Lipa discovered she had been nominated for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media for Dance The Night from the Barbie soundtrack on 10 November, the same day she released her latest single Houdini.

She gave The Hollywood Reporter’s Award Chatter podcast the lowdown, “I got a text from a friend who was like, ‘Did you know that you just got nominated for two Grammys for Dance The Night?’ I was already on such a high because I had just released my new single, Houdini, and that was just absolutely flying and then I get this news and I was just absolutely in a massive whirlwind, I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing.”

She added, “I was just so happy to be nominated, especially for a song that means so much to me. I just feel like it’s such a big part of me.”

Lipa, who has previously won three Grammys, is competing against three other Barbie tracks for the Best Song Written for Visual Media prize. The movie soundtrack accounts for four of the five entries thanks to I’m Just Ken by Ryan Gosling, Barbie World by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, and What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish.

The 2024 Grammys will take place on 4 February at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Lipa recently released the massive hit single Houdini, written by Lipa, Tobias Jesso Jr, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and PC Music’s Danny L Harle, and produced by Parker and Harle. In a statement,she said “Houdini” “embodies that 4 a.m. feeling when the night is coming to a close and you’re a bit sweaty, but you just don’t want the party to end.”
