“New Rules (Acoustic)” – Dua Lipa

Although British singer Dua Lipa released her charting single, “New Rules,” on July 21, she only released the acoustic version of the song later last month, on Oct. 20. The song’s repetitive but catchy lyrics are directed at people getting over hard break-ups, reminding them not to give into temptation. Despite the relatively serious lyrics, the acoustic version uses guitar and drums to create a softer version of the dance music in the original.
