Hey, I'm Dua Lipa, and I'm doing the WIRED Autocomplete interview.

So that's why it probably sounds a bit weird to everyone.

I guess I'd have to be all of them, really, in some capacity.

The first song that I put out was called New Love.

Oh my god, when I look back on that video, it's so crazy.

Maybe this should be my New Year's resolution, is learn Spanish.

How do I say this in the best way possible?

I'm like, can you say honorary Liverpool supporter?

Only because my dad and brother support Arsenal, and I think I'd be getting in a lot of trouble if I said that I just support Liverpool, but I love Liverpool.

It's always got a special place in my heart.

It's the cutest. I'm just obsessed with it.

I don't play guitar, but I used to play the cello in school, and then I got bullied about it a lot, and so I quit, and now I can't play anything.

Bit of a long story, but I'll try and shorten it a little bit.

When I was young, I always wanted to make music.

I started making YouTube covers, and I started showing them to my friends in school, and then I used them as a form of portfolio so that I could work with different producers and get in the studio, and I was like, you know, I sing, and I would love it if we could get in the studio and write together.

I made a bunch of demos, and then I basically Googled managers in London, and then I got offered a publishing deal.

Then I had to find a lawyer, and then the lawyer was trying to help me and was like, don't sign this publishing deal, whatever you do, let me help you find a manager, and he introduced me to my manager, Ben, and so that was a really, really long story.

I feel like it was really difficult for lots of teachers and people to pronounce it.

Five foot eight, and my feet size six UK.

On occasion, a lot of it is bought and glued in. That's quite easy,

I feel like anyone could do that, but other than that,

It was really, I'd spent so much time away from London, and then it started pouring with rain in Los Angeles, and it just made me miss London so much.

That's what homesick was about, was trying to get back home.

I'm a Leo, but I'm also a Libra rising, and a Cancer moon, so I'm emotional as f**k.

But then really tough, so don't mess with me.

It's about love feeling so electric, and completely sending these electric messages all up and down your spine, and the feeling that you get when you're falling in love.

It's a fun song. This was really a kind of turning point for me in terms of confidence when I shot the music video for electricity.

For the first time I was in front of cameras,

I was very much in the zone, and I didn't really care what anybody was thinking,

I kind of let it all out, and that song will always kind of represent that for me.

I made that with my friends Mark Ronson and Diplo, so it's always more special when you get to do stuff with your mates.

Otherwise I have no idea what I'm doing here.

I actually passed my driving test the first time.

I would always get public transport, but I do really love the freedom of just getting in your car and going wherever you want.

That's where I like to rap, because I hate singing at karaoke, so I like to rap.

I definitely have such a low voice, so I've always struggled with high notes, but I have been practicing and working with my vocal coach to be able to just expand my range and learn some new stuff.

I have a younger brother and a younger sister.

My sister is called Reena and my brother is called Jin and they are the loves of my life.
