Empowerment and Moving On: The Anthem of Self-Renewal

Dua Lipa's song "Don’t Start Now (Regard Remix)" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics reflect a journey of transformation and self-discovery, where the protagonist has undergone a significant change, symbolized by the phrase "Did a full 180." This indicates a complete turnaround from the person she used to be, suggesting that the heartbreak she experienced has led to personal growth and newfound strength.

The chorus, with lines like "Don't show up, don't come out, don't start caring about me now," serves as a bold declaration of independence. The protagonist is addressing her former lover, making it clear that she has moved on and does not need their concern or presence in her life anymore. This sentiment is further emphasized by the repeated assertion that she is "all good already" and has moved on to a point where it's "scary." The use of the word "scary" here highlights the extent of her transformation and how far she has come from the person she was when the relationship ended.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and self-worth. The protagonist acknowledges the pain caused by the breakup but emphasizes that she has come out stronger on the other side. The line "Though it took some time to survive you, I'm better on the other side" encapsulates this journey of healing and self-improvement. The upbeat tempo and danceable rhythm of the remix add to the sense of liberation and joy that comes with reclaiming one's life and moving forward.
