It is a dance-pop and piano house song that lyrically sees a couple who has found a kindred spirit, with one party also comforting the other. Several music critics commended Silk City's production as well as its lyrics. It won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards and appeared on year-end lists from publications including Billboard, The New York Times and Popjustice. The song reached number 4 and 62 respectively on the UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Hot 100, and has a platinum certification in both countries.

The music video for "Electricity" was directed by Bradley & Pablo, and is set during the Northeast blackout of 2003. In the video, Lipa throws a party in her loft, where she turns the power back on with her dance moves, while Ronson and Diplo get stuck in an elevator. Critics praised Lipa's performance in the video. The song was also accompanied by a vertical video and dance video. Silk City and Lipa promoted the song with numerous live performances, including ones at the American Music Awards of 2018, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. The song has received several remixes, including ones by the Black Madonna and MK.

Writing and production

edit

"Electricity" was written by Mark Ronson and Diplo of Silk City, Dua Lipa, Diana Gordon, Romy Madley Croft of The xx, Jr Blender, Jarami members Jacob Olofsson and Rami Dawod, and Maxime and Clément Picard. The song was produced by Silk City with Picard Brothers, Jarami, Riton, Alex Metric, and Blender handling additional production.[1] The song began as a project between Ronson and Diplo, intending for it to have a Chicago house and vintage US house vibe. The first thing they did in the studio was write piano lines before Diplo made a beat under it; however, they had trouble finding the direction of the sound, calling upon nearly a dozen friends for assistance. The song took over two months to complete, going from a club song to a radio song.[8][9][10]

Gordon came up with the melody, which jump-started the song, while Blender came up with the catchy chorus, which was unable to work for an entire song. Gordon ended up recording the melody in a demo. English singer Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine wrote and recorded an entire song to the record, called "Baptize", which demo leaked in 2020, but it did not fit, so they decided to keep her electricity concept and re-write it. Croft helped with the re-writes, writing the entire lead, and filling in some parts. After the many contributions, Diplo and Ronson were unsure of who they wanted to sing on it. They ultimately sent a demo to Lipa in November 2017, who expressed her admiration of it. Lipa ended up re-writing some parts and lowering the key to fit with her voice. She co-wrote the middle eight with Ronson. Ronson handled her vocal production and tracked her. The writers spent a lot of time perfecting the lyrics.[8][9][10][11]

Diplo and Ronson had trouble with the production as they are not inherently house producers. They asked Metric and Riton for help as they are "very current" with house music in the United Kingdom. Diplo and Ronson knew they needed Metric and Riton in order to be authentic. Metric and Riton helped them with the drums and the arrangement. The Picard Brothers created the bassline using an old 909 machine. Ronson made the track sound vintage while Diplo incorporated disparate genres.[8] Ronson tried the production several different ways, including having a band come into the studio and record it in a disco style. They ended up using this rendition as the song's outro. They accidentally played Gordon's demo in the lower key and decided to place it as an "answer" to Lipa's vocals. Gordon was not singing any lyrics in the demo so they had her re-record her vocals with the updated lyrics. They then slowed down her vocals.[10] The song was recorded in March 2018 at Zelig West Studios in Los Angeles and Lazer Sound Studios in Beachwood Canyon, Los Angeles.[1][11] Mixing was handled by Josh Gudwin at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles with Chris Gehringer mastering the song at Sterling Sound in New York City.[1]

4 time and the key of D minor, with a tempo of 118 beats per minute. It follows a chord progression of Dm–F–Dm–C, while the bridge adds additional B♭maj7 and Am7 chords.[2][19] The song additionally draws from Chicago house and 1990s music, and incorporates elements of disco-house, diva house and electropop genres.[20][21][22][23]

"Electricity" uses a retro-pop production,[24] that consists of house drums,[25] piano-driven beats,[26] a modern heavy-handed bassline, an electric groove,[27] Latin melodies, plunging synths, high pitched disco synth strings, slithering guitars,[26][28][29] and soulful house piano stabs.[13][30] The song also features a 1960s soul outro.[26] Lipa uses warped gospel house vocals, ranging one octave from A3 to A4, while also making use of belting.[19][24][25][14] Lyrically, the song documents a relationship where the two people feel as though they've found a kindred spirit, with one also comforting the other who has been through a traumatic relationship in the past.[31] It was also thought to be about self-love due to Lipa singing as though she is duetting with herself in the chorus.[32]

Release and promotion

Synopsis

edit
 
In the music video, Dua Lipa dances in a loft during the Northeast blackout of 2003, while Diplo and Mark Ronson get stuck in an elevator.

The visual is set during the Northeast blackout of 2003, opening with home-video style footage from the time, starting with sirens going off in the street, before a man mentions the blackout, and is cut off by a reporter talking about how the luminous skyscrapers are now shadows.[20][88] It then pans to Lipa listening to the radio in a dark New York City loft. She is noticeably sweaty, wearing red high-waisted bottoms, a white t-shirt tied around her chest, showing her abs, and layered necklaces, with blonde hair.[11][88][89] Lipa then takes a sip from a jug of water and leans back in a chair, before she begins to sing and dance, with choreography inspired by Flashdance (1983).[88][89] She gets up and twirls around her desk, while the lamps in the loft flicker as she heads for the refrigerator.

As Lipa dances, she kicks her legs up on a couch, eventually turning on the electricity with her dance moves, and drawing people in with her flickering lights and energy, beginning with two men. Ronson and Diplo are seen getting on an elevator and pushing the button, before the elevator shakes, and they get stuck. Lipa's party escalates to where a crowd of people, who shine their flashlights, join her in her now luminous loft. The video then fast-forwards to the next morning, where several people lie on the floor, with a woman playing the keyboards, and a man playing the drums. Lipa sits on a chair and opens her eyes.[11][88][89] The visual closes with another clip of Ronson and Diplo in the dark broken elevator, with Ronson using a flashlight.[83]

Reception

edit

The music video for "Electricity" was met with critical acclaim, with many praising Lipa's performance. In Billboard, John Ochoa viewed the video as "steamy" and commended Lipa for "tearing up a sweaty summer loft party."[20] For Refinery29, Courtney E. Smith praised Lipa for listening to her criticism for her lack of stage presence.[11] Ali Webb of L'Officiel complimented the video's "removal of literal electricity," allowing the "movement and connection to shine," while praising the "minimalism and maximalism, intimacy and emptiness" aesthetic. She concluded by calling it a reminder that "human connection is more powerful than any light."[89]

Stereogum's Tom Breihan labelled the loft "cavernous" and the dancers "attractive strangers."[21] Writing for Spin, Isabella Castro-Cota stated Lipa is "quite literally electric."[90] In his review for MTV, Patrick Hoksen complimented Lipa's newly blonde hair and thought that she "steals the video."[91] Sarah Brown of Soundigest viewed the "Electricity" video as a "burst of energy" and "trilling," as well as praising Ronson and Diplo's "comedic" cameo appearance.[88] The video was nominated for the MTV Video Music Award for Best Dance Video at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.[92]

The stage was designed as a dimly lit urban loft studio, where Lipa performed with a dance team.[101] Two days later, she performed it on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, backed by a bassist, a keyboardist, a drummer and two backup singers.[102] She wore a sparkly silver dress, and danced bare foot.[23] Lipa performed "Electricity" with Kylie Minogue on 27 November 2020 in her livestream concert, Studio 2054.[103] Lipa also included the song on the setlist of her 2022 Future Nostalgia Tour.[104]
