The British pop star Dua Lipa announced she will be releasing her new single on November 9.

The Grammy-winning pop star announced her new single on Wednesday with a sultry cover art reveal on Instagram. The photo shows Dua Lipa with her recently debuted auburn hair, licking her reflection in a mirror.

With its catchy title and steamy artwork, “Houdini” is sure to be another hit for the New Rules singer.

The star wiped her Instagram and TikTok accounts, then changed her profile picture to a kaleidoscopic image on all platforms. This left fans wondering what was going on, but Lipa soon reappeared, announcing her new single, “Houdini.”

With its mysterious lead-up and cryptic teasers, the singer has been posting and quickly deleting mysterious videos on social media. The content features mirrored images, close-ups of herself, and footage of her playing with a key on her tongue.

Dua Lipa’s cryptic “Houdini” teasers are now archived on her Instagram, but they remain on her X profile.

The first teaser, posted on October 12, shows Dua Lipa with her new auburn hair and the caption “miss me?” Furthermore, the singer’s cryptic “Houdini” teasers have fans speculating that she’s about to launch her next album.

To add on, the singer’s last full-length album, Future Nostalgia, was released in 2020 and includes some of her biggest hits to this date, notably “Levitating,” “Don’t Stop Now,” and “Break My Heart.”

Even though it’s been three years since her last album, Dua Lipa’s been dropping hit singles. Her latest, “Dance the Night” with Mark Ronson, is part of the Barbie movie soundtrack.

She has also been part of recent collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion on “Sweetest Pie” and Calvin Harris’ Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2, “Potion,” which also features Young Thug.  

The singer recently made her acting debut with a cameo in Barbie and will star in the 2024 spy thriller Argyle, as she branches out into new creative ventures.

In a recent interview in August with Vogue France, the pop singer commented, “The only baby I’m thinking about is my new album.”

She continued, “For me, when the moment is right, I will know. But, until then, I have other priorities. I want to continue making the most of my youth.”
