Producer Ian Kirkpatrick on the bassline for Dua Lipa’s Don’t Start Now: “It’s MIDI, don’t get mad at me! If I could play bass like that, I would!”

Dua Lipa

With Dance The Night, her new song from the Barbie movie soundtrack, Dua Lipa is staying in the nu-disco furrow that she ploughed throughout much of her hugely successful 2020 album, Future Nostalgia.

That record was introduced in 2019 by lead single Don’t Start Now, a disco banger that was penned by Emily Warren, Ian Kirkpatrick, Caroline Ailin and Dua Lipa herself. Kirkpatrick also produced the track, and back in 2020 he discussed the writing and recording process with Music Week.
