Dua Lipa and Elton John have teamed up for their sparkling new single “Cold Heart (Pnau Remix).” Watch the accompanying video below.
On their duet, the superstars take turns interpolating lyrics from some of Sir Elton’s greatest hits, including 1972’s “Rocket Man” and 1989’s “Sacrifice.” “Cold, cold heart/ Hard done by you/ Some things lookin’ better, baby,” the legendary singer-songwriter croons over Pnau’s disco-inspired beat, leading the pop star to respond, “And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time/ ‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find.”
Ahead of the release, both singers hyped up the track, as well as their love for each other, on social media. “I’m fizzing with excitement!!!! @eltonjohn I love you and i’m so happy this is finally coming out into the world,” Lipa wrote on her Instagram Story, while Sir Elton crafted his own Instagram post, writing, “Dua, I adore you, and it has been an incredible experience making this together. I can’t wait for you all to hear it!”

Of course, “Cold Heart” isn’t the first time the pair have duetted together. Back in March, they took the stage together at John’s annual Oscars viewing party, performing each other’s hit songs while he accompanied them on the piano.
Both Dua and Sir Elton have found themselves embroiled in the scandal over DaBaby’s recent homophobic tirade as of late, with the former distancing herself from her “Levitating” collaborator and the latter also condemning the rapper’s uneducated statements.
Meanwhile, Lipa also contributed to Pop Smoke’s new posthumous album Faith — on album cut “Demeanor” — while John announced the final round of dates for his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour back in June before collaborating with Miley Cyrus on her star-studded cover of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters.”
