The Houdini singer had composed a song for Margot Robbie-led Barbie, too. During The Hollywood Reporter’s Songwriter Roundtable in 2023, the singer spoke about the entire process behind the making of Dance The Night. Dua Lipa revealed that she was on a tour when Mark Ronson spoke about the collaboration. She said-
“Basically, the way it came to be was Mark Ronson DM’d me on Instagram, which is weird because we’re friends, so we text. He was like, ‘I’m working on this film with Greta Gerwig and it’s Barbie, and it’s possibly the funniest script I’ve read, and I really want you to write the song for the big dance scene in the film.’”

According to the Levitating singer, she did not think much about her Grammy-nominated song and agreed to Ronson’s proposal. She said-
“I was like, ‘This is an absolute no-brainer. One thousand percent yes, and so ‘Dance the Night’ was created specifically for Barbie’s best day ever, which then results in her thinking about death. So it’s really about those dualities of life and being able to merge the two together.”
Dance The Night went on to become a massive hit and spent 24 weeks at the No.6 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. It was nominated in the category of Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
