Something's not right in Dua Lipa and Elton John's 'Cold Heart' While we’ve clearly found ourselves in the middle of a sticky situation when it comes to this song, there’s something else that the duo of singers is trying to tell us. Indeed, during the verse, John sings (via Genius), “It’s a human sign / When things go wrong / When the scent of her lingers / And temptation’s strong.” Things going wrong? Temptation? Oh my! That’s because the tune - which NPR claims is a “late contender to the song of the summer discourse” could be considered “almost a mad libs of pop music.” If that doesn’t make it clear, the outlet breaks it down a little more by noting that the song not only teams up “one of the greatest hitmakers of all time” and “pop’s current It Girl” as well as “a much-loved Australian dance music trio,” aka PNAU, but it also borrows from a range of John’s previous releases like “Rocket Man,” “Kiss the Bride,” “Sacrifice,” and “Where’s The Shoorah?”Īlthough this pretty much creates a fun game that prompts you to try to pick out lyrics from other hits, it doesn’t make the meaning any less poignant. When you listen to “Cold Heart” from Dua Lipa and Elton John - which, on August 13, was released with a music video that features carton versions of the stars - there’s a chance that something about it might seem familiar. 'Cold Heart' borrows from Elton John's catalogue Read on to find out that very thing! Although there’s a very good (and very cool) reason why there’s not exactly a straightforward and simple answer. While all of this should make it clear that this is a song that’s worth listening to (over and over again, TBH), you might also be wondering what it means.
