Dua Lipa doesn’t care on “Don’t Start Now.” She doesn’t care about you, the bad ex-boyfriend who, now, suddenly, seems to care because she’s “so moved on it’s scary.” And she’s dancing with someone else, or at least she could if she wanted. And her voice sounds stronger than ever, inching closer and closer toward a natural deployment of melisma, not dramatically Aguilerian but more robust than that of the young singer who relied, however effectively, on vocal modulation to launch “New Rules” and its chorus into the anthemic stratosphere. And because “Don’t Start Now” is carefree and about being carefree, it starts in the middle of things, buoyant and effervescent, of course, because she’s not going back to the old ways, they’re not worth mentioning in detail, frankly, and she’s not going back to “the guy who tried to hurt [her] with the word goodbye,” she’s better now. The backdrop of “Don’t Start Now” is something like French bloghouse, which suits Dua Lipa, who’s somewhat of an expert on leaving shitty men, author of the covenant, as her low-ish register glides across Ian Kirkpatrick’s synths and electro-violin stabs and a wad of hollow, cowbell-like percussion that drops in a few times. It’s a romp, a dance party, whatever you like, whatever you do when you’re free from a nagging past.
Dua Lipa并不在意“Don’t Start Now（不要再重新开始）”，也不关心那个现在似乎突然开始关心她的坏前男友，因为她唱道：“so moved on it’s scary（放下吧，这一切太可怕了）”，这样的话，如果她愿意，至少她还可以和别人跳舞。在这首歌中，Dua Lipa的声音听起来比以往任何时候都更有力，风格逐渐自然地转向了花腔和装饰音，虽不像老牌流行天后Christina Aguilera的唱法那样戏剧化，但也比当代许多年轻歌手更浑厚明亮。通过声音的有效调节，“New Rules（新规则）”副歌部分极其欢快激情。“Don’t Start Now”的基调是无忧无虑的,歌曲从她与前男友恋情的中段开始叙述，十分轻快且令人兴奋，当然,因为她不会回到过去,所以关于这次恋爱的一些细节是不值得一提的，坦率地说,她不会回到“the guy who tried to hurt [her] with the word goodbye（这个喜欢用道别来让我心碎的男人）”身边，现在她好多了。“Don’t Start Now”的背景音很像French bloghouse，这种Funk色彩浓厚的曲风非常适合啪姐这种说一不二、手撕渣男的专家。在Ian Kirkpatrick的制作下，啪姐低沉迷人的音域与合成器、电小提琴完美、背景音乐时而的空白完美融合，还多次出现牛铃打击乐。在”Don’t Start Now“中，Dua Lipa为我们创造了一次狂欢，一场舞会，她表达了只要你摆脱了纠缠的过去，就可以做你想做，爱你所爱！
