Dua Lipa and Elton John have collaborated on a new track together.

John featured on Lipa’s ‘Studio 2054’ livestream, which aired last November, and the <em>Future Nostalgia</em> star headlined the legendary musician’s AIDS Foundation Oscars pre-party.

Taking to social media today (August 11), Lipa announced that her new single with John will arrive this Friday (August 13). It’s called “Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)”.

A preview of the song, which you can listen to below, begins with John on vocals singing “Sacrifice” over a disco-heavy track.

Lipa then goes on to quote lyrics from John’s “Rocket Man” as she sings: “And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time/ ‘Til touchdown brings me ’round again to find.”

“I am so excited to finally be able to tell you all that I have a new single with Dua Lipa ‘Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)’ coming out this Friday!” John wrote to announce the collaboration.

“Dua, I adore you, and it has been an incredible experience making this together. I can’t wait for you all to hear it!”

Responding in the comments section, Lipa wrote “I love you! I’m so excited” before posting the news to Instagram.

Dua Lipa’s song “Levitating” has been nominated for a 2021 MTV Video Music Award. It’s in the Song of the Year category alongside “Leave The Door Open” by Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak and Silk Sonic; “Dynamite” by BTS; and Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license”.

The 2021 VMAs will return to New York City, airing from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Sept. 12. The show will simulcast across CMT, Comedy Central, Logo, MTV2, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, Pop, TV Land, VH1 and The CW Network.
