[Verse 1]
Pressure buildin', put that on me
Time to finish what we started
Give me what I always wanted
Mirror, mirror, tell me something

[Pre-Chorus]
You been holdin' on and on for way too long
The beat is heated up, the bass go boom
You been workin' double time to catch your breath
The tempo speeded up but don't stop yet

[Chorus]
You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (Let it go, yeah)
Baby, you in control
You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (Let it go, yeah)
Baby, you in control

[Verse 2]
Don't stop, keep it goin'
Lights on, lights off, I'm still glowin'
Confidence I'm overflowin'
Voices tell me, "Keep your focus"

[Pre-Chorus]
You been holdin' on and on for way too long
The beat is heated up, the bass go boom
You been workin' double time to catch your breath
The tempo speeded up but don't stop yet

[Chorus]
You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (Let it go, yeah)
Baby, you in control
You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go (Let it go, yeah)
Baby, you in control

[Bridge]
Watch me do it, watch me own it
I know I got it
Keep on movin', keep on goin'
'Cause if you want it

[Chorus]
You need to, you need to exhale
So let everything go
Baby, you in control
You need to, you need to exhale (Breathe)
So let everything go (Breathe, yeah)
Baby, you in control

[Outro]
You need to, you need to exhale

Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa is a British singer-songwriter.

Born in London on August 22, 1995, she is the daughter of Albanian rock artist Dukagjin Lipa. She moved to Kosovo at the age of 11 before returning to the UK at age 15 to attend Sylvia Young Theatre School part-time. Posting covers of artists such as Nelly Furtado, Chance The Rapper and Rihanna, she signed to Warner Records (Vertigo/Captiol for Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and released her debut single, “New Love.” Its follow-up, “Be The One,” became her breakthrough single in mainland Europe. She was also shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2016 list and was nominated for the prestigious BRITs Critics Choice Award.

In 2016, she broke through in the UK with “Hotter Than Hell,” and scored her first Billboard Hot 100-charting single with “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).” Collaborations with Martin Garrix and Sean Paul on their worldwide hits “Scared to Be Lonely” and “No Lie”“ followed in 2017. Her self-titled debut album was released on June 2, debuting at #5 on the UK Album Charts and at #86 on the Billboard 200 and receiving positive reviews from critics, many praising Dua Lipa’s vocals and confidence. The album’s sixth single, “New Rules,” became a worldwide hit, topping the charts in the UK and remaining in the top 5 for 10 consecutive weeks. In early 2018, “IDGAF” was released to similar success, while Dua won two BRIT Awards, including Best Breakthrough Act. She saw continued success with her Calvin Harris collaboration, “One Kiss,” and closed out the year with a Complete Edition reissue of her album.
