Houdini  ”Houdini” is the first single from Dua Lipa’s third studio album. The track kickstarted Dua’s new era and was first alluded to on October 27 2023 - after deleting all of her Instagram posts, Dua posted a cryptic teaser on social media of her mouth holding a small golden key between her teeth, paired with the caption “catch me or I go…” The post was deleted two days later and the singer shared a new video instead of it. It portrayed Dua with the key now inside of her mouth with the caption “I’m not here for long.” It provided the first glimpse at the song’s sound, with a snippet of the song playing in the background. On October 31, the teaser was also deleted and yet another teaser video with a snippet was posted. The last frames of the video showed the numbers “4 8 9 9 14 15 21.” Soon enough fans figured out the numbers converted to the alphabet letters “D H I I N O U,” which when rearranged spelled out the song’s title. The song’s release date marks the anniversary of Harry Houdini’s death, the famous illusionist noted for his escape acts. Another allusion to Houdini’s escape acts is the key seen in Dua’s mouth in all of the teasers, as the magician’s wife would frequently give him the key to his handcuffs through a kiss. Having said all that (and all that aside) .. I just think it’s a kick as* song that’s perfect for a Sunday afternoon workout. Tell me all the ways you need me I’m not here for long Catch me or I go Houdini I come and I go Prove you got the right to please me Everybody knows Catch me or I go Houdini Time is passin’ like a solar eclipse See you watchin’ and you blow me a kiss It’s your moment baby, don’t let it slip Come in closer, are you readin’ my lips? They say I come and I go Tell me all the ways you need me I’m not here for long Catch me or I go Houdini I come and I go Prove you got the right to please me Everybody knows Catch me or I go Houdini If you’re good enough, you’ll find the way Maybe you could cause a girl to change (her ways) Do you think about it night and day? Maybe you could be the one to make me stay Everything you say is soundin’ so sweet But do you practice everything that you preach? Tell me something that I’ll really believe If you got it baby give it to me They say I come and I go Tell me all the ways you need me I’m not here for long Catch me or I go Houdini I come and I go Prove you got the right to please me Everybody knows Catch me or I go Houdini If you’re good enough you’ll find the way Maybe you could cause a girl to change (her ways) Do you think about it night and day? Maybe you could be the one to make me stay I come and I go Tell me all the ways you need me I’m not here for long Catch me or I go Houdini I come and I go Prove you got the right to please me Everybody knows Catch me or I go Houdini Houdini Catch me or I go Houdini Dua Lipa |
