Tomorrow, Aug. 22, marks Dua Lipa‘s birthday, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to reflect on the music that made her the icon she is today.
The English artist made a name for herself turning every emotion info dancefloor-ready anthems, capturing the breadth of her human experience in the form of irresistibly catchy tunes. Chances are that you already have a favorite track, but is it also the one that best suits your personality and the qualities of your zodiac sign? Scroll down to yours below to find out.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): ‘IDGAF’
Aries has a reputation for their bold, don’t-care attitudes, captured beautifully in the smooth pop track “IDGAF.” The song sees Dua fully shutting the door on an ex who thinks they can waltz back into her life after hurting her, making the reality of the situation absolutely clear. She’s unbothered and done with excuses, with zero patience toward anyone who’s ever wasted her time—much like brash and impulsive Aries.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): ‘Don’t Start Now’
Taurus is a sign known for its steady assurance and stability even under pressure, and those are precisely the traits Dua exhibits in “Don’t Start Now.” Driven by pulsing bassline, the song shows her confidently moving forward after a breakup, refusing to let her ex derail the progress she’s made. Taurus is as grounded and reliable as they come, with unshakeable personalities. They’re far too stubborn to allow themselves to get pulled off course.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): ‘Levitating’
Airy Gemini is known for being sociable, quick-moving and flirtatious, perfectly matching the energy of the light and breezy hit “Levitating” featuring DaBaby. The track feels completely carefree as Dua floats on the easy weightlessness of a new connection that makes the two feel like they’re floating beyond reality. Gemini is focused on fun and living in the moment, and that’s the ethos of the song.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): ‘Love Again’
As a water sign, Cancer feels everything deeply, to the point that they can develop hard exteriors to protect their hearts. “Love Again” is a funky and soulful track that reflects their journey well as Dua leans to open her heart back up after being hurt, leaning into hope and vulnerability, even if it means she may fall again. It’s a message that resonates deeply with Cancer, encouraging them to embrace optimism and try again.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): ‘Physical’
Leo is as fearless and dramatic as they come, craving the spotlight, and that’s precisely the impression we get from “Physical.” The uptempo ’80s-infused synth-pop track drips with confidence as Dua sings about giving into chemistry and building something larger than life with the one who’s caught your eye. After all, Leo doesn’t mind sharing the attention when two can be the star of the show.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22): ‘Training Session’
Detail-oriented and perfectionistic Virgo never acts without careful consideration, and neither does Dua Lipa in “Training Day.” The disco-pop track sees her evaluating a potential partner, wondering if they’ve got what it takes to love her the way she deserves. She’s not going to settle for any less and waste her time—and insisting on vetting a partner is very on brand for the sign.

Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22): ‘Break My Heart’
Libra has a reputation for being indecisive, but it’s only because they value balance and rightness so highly. They’re constantly weighing the pros and cons before committing to something, much like Dua Lipa in “Break My Heart.” The vibrant dance-pop track has her falling in love with someone special, but finding herself holding back as she weights the risk of potentially losing them. Libra can learn a thing or two from her choice as she decides to go for it regardless.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21): ‘Illusion’
Scorpios may be mysterious and hard to read on occasion, but they’re also emotionally insightful, and they can detect a lie from a mile away. That’s why we associate them with “Illusion,” a thrilling dance track about being able to see right through someone. While everyone else might be swayed by their false charms, she can’t be fooled by falseness on her quest to find the real deal. That sharpness is typical of Scorpio and the strength of their perception.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): ‘Houdini’
Independent and adventurous Sagittarius can’t be pinned down, and neither can Dua in her disco-pop hit “Houdini.” In this song, she practically begs someone to actually chase after her and prove they can keep up, because she refuses to settle for anyone who’s not on her level. It showcases Sagittarius’s love of freedom, but openness to romance on the rare chance the other person won’t cramp their style.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): ‘New Rules’
Capricorn is a no-nonsense sign that values structure and restraint. They’re also the ultimate rule-followers, so it only makes sense that their Dua Lipa track of choice would be “New Rules.” The viral tropical pop track sees her setting up firm boundaries, defining the literal rules for herself so that she won’t fall into an unhealthy pattern with someone who’s wrong for her. Capricorn is disciplined and practical enough to stick to the game plan, even if their heart threatens to pull them in another direction.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): ‘Boys Will Be Boys’
Aquarius is often said to be the humanitarian of the zodiac, obsessed with fairness and justice, and willing to challenge rules that don’t make sense. The stirring and orchestral “Boys Will Be Boys” comes from a similar mindset, with Dua pushing back against outdated double-standards that excuse men’s bad behavior while harshly criticizing every innocuous thing women do. Like the sign, it’s a socially conscious approach to an important issue, highlighting the hypocrisy in a way that will make people notice and act.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): ‘Hallucinate’
And finally, we feel like the disco-house bop “Hallucinate” might have been written just for dreamy, emotional and imaginative Pisces. It’s a song about being so consumed with love that it feels like it might be a fantasy, blurring the very thin line between reality and infatuation. Pisces falls fast and hard, and this euphoric take captures their otherworldly perspective on romance.
