"Future Nostalgia" is a song by English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her second studio album of the same name (2020), included as the album's opening track. The song was written by Lipa, Clarence Coffee Jr. and its producer Jeff Bhasker. Intended to be "playful and fun," it is a synth-pop song that contains elements of disco, funk, hip pop, house and 1980s music. The lyrics discuss themes of feminism and self-reflection with Lipa referring to herself as a "female alpha".
"Future Nostalgia" was released for digital download and streaming on 13 December 2019 through Warner Records as the album's promotional single. An accompanying lyric video premiered on YouTube three days later, and it features Lipa dancing and using a golf club in a retro house. A remix of the song by Joe Goddard appears on Lipa and the Blessed Madonna's remix album, Club Future Nostalgia (2020). Lipa promoted the song with a performance at her Studio 2054 livestream concert.
Several music critics complimented the throwback yet futuristic sound and experimental nature of "Future Nostalgia". Some also found Lipa's confident attitude and the song's sassy lyrics appealing. The song placed on year-end lists published by the Official Charts Company, Popjustice and Vulture. It entered official charts in Australia, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia and Spain, while also charting on component charts in New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
