"Be the One" is a song by English
singer Dua Lipa from her
eponymous debut studio album(2017).
The song was written by Lucy Taylor, Jack Tarrant and Digital Farm
Animals, with the latter of the three also handling
the production. They
wrote it about a relationship that Taylor was in and gave the song to Lipa, who
was originally reluctant to record it due to the writing credits. It
is a dream pop, Europop and synth-pop song
with elements of gospel and power pop. Lyrically, it sees Lipa begging
her boyfriend for a romantic redemption. The song
was met with critical acclaim, with many music critics hailing it a standout on the album and praising the anthemic
qualities in the production.
Released through Dua Lipa Limited for digital download and streaming on 30 October
2015, "Be the One" received limited attention at the time as it was
only intended to be promoted on blogs and online outlets. However, after being
picked up by German radio stations, it
became a sleeper hit the
following year. Due
to this success, the song was re-released on 6 December 2016, being promoted in
the United Kingdom and the United States. It reached the top ten of charts in
nine territories worldwide, including the Flanders region of Belgium where it
reached the summit and Lipa's native region of the United Kingdom, where it
peaked at number nine becoming her first solo top 10 single. The song is
currently certified gold or higher in eleven regions, including a double
platinum in the UK.
The music video for "Be the One" was directed by Nicole Nodland. It features several scenes of
Lipa in London.
With the song's re-release, a second music video was released. Directed
by Daniel
Kaufman, it stars Ansel Elgort as
Lipa's love interest and was created in a collaboration between Vevo and Lexus, where a Lexus IS covered
in LEDs appears. The video features Elgort following Lipa out of a motel after the two
had an argument. Lipa promoted the song with numerous live
performances, including ones for Jimmy Kimmel Live!,
Good Morning
America, and Later... with
Jools Holland. Remixes by Paul Woolford,
Take a Daytrip and Netsky were also released for promotion.
