Track Description
Available in:
"Be the One" is a song recorded by English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa for her eponymous debut studio album (2017). The song was written by Lucy Taylor, Jack Tarrant and Digital Farm Animals, with the latter of the three also handling the production. They wrote it about a relationship that Taylor was in and gave the song to Lipa, who was originally reluctant to record it due to the writing credits. It is a dream pop, Europop and synth-pop song with elements of gospel and power pop. Lyrically, it sees Lipa begging her boyfriend for a romantic redemption. The song received acclaim from music critics, with many hailing it as a standout on the album and praising the anthemic qualities in the production.

Released through Dua Lipa Limited for digital download and streaming on 30 October 2015, "Be the One" received limited attention at the time as it was only intended to be promoted on blogs and online outlets. However, after being picked up by German radio stations, it became a sleeper hit the following year. Due to this success, the song was re-released on 6 December 2016, being promoted in the United Kingdom and the United States. It reached the top ten of charts in nine territories worldwide, including the Flanders region of Belgium where it reached the summit and Lipa's native region of the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number nine becoming her first solo top 10 single. The song is currently certified gold or higher in eleven regions, including a double platinum in the UK.

The second music video for "Be the One" was released through Vevo on 5 December 2016, in promotion of the song's re-release. It was directed by Daniel Kaufman and stars Ansel Elgort as Lipa's love interest. The video was made as a collaboration between Lexus and Vevo, and features a Lexus IS wrapped in 41,999 LEDs, which generates visuals based on the song. It was created after Lipa noticed fans asking her on social media for a second video to be shot. With it, Lipa wanted to show the darker side of the song, showing its themes of miscommunication in a relationship. The video begins with Lipa and Elgort having an argument in a neon-lit motel room, followed by Lipa storming out while Elgort follows. Elgort follows Lipa down an empty motorway, where flashback scenes are shown. The video concludes with Elgort catching up to Lipa, where she eventually escapes in the Lexus IS. For V, William Defebaugh named the music video "futuristic".
