Dua Lipahas “New Rules” for when it comes to breakups.
The pop superstar, 28, opened up inRolling Stone’s February cover storyabout a recent breakup and what she learned from the experience. In the interview published on Tuesday, the Grammy winner explained that ending a relationship without any animosity “taught [her] a lot.”
The “Houdini” artist shared that it was a “new” experience for her — and a pleasant one at that — to end a relationship on good terms. “I think I’ve had breakups in my life where I felt like the only kind of breakup you could have was when things just ended really badly,” Lipa said. “Things ending in a nice way was such a new thing … It taught me a lot.”

The singer-songwriter opened up about how the healthy breakup she went through inspired one of her favorite tracks on her upcoming album. Although the song title and its release date was kept under wraps, it’s said to be about feeling mature and in a healthy place as an ex moves on.
On the track, the “Levitating” artist reportedly sings. “I must have loved you more than I ever knew … I’m not mad/I’m not hurt/You got everything you deserve.”
“When you have a feeling like that one, you feel really grown because you’re like, ‘Oh, whoa, I’m such an evolved human being that I can see my ex move on and feel good about it,’” Lipa said of the sentiments explored on the new song.

“A lot of people wish their singledom away looking for someone else, but I think the whole point of spending that time alone is to really figure out what you need, and who you are in the silence and who you are without someone," the recording artist said. “That’s the best bit, and then, of course, just enjoying your girl time or whatever it is.”
