How perfect can a collab get? Take one cool girl (Dua Lipa, everyone's favourite British cool girl pop star), then take a cool girl group (Blackpink, K-pop's coolest), and you're bound to get sizzling hot pop song. (Can you tell that our expectations for the Dua Lipa and Blackpink song are sky-high?)
Dua Lipa and Blackpink Song: What We Know About the Mystery Track
The "New Rules" singer is set to re-release her self-titled debut album on October 19, and she just tweeted the tracklist of the extended version of the album.

In May, Blackpink members Jennie and Lisa actually met Dua Lipa after attending her concert in Seoul. That could very well have marked the beginning of this beautiful gift from the pop gods.
Twitter, as expected, went a little cray at the news of the Dua Lipa and Blackpink song.

Dua Lipa + Black Pink = Rapture — Glaiza de Castro (@glaizaredux) September 4, 2018
After seeing the internet blow up after her tweet, Dua shared that she has mixed feelings about the re-release of her album, as it's an end of an era.
I’m so happy that you guys are happy! I was very excited about thissss but also sad bc it’s coming to an end. But also happy bc new music and new era!! ????? — DUA LIPA (@DUALIPA) September 4, 2018
We totally get where she's coming from, but the sooner we hear the Dua Lipa and Blackpink song, the better.
