for me as a form of escapism, and I feel like, 461 00:28:26,290 --> 00:28:28,430 although it was scary when releasing the record 462 00:28:28,465 --> 00:28:30,570 'cause it was at such an uncertain time, 463 00:28:30,605 --> 00:28:33,781 we didn't know how long we would be in this situation, 464 00:28:33,815 --> 00:28:36,128 for how long the pandemic would last, 465 00:28:36,162 --> 00:28:37,957 we never thought that we'd be a year in 466 00:28:37,992 --> 00:28:42,997 and still with the same lockdown measures 467 00:28:43,583 --> 00:28:45,171 and stuff like that. 468 00:28:45,206 --> 00:28:49,486 But I feel like it also just came at the perfect time 469 00:28:50,901 --> 00:28:55,388 for everybody to be able to have like or, in my eyes, 470 00:28:56,596 --> 00:28:58,288 I hope that people had it for them be 471 00:28:58,322 --> 00:29:01,532 like a source of escapism when they're at home 472 00:29:01,567 --> 00:29:02,879 and dancing in the kitchen. 473 00:29:02,913 --> 00:29:04,604 For one second, if you close your eyes, 474 00:29:04,639 --> 00:29:06,434 maybe you think you're outside 475 00:29:06,468 --> 00:29:07,780 clubbing or something. 476 00:29:09,368 --> 00:29:14,373 And so I think it was perfect just the way it is. 477 00:29:15,546 --> 00:29:16,409 I think some things are just meant to be, 478 00:29:16,444 --> 00:29:18,204 and hopefully, when the time comes, 479 00:29:18,239 --> 00:29:20,586 we can go back out and dance to these songs 480 00:29:21,587 --> 00:29:23,831 whenever the time is right. 481 00:29:23,865 --> 00:29:26,557 I'm grateful that it served as like a form of escapism, 482 00:29:26,592 --> 00:29:31,045 at least, during this time for myself and people around, 483 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:34,807 and my whole idea behind it was to still be able 484 00:29:34,842 --> 00:29:38,569 to create a fun world for people to enjoy even 485 00:29:38,604 --> 00:29:41,262 while they were at home, and, and I feel lucky 486 00:29:41,296 --> 00:29:43,195 that I had the opportunity to do that. 487 00:29:44,161 --> 00:29:45,266 "Future Nostalgia" 488 00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:48,131 became the most streamed album by a woman 489 00:29:48,165 --> 00:29:53,170 and fifth most streamed album overall on Spotify in 2020. 490 00:29:54,033 --> 00:29:55,345 The album debuted at number two 491 00:29:55,379 --> 00:29:57,796 on the official UK Albums Chart 492 00:29:58,693 --> 00:30:00,143 but then peaked at number one 493 00:30:00,177 --> 00:30:02,386 on the official UK Albums Chart the following week 494 00:30:02,421 --> 00:30:04,457 in April 2020 while four 495 00:30:04,492 --> 00:30:06,666 of the album's singles entered the top 10 496 00:30:06,701 --> 00:30:08,945 of the official singles chart. 497 00:30:08,979 --> 00:30:10,843 - You always have to believe in yourself 498 00:30:10,878 --> 00:30:13,397 before anybody else because that's the one thing 499 00:30:13,432 --> 00:30:15,468 that's always gonna push you 500 00:30:15,503 --> 00:30:18,368 in your confidence and move you forwards. 501 00:30:18,402 --> 00:30:23,407 And I think that's yeah, for any young girls, 502 00:30:24,615 --> 00:30:27,170 people are I guess gonna champion you 503 00:30:27,204 --> 00:30:29,966 until you get to where you want to be, 504 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,865 and then people are gonna try and bring you down 505 00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:34,084 or bring you down a couple pegs. 506 00:30:34,108 --> 00:30:38,008 But I think you have to remember that hard work 507 00:30:38,043 --> 00:30:39,527 and your dedication and your passion 508 00:30:39,561 --> 00:30:42,047 for what you do got you to where you wanna be, 509 00:30:42,081 --> 00:30:43,980 and no one can take that away from you. 510 00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:47,362 The album's closing track, 511 00:30:47,397 --> 00:30:50,331 "Boys Will Be Boys" showed Dua Lipa once again 512 00:30:50,365 --> 00:30:52,160 demonstrating her feminist side. 513 00:30:52,195 --> 00:30:54,680 As she said, she wrote the song intending 514 00:30:54,714 --> 00:30:58,235 to start a conversation about toxic masculinity 515 00:30:58,270 --> 00:31:01,169 and the growing pains girls experience. 516 00:31:01,204 --> 00:31:02,343 - I think for women, 517 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,142 self policing each other is second nature. 518 00:31:10,627 --> 00:31:12,905 For as long as I can remember myself going out 519 00:31:12,940 --> 00:31:16,012 with my friends alone, you would always send the text 520 00:31:16,046 --> 00:31:18,462 or you would always ask your friends to make sure 521 00:31:18,497 --> 00:31:20,464 that they'd message you when they get home 522 00:31:20,499 --> 00:31:25,504 or share your little Uber location thing 523 00:31:26,781 --> 00:31:28,932 that there's always this thing where we've just had to look 524 00:31:28,956 --> 00:31:31,234 out for each other and look out for ourselves a lot more. 525 00:31:31,268 --> 00:31:34,340 When I wrote "Boys Will Be Boys," it's very real. 526 00:31:34,375 --> 00:31:36,308 You put your keys through your knuckles. 