“Dua Lipa – Houdini” is a song by English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa. It was released on 10 November 2023 as the lead single from Lipa's upcoming third studio album.
The song is about fleeting relationships and the challenges of commitment. The lyrics depict a sense of impermanence and evasiveness, using the metaphor of the famous illusionist Harry Houdini to illustrate the artist's tendency to come and go. By comparing herself to Houdini, Dua Lipa refers to her similar ability to escape romantic relationships when her boyfriend doesn't show enough effort or commitment.
For the song's marketing campaign, Dua Lipa posed with a key in her mouth, symbolizing the possibility she has to escape any possible prison. The song was produced by Danny L Harle and Kevin Parker. Lipa co-wrote the song with Harle, Parker, Caroline Ailin, and Tobias Jesso Jr.
The single debuted at number one in Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Greece, number two on the UK Singles Chart and in the top ten in Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Russia and Switzerland. Critics have praised the song for its catchy tune and Dua Lipa's confidence-filled vocals.
