Dua released the video for “New Rules” earlier this summer with an overwhelming response from fans and the press alike. Buzzfeed declared ““New Rules," is not only your new summer anthem but also the video is a cinematic masterpiece” and PAPER raved “we’re in love with her self-empowered summer vibes.”
The response from fans inspired Dua to call on them to upload covers and lip syncs of “New Rules” online, tagging #DuasNewRules, resulting in a collaboration video showcasing how the song has connected Dua with her fans.