527 00:31:36,342 --> 00:31:38,966 This is something that I've done literally 528 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,245 on my way back from school for three-minute walk 529 00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:46,111 from the bus station to the flat that I was living in. 530 00:31:46,145 --> 00:31:48,699 It wasn't far at all, but because it was nighttime 531 00:31:48,734 --> 00:31:50,115 and I was all on my own, 532 00:31:50,149 --> 00:31:53,221 I put my keys between my knuckles like Wolverine, 533 00:31:53,256 --> 00:31:55,948 thinking that just in case something was to happen, 534 00:31:55,983 --> 00:31:57,408 I would be protected or I would be able 535 00:31:57,432 --> 00:31:58,709 to look after myself. 536 00:31:58,744 --> 00:32:00,953 Or you'd walk down the street on your phone, 537 00:32:00,988 --> 00:32:04,474 and whether you were actually talking to someone 538 00:32:04,508 --> 00:32:06,717 or whether you were pretending to talk to someone, 539 00:32:06,752 --> 00:32:11,343 you were still trying to protect yourself in some way. 540 00:32:11,377 --> 00:32:13,414 I definitely feel like having a platform 541 00:32:13,448 --> 00:32:14,622 is such a privilege. 542 00:32:14,656 --> 00:32:17,487 I definitely try and speak up about things 543 00:32:17,521 --> 00:32:19,972 that are incredibly important to me. 544 00:32:20,007 --> 00:32:22,699 I want to be able to be a voice 545 00:32:22,733 --> 00:32:25,046 for those that have trusted me, 546 00:32:26,806 --> 00:32:29,257 and because I talk about so much about female equality 547 00:32:29,292 --> 00:32:32,778 and female empowerment, it was just a song that I felt 548 00:32:32,812 --> 00:32:36,678 like writing in that day in the studio. 549 00:32:36,713 --> 00:32:38,749 And I was like, "Well, this is just what happens." 550 00:32:38,784 --> 00:32:42,581 And what I felt when I was making "Boys Will Be Boys" 551 00:32:42,615 --> 00:32:45,135 is more so that I'm hoping that the younger generation 552 00:32:45,170 --> 00:32:47,448 will start asking questions and will be like, 553 00:32:47,482 --> 00:32:50,485 "Oh, why does this happen or why do you think she did this?" 554 00:32:51,728 --> 00:32:55,214 What sounds like quite a pretty song, again, 555 00:32:55,249 --> 00:32:57,458 you're like hearing the lyrics and you're like, 556 00:32:57,492 --> 00:33:00,219 "Oh, this is something very real," and it's, again, 557 00:33:01,427 --> 00:33:03,843 us masking the things that we have to do. 558 00:33:03,878 --> 00:33:08,572 The lyric, they cut deep in so many ways, 559 00:33:08,607 --> 00:33:13,508 but then it's, again, masking it with something pretty. 560 00:33:13,543 --> 00:33:16,063 But I hope that it just starts a conversation, 561 00:33:16,097 --> 00:33:19,859 and obviously, the conversation's already happening, 562 00:33:19,894 --> 00:33:22,828 and I think they need to continue to do so. 563 00:33:22,862 --> 00:33:24,726 At the time of the album's release, 564 00:33:24,761 --> 00:33:27,626 Dua Lipa became the first British female artist 565 00:33:27,660 --> 00:33:30,629 since Vera Lynne to have three top 10 singles 566 00:33:30,663 --> 00:33:35,392 in a single calendar year with Lynn having three in 1952. 567 00:33:55,654 --> 00:33:56,586 She eventually overrode this record 568 00:33:56,620 --> 00:33:58,208 with the single "Levitating," 569 00:33:58,243 --> 00:34:00,107 which also peaked within the top 10 570 00:34:00,141 --> 00:34:02,143 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, 571 00:34:02,178 --> 00:34:05,491 becoming her third top 10 in the US overall. 572 00:34:37,144 --> 00:34:39,525 Dua Lipa was also featured on "Prisoner," 573 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,460 a song from Miley Cyrus's seventh studio album, 574 00:34:43,495 --> 00:34:45,152 "Plastic Hearts." 575 00:34:45,186 --> 00:34:46,888 The single was released on the 19th of November 2020 576 00:34:46,912 --> 00:34:49,777 alongside the music video. 577 00:35:02,169 --> 00:35:03,653 In 2021, 578 00:35:03,687 --> 00:35:07,139 after a year of COVID lockdown rules and social distancing, 579 00:35:07,174 --> 00:35:09,693 the annual Brit Awards took place in May, 580 00:35:09,728 --> 00:35:12,696 held with a limited audience as a part of a trial 581 00:35:12,731 --> 00:35:14,526 to have a large crowd in a venue 582 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,976 without any social distancing. 583 00:35:17,011 --> 00:35:18,909 The ceremony had a live audience 584 00:35:18,944 --> 00:35:22,189 of over 4,000 key workers
