Paroles
If you don't wanna see me
Did a full 180, crazy
Thinking 'bout the way I was
Did the heartbreak change me? Maybe
But look at where I ended up
I'm all good already
So moved on, it's scary
I'm not where you left me at all, so
If you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
Don't show up, don't come out
Don't start caring about me now
Walk away, you know how
Don't start caring about me now
Aren't you the guy who tried to
Hurt me with the word "goodbye"?
Though it took some time to survive you
I'm better on the other side
I'm all good already
So moved on, it's scary
I'm not where you left me at all, so
If you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
(Don't, don't, don't)
Don't show up, don't come out
Don't start caring about me now
Walk away, you know how
Don't start caring about me now ('Bout me now, 'bout me)
Up, up
Don't come out, out, out
Don't show up, up, up
Don't start now (Oh)
Up, up
Don't come out, out
I'm not where you left me at all, so
If you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody
If you wanna believe that anything could stop me
Don't show up (Don't show up), don't come out (Don't come out)
Don't start caring about me now ('Bout me now)
Walk away (Walk away), you know how (You know how)
Don't start caring about me now (So)
Up, up
Don't come out, out, out
Don't show up, up, up
Walk away, walk away (So)
Up, up
Don't come out, out, out
Don't show up, up, up
Walk away, walk away, oh
Explication de la chanson
La chanson "Don't Start Now" de Dua Lipa aborde le thème de la force et de l'émancipation après une rupture amoureuse. Dans les paroles, l'artiste s'adresse à un ancien partenaire, lui affirmant qu'elle a surmonté la douleur de leur séparation et qu'elle est désormais prête à avancer. Elle met en avant sa confiance en elle et sa détermination à ne pas retomber dans une relation toxique. Le message central est clair : il ne faut pas revenir en arrière et laisser le passé influencer son bonheur. La musique, entraînante et dansante, renforce ce sentiment d'affirmation et de libération. En somme, "Don't Start Now" est un hymne à l'autonomie et à la résilience, encourageant chacun à se reconstruire et à ne pas se laisser abattre par des relations passées.
