Unexpected: But one lucky person got to listen to the new song early after being surprised by Dua and Greg James outside the BBC studios for his BBC Radio 1 show

Dua looked typically stylish in a blue collared shirt and black jeans, under a black leather trench coat.

She elevated her height in a pair of black high heeled boots and added a gold cross pendant necklace and matching hoop earrings.

The Grammy winner hid her eyes behind a pair of black sunglasses but stood out with her bright red newly-dyed tresses.

Once she and Greg had chosen their unsuspecting passerby, they jumped up and ran over to man.

Immediately the trio were surrounded by BBC staff wearing hi-vis vests, who swung colourful flags.

One staff member even dangled a glittering disco ball from a stepstool, while others held up a sign that read: ‘Congratulations, you are the first person to hear Dua Lipa’s brand new song’.

Dua and Greg could be seen to be giggling as they let the lucky man listen to the song through headphones.

Passersby could not help but notice the spectacle and many took photos that they shared on social media.

Fans expressed their jealousy of the lucky individual who got to meet Dua and hear the song, while others praised the singer on her marketing.

One person wrote: ‘Wasn’t expecting to see Dua Lipa when I popped out of the office for a coffee…’

Another complained: ‘I’ve never been this jealous of anyone in my lifeeee’ while a third echoed: ‘Should’ve been me’.

Someone else added: ‘She is so real for that’ while a fifth wrote: ‘dua knew if she leaked her song first then leakers cant leak it’.

A sixth fan praised: ‘she looks so stunning oh my god’ and a seventh penned: ‘The whole setup… I love her’.

Dua’s new song marks her first new solo music since her 2020 Future Nostalgia record.

She has since dropped collaborative songs, including her hit feature Dance the Night Away written for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie.

The pop star is reportedly putting the finishing touches to her ‘really personal third album’.

Dua has spent hundreds of hours in the recording studio in between sections of her world tour.

She hopes to release new music before the end of 2023 and her record company bosses are desperately trying to ensure recordings for the highly-anticipated LP are secure after a song she previously worked on with Pharrell Williams was leaked.

A music insider told The Sun: ‘Dua’s third album is really personal to her and she has been hands on at every turn.

‘She has spent hundreds of hours in the studio and has written on every song — that is really important to her.

‘Dua has been very clear about her direction in keeping it upbeat and fun, but she will be a lot more revealing in her lyrics.

The source also hinted at collaborations in the album as ‘talented artists’ have been asking to work with her.

Speaking last month to the publication, Dua said: ‘It has a lyrical theme, more so than sonically.

‘There’s still a sonic element as you go through it, it’s still pop. I still want to dance and do another crazy tour. It’s a bit more mature [than Future Nostalgia] I think in terms of the experiences.’

Future Nostalgia won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2021 and its lead single Don’t Start Now attained critical success, including Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

Envious: Fans expressed their jealousy of the lucky individual who got to meet Dua and hear the song, while others praised the singer on her marketing.
