"Last Dance" is a song by English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her eponymous debut studio album (2017). The song was written by Lipa, Talay Riley and its producer Stephen "Koz" Kozmeniuk. The song was released for digital download and streaming on 9 February 2016 through Dua Lipa Limited, after having premiered on BBC Radio 1 a day earlier. It is a chillwave, dance-pop and post-EDM song that features a contemporary dance-heavy production. Lipa was inspired by being tired and homesick, and lyrically, she sings about a relationship that could crash at any second.
"Last Dance" received acclaim from music critics, with many praising Lipa's vocals. The song peaked at number four on Billboard's Twitter Emerging Artists chart. An accompanying music video premiered via YouTube on 18 February 2016. It was directed and produced by both Jon Brewer and Ian Blair, and was filmed in California's rainforests. The song appeared in an advert for Lipa's campaign with Jaguar Cars and was promoted by her with numerous live performances in 2016, mainly on her Hotter than Hell Tour.
