11 May 2021, 16:11
Dua Lipa’s song ‘Levitating’ is just one of the bops from her album ‘Future Nostalgia’ and the galactic-inspired lyrics are still going round fans’ heads.
Dua Lipa released ‘Levitating’ as a single after including it alongside some of her biggest bangers on ‘Future Nostalgia’ such as ‘Don’t Start Now’, ‘Physical’ and ‘Cool’ – all of which have lyrics we’ve been singing since the EP was released.
'Levitating' remains one of the chart-toppers, bringing the disco vibes we've all been longing for for an entire year.

‘Levitating’ very much remains a tune in 2021, especially after Dua performed it at her virtual one-off concert, Studio 2054 in November.

While the video is something we’ll be trying to recreate next time we’re in a hotel lift, the lyrics are full of phrases we can imagine Dua having tattooed on her arm.
If you wondered what the lyrics are, and what Dua’s actually singing about, here’s a little breakdown for you:
What do Dua Lipa’s ‘Levitating’ lyrics mean?
Considering both ‘Future Nostalgia’ and its club remix album are pure dance-pop anthems we’re not going to delve too deep into this one.
But it’s pretty obvious by the music video alone ‘Levitating’ is about something we can only reminisce from our pre-pandemic lives; letting go on the dance floor – and of course locking eyes with a certain someone at the same time.
The giveaway is in the lyrics: “I got you, moonlight, you’re my starlight / I need you all night, come on, dance with me.”
Is anyone else imagining Dua and boyfriend Anwar Hadid twirling around their kitchen singing the lyrics?
She spoke to Apple Music about the idea behind the song and her answer just shows how much more creative she got for this album: “This is about me exploring happy songs and doing something that’s not ‘dance crying.’
“It’s about having fun and meeting someone and falling in love and thinking, ‘You’ve probably met me at the perfect time, let’s just go for it.’ It’s the feeling when love makes you feel like you’re levitating. It’s otherworldly.”

Dua Lipa ‘Levitating’ lyrics
If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy
And I can take you for a ride
I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm
Where the music don't stop for life
Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes
Shining just the way I like
If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company
You met me at the perfect time
[Pre-Chorus]
You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight (You're the moonlight)
I need you all night, come on, dance with me I'm levitating
[Verse 2]
I believe that you're for me, I feel it in our energy
I see us written in the stars
We can go wherever, so let's do it now or never
Baby, nothing's ever, ever too far
Glitter in the sky, glitter in our eyes
Shining just the way we are I feel like we're forever every time we get together
But whatever, let's get lost on Mars
[Pre-Chorus]
You want me, I want you, baby
My sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegading
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I'm feeling so electric, dance my ass off
And even if I wanted to, I can't stop
