"Homesick" is a song by English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her eponymous debut studio album (2017). The song was written by Lipa and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who also contributes additional vocals. Martin's engineer Bill Rahko handled the production. The song was released by Warner Bros. Records for digital download and streaming on 1 December 2017 as the album's third promotional single. A week later, it was promoted to top 40 and adult contemporary radio formats in Belgium and the Netherlands.
"Homesick" is a piano ballad with its lyrics addressing being away from loved ones. Music critics complimented Lipa's vocals and its lyrics, but some thought the idea of a piano ballad felt forced. The song charted at number 12 in the Flanders region of Belgium and number 14 in the Netherlands. It was awarded a gold certification in Belgium and a silver certification in the United Kingdom. The song was promoted with performances on Later... with Jools Holland, Saturday Night Live and at the LOS40 Music Awards 2018.
