Pretty Please (song)

"Pretty Please" is a song by English singer Dua Lipa from her second studio album, Future Nostalgia, released on 27 March 2020. The song was written by Lipa alongside Julia Michaels, Caroline Ailin and the sole producer Ian Kirkpatrick. It was created by the writing team during studio sessions, taking shape from the bassline and title. It is a disco-pop, electro-R&B and funk song with a stripped-back production driven by a funky bass. The song has a chill sound, however its meaning is the opposite; in the lyrics, Lipa pleas for stress relief from her lover after promising she will be chill at the beginning of a relationship, before realizing that is unlike her. Several critics commended the production and lyrics.

Commercially, "Pretty Please" reached numbers 48, 79 and 101 respectively in Lithuania, Slovakia and Portugal, while also charting at number 70 on the UK Official Audio Streaming Chart. The song was awarded a gold certification in Canada from Music Canada. Remixes by Masters at Work and Midland were released on Lipa and the Blessed Madonna's remix album, Club Future Nostalgia. Lipa promoted the song with numerous live performances, including ones at the FIFA 21 world premiere, the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party and the 2021 Brit Awards. A video of Lipa performing the song at Lovestream Festival in 2022 went viral on social media that same year.
