator viewed "Fever" as a "bilingual bop," and commended the "catchy" chorus and "elegant" middle eight.[16] The staff of Wonderland noted Lipa's Kylie Minogue, Elvis Presley, and Peggy Lee influences, and saw the song as a "slow burner" that is "all things sultry, hot and utterly atmospheric at the same time."[12] Frenchly's Catherine Rickman commended the song for being "upbeat, sexy, and undeniably catchy."[27] For Jenesaispop, Jordi Bardají compared "Fever" to "Look at Her Now" (2019) by Selena Gomez, another song produced by Kirkpatrick.[17]
In Billboard, Jason Lipshutz thought the song "happily prolongs" Future Nostalgia's "great era" and stated it "slows down the thump" of the album and simmers "instead of boiling over." He additionally complimented Lipa's vocals for encapsulating her "yearning" especially on the hook, and called Angèle's appearance a "satisfying assist."[38] Stereogum's staff viewed "Fever" as "conventional" and praised its beat calling it "fleet" and "efficient," and stating it "bubbles and twinkles". They additionally praised Lipa's pronunciation of "usually" saying it gives the song "shape and dimension" and sounds like a "bird call" sound effect.[25] In his review for Republic World, Gladwin Menezes viewed the song as a "melodious fashion" and thought that its sultriness creates the perfect emotion for blend of the two artists vocals.[39] Têtu's staff thought that "Fever" will help everyone pass the time while in the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.[24]
Isabella Vega of Euphoria Magazine labelled "Fever" a "smoky, melodic, low-key symphony of intoxicating lust" and noted its blend of Lipa's "new wave of nostalgia pop" and Angèle's "sophistication, flirtiness, and je ne sais quoi" vocals.[26] The staff of The Face labelled the song a "smooth dance pop tune,"[13] while Nina Corcoran of Consequence of Sound called it a "quick but infections pop song,"[21] and Derrick Rossignol for Uproxx labelled the song a "infectious and thumping pop tune."[40] iHeartRadio's Eliot Hill named "Fever" one of 2020's most underrated songs.[41] Atwood Magazine placed the song on its 2020 best songs of 2020 list, with Nicole Almeida of the magazine complimenting the blend of Lipa's "undeniable swagger" and Angèle's "innocent poise" vocals and how "genuine" it is. She concluded by naming the song an "achievement" for putting forward the best of the two singers without "dimming" their personalities.[42]

Music video
Background and release
The music video for "Fever" was directed by We are from L.A. and filmed in London in mid-October 2020. The video was filmed over the course of three days, all night shoots,[54] and filming the video was first time Lipa and Angèle met in person. Its concept is built on the stereotype of how women have to be home at a certain time to avoid the dangers of the street, but having a safety element when surrounded by other women.[6] The visual has an all women cast.[8] On 15 October 2020, British tabloid The Sun reported that Lipa had "flouted" rules associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the set was raided by the police after complaints from residents there. Lipa later denounced this by threatening to take legal action against the tabloid, who she didn't name.[55][56] The Sun later issued an official apology to Lipa for any distress they caused her. They confirmed that no COVID-19 rules were broken, and that the police were called due to an unrelated noise complaint.[57] The music video premiered on YouTube at 13:00 GMT on 6 November 2020.[58] It was prefaced with a live chat with both Lipa and Angèle on the platform.[59]
Synopsis
The video opens with a point-of-view shot of Lipa running out of a club, followed by Angèle, from the perspective of a taxi's backseat. Lipa wears a red leather jacket with blue jeans and black boots, while Angèle sports a red and black plaid jacket with a matching tank and black pants. Lipa calls out "taxi" before running up to the cab and requesting to take her to Camden. The driver accepts and Lipa hops in the backseat, but Angèle asks Lipa to walk around with her instead of going home. Lipa is suspecting at first but eventually agrees to and apologies to the taxi driver. The two begin walking and dancing around the rain-soaked London streets. Lipa then calls out Angèle's name and the two go into a takeaway restaurant, where they order chips and eat them with ketchup. The other people in the restaurant dance as Lipa and Angèle sing towards the camera. The duo goes back onto the streets with Lipa hanging from a street pole at one point. They are passed by a police car which features another point-of-view shot from its backseat. As Lipa attempts to make a call, both Angèle and the cop give one and other "dirty" looks and the police cars blue lights flash on Lipa and Angèle. They are then seen running beside graffitied walls.[60][61][62]
In the next scene, Lipa and Angèle are at a train station waiting for a train. Angèle asks Lipa how her dog Dexter is, in which Lipa responds that he had to stay in America due to the fact that her boyfriend, Anwar Hadid, had to work and that he needed to be neutered. Lipa then asks Angèle how to say "neutered" in French and Angèle responds with the word "castré". As this is happening, the song is playing over the speakers. The two then dance on the deserted platform, with clips of them on the camera system. Lipa and Angèle make their way to a quiet neighborhood where an old woman gives them a "dirty" look. As they make their way through the neighborhood, they are invited by two girls to a party in the apartment of some unknown people. While on their way there, Lipa, Angèle, and the two girls sing Angèle's French lyrics of the song live in a hallway, before a woman comes out of her apartment and yells at them for not being residents of the building they are in and for being too "loud". The fellow part-goers sit in the room looking at a computer, smoking, and drinking as Lipa and Angèle dance in the middle of the room. When the party is over the two leave the apartment in a dazed trance with their arms around one and other. The video closes with the duo entering a fish market singing Angèle's French lyrics live.[60][61][62]
Reception
Writing for Vogue, Manon Garrigues viewed the "Fever" music video as "lively and cheerful," while also assuring that it will "warm the hearts" of fans during COVID times.[63] The staff of L'Officiel praised the visual for being "four minutes of freedom to escape," and thought it represented what everyone wants to do while stuck in the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.[64] In his review for Billboard, Gil Kaufman wrote that the video reminded him of "the good ol' days" where one could go to bar, walk the streets, and figure out their messy lives until morning.[65] Rolling Stone's Angie Martoccio noted that the visual features the duo "immersing themselves in London nightlife,"[66] while Rhian Daly of NME saw the plot as a "journey" between the two artists,[67] and The Fader's Sajae Elder called the places Lipa and Angèle go "after-hours stop" and named the apartment party a "lively house jam."[68] The music video for "Fever" has received over 31 million views on YouTube.[62]
