Dua Lipa Announces New Single "Houdini": Here's When It Arrives

British-Albanian singer Dua Lipa is gearing up to release a brand-new single, "Houdini".

On Wednesday, the three-time Grammy winner took to social media to share the single’s cover art and the song's date. 

“HOUDINI NOV 9TH 11PM GMT. PRE ORDER IN BIO,” she captioned.

The official “Houdini” announcement comes after weeks of cryptic teasers that the “New Rules” singer frequently posted and deleted, a nod to the slippery nature of Harry Houdini — the iconic Hungarian-American escape artist and illusionist from whom Lipa’s new single sources its title. 

While her Instagram page only displays the “Houdini” cover art, Lipa’s X timeline still boasts some of those earlier teases, including the original picture she used to debut her red hair with the caption, “Miss me?”.

“Houdini” will mark Lipa’s second musical release of the year. On May 25, she unleashed “Dance the Night” for the Barbie soundtrack. 

On the Warner Bros. “for your consideration” website, the nu-disco banger is listed under the studio’s submissions for the best original song category at the upcoming 96th Oscars.

The pop star has not released an LP since 2020’s Future "Nostalgia" — the disco love letter that earned her a Grammy win for best pop vocal album, boosted her into pop music‘s upper echelon, and housed the Hot 100 smash hits “Levitating” (No. 2), “Don’t Start Now” (No. 2) and “Break My Heart” (No. 13). 

In the interim, she notched an additional Hot 100 top 10 hit alongside Elton John and PNAU with “Cold Heart” (No. 7) as well as released collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion (“Sweetest Pie,” No. 15) and Calvin Harris and Young Thug (“Potion,” No. 71).
