When Dua Lipa came to visit the Tiny Desk, she had nothing to prove — and much to live up to. After all, the singer’s Tiny Desk (home) concert, recorded in London in the aftermath of her 2020 blockbuster Future Nostalgia, still holds the record for the most-viewed Tiny Desk concert in history, her 130 million views surpassing even the likes of Mac Miller and Anderson .Paak.

00:00Are you someone that I can give my heart to Or just a poison that I'm drawn to
00:24It can be hard to tell the difference late at night
00:30Hey Faith, is that a compass in your nature Or are you tricky cause I've been there
00:41And baby I don't need to learn that lesson twice
00:50And if you really wanna go there, you should know
00:55I need someone to hold me close, deeper than I've ever known
01:00Whose love feels like a rodeo, knows just how to take control
01:05When I'm vulnerable, he's straight talkin' to my soul
01:08Conversation overload, got me feelin' vertigo
01:15Are you somebody who can go there Cause I don't wanna have to show ya
01:24If that ain't you then let me know yet Cause training season's over
01:32To see my lovers in a good light Don't wanna do it just to be nice
01:48Don't wanna have to teach ya how to love me right
01:55I hope it hurts me like an arrow Someone with some potential
02:04Is this too much to ask for Who understands
02:10I need someone to hold me close, deeper than I've ever known
02:15Whose love feels like a rodeo, knows just how to take control
02:19When I'm vulnerable, he's straight talkin' to my soul
02:23Conversation overload, got me feelin' vertigo
02:29Are you somebody who can go there Cause I don't wanna have to show ya
02:37If that ain't you then let me know yet Cause training season's over
02:46Alright Tiny Desk, how we feelin'?
02:48I'm doin' deeper by the way, let me hear you make some noise
03:00Can you compete, now is your time Run when you hear that whistle blow
03:08Are you on my team, or stuck on the sidelines Waiting for someone to tell you to go
03:19For someone to tell you to go
03:25You should know I need someone to hold me close, deeper than I've ever known
03:31Whose love feels like a rodeo, knows just how to take control
03:36When I'm vulnerable, he's straight talkin' to my soul
03:39Conversation overload, it's training season's over
03:49Training season, training season Training season, training season
03:57Training season's over
04:07Thank you, thank you guys so much
04:19Thank you
04:30Wow, thank you so much, thank you for having us down here today
04:34I've always wanted to come down and be by the desk
04:38We did a at-home Tiny Desk in 2020, so this feels really, really special
04:45Did anyone see that one, by the way?
04:49Alright, well, we've got a lot to live up to, so hopefully we can top that one up
04:53The songs that I want to perform for you guys today are from my new record, Radical Optimism
04:59And this next song is one of my favourites, and it's called These Walls
05:16Maybe I should switch careers
05:21Cause baby, you know no one beats our poker faces
05:25And when the night ends up in tears
05:29Wake up and we blame it all on being wasted
05:33Oh, this love is vaping
05:41So much we're not saying
05:47But if these walls could talk
05:50They'd say enough
05:52They'd say you're fucked
05:55If these walls could talk
05:58They'd say you know
06:00They'd say you're fucked
06:03It's not supposed to hurt this much
06:07If these walls could talk
06:10Tell us to break up
06:19Tell us to break up
06:29They tell us go ahead and face your fears
06:32It's getting worse the longer that we stay together
06:37We call it love but hate it here
06:40Did we really mean it when we said forever?
06:44Oh, this love is vaping
06:53So much we're not saying
06:59But if these walls could talk
07:02They'd say enough
07:04They'd say you're fucked
07:07If these walls could talk
07:10They'd say you know
07:12They'd say you're fucked
07:15It's not supposed to hurt this much
07:19If these walls could talk
07:23Tell us to break up
07:26These walls, these walls, these walls
07:31Tell us to break up
07:34These walls, these walls, these walls
07:39Tell us to break up
07:42You don't wanna go
07:44Don't wanna stop
07:46Heaven knows
07:49I don't wanna be the one to cut it off
07:54But if these walls could talk
07:57They'd say enough
07:59They'd say you're fucked
08:02If these walls could talk
08:05They'd say you know
08:07They'd say you're fucked
08:10It's not supposed to hurt this much
08:14If these walls could talk
08:18Tell us to break up
08:21These walls, these walls, these walls
08:26Tell us to break up
08:29These walls, these walls
08:32Will tell us break up
08:47Thank you so much
08:50Thank you so much, I love it here
08:54I've loved watching Tiny Desks
08:57and I love the way the artists come in
09:00and reimagine their songs and their music
09:03and it's always really inspiring
09:05and this next song that I'm gonna sing
09:08I guess in a way that I've never sung before
09:10is a song about my ex-boyfriend
09:13getting a new girlfriend
09:15and me being happy about it
09:20So this song is called Happy Feet
09:39Late on a Tuesday
09:42I saw your picture

09:59And I didn't even want to cry
10:04Oh, what is this feeling?
10:08Couldn't believe it
10:11Had to ask myself why
10:15I must have loved you more than I ever knew
10:24Cause I'm happy for you

10:56Even the hard parts were all for the best
11:00I see where you're at now
11:03You picked up the pieces
11:05And then you gave them to somebody else
11:12And I didn't even want to cry
11:17Oh, what is this feeling?
11:21Couldn't believe it
11:23Had to ask myself why
11:28I must have loved you more than I ever knew
11:34Didn't know I could have
11:37Cause I'm happy for you
11:45I'm not mad, I'm not hurt
