Dua Lipa made a surprise appearance at the ACM Awards to perform a duet with Chris Stapleton. Now the duo’s “Think I’m In Love With You” has officially dropped on streaming services as fans clamber for other mixes.
Both artists confirmed the arrival of the live single on social media today. Dua Lipa revealed after her performance that the whole thing was her idea because she’s a huge fan of Chris. “I’m such a fan of Chris and I just reached out and said, ‘want to do something together?’ and this came about,” she told Bobby Bones about the performance.
Following the success of the duet, Dua Lipa shared how the singer’s teams were able to keep everything a secret. “Lots of zip-up hoodies and running in and out of the arena,” she confirmed. “We were all so in on making sure this stays a surprise to make the moment even more special. I don’t know how we did it, I’m glad we did it because it’s really special when it happened tonight on stage.”
Chris Stapleton won Male Artist of the Year and Album of the Year awards at the 59th annual ACM Awards. Dua Lipa says her time spent with Stapleton working on the performance was some of the best of her career. “It’s just one of those moments in my life where I’m so happy to be a musician and to be creating something and doing something that feels so exciting,” she told Billboard.
“I think she threw herself into the mix,” Chris Stapleton said of his time working together with Dua Lipa on the collaboration. “We got on the phone and talked about it and worked on it a little bit. We really only kind of put together what we did like two days ago—it was kind of a whirlwind thing to do—but it was awesome.”
