On Halloween 2019, Miss Dula Peep graced us with one of the best pop singles of the past decade and heralded in a new era for pop music that helped shape our current popscape.

"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.

Any memories attached to the song?

Game changing CLASSIC pop smash!

What a monster classic 

thank you Zachary Campbell 

 

 

One of the best lead singles ever  

Mega bop 

A legendary song

herstory

The world shifted on its axis 

I will never understand that lazy video though... Somebody (Dukagjin) laundered the budget for it.

Still sounds so ******* fresh.

 

A classic and one of the very few songs that changed the landscape of pop music.

Damn, I can't believe it's been that long. Felt like yesterday when it came out. 

5 years? How did that happen. Seriously it doesn't feel like that long ago.

Same time passes crazy fast

Ot:THE WAY SHE ENDED HA HATERS WITH THIS SONG 

I refuse to believe it's been 5 years 

BOP

5 years already

I remember going to parties before the pandemic and this song was THE song. It was everywhere. What a moment in time. Sadly, she was blocked from #1 in both USA and UK. This song deserved the first spot so bad.

Yeah, I don't get it as well. The music video is a snooze festival.

fantastic song that sounds like a proper lead with an always growing instrumental , full of hooks  (very mid video though)

That was a classic 

The stimulus, driving force, resurgence-er (or a significant one) to the disco-pop revival this decade

How???
