Dua Lipa Approached Writing ‘Dance the Night’ as If She Was Scoring the Scene | How I Did It

“It’s very different when you’re writing to picture,” Lipa tells TheWrap of her approach to the “Barbie” dance anthem

Pop star Dua Lipa in no stranger to crafting numerous chart-toppers throughout her career, but embarking on Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” was an all-new adventure.

Lipa cowrote the disco-tinged song “Dance the Night” alongside Caroline Ailin, Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, which plays during Barbie’s (Margot Robbie) best night ever … before she asks if anyone else questions their mortality. The song sets the tone for a big high point in Barbie’s life before she goes on a journey that shows her what it truly means to be human.

“It’s very different when you’re writing to picture,” Lipa said in the latest episode of TheWrap’s How I Did It, presented by Warner Bros.
