New Rules


"New Rules" is an electropop and tropical house track by Dua Lipa, released in 2017 as the seventh single from her debut album "Dua Lipa (Deluxe)." Written by Caroline Ailin, Emily Warren, and Ian Kirkpatrick, the song blends EDM production with dance-pop beats and dancehall rhythms. For electric guitar players, it offers an interesting study in how melodic pop hooks can be adapted from synth-driven arrangements, making it a rewarding challenge to reinterpret on guitar.

  • The track was produced by Ian Kirkpatrick, who initially offered it to other artists before Dua Lipa recorded it.
  • "New Rules" combines electropop, tropical house, and dancehall rhythms — diverse influences worth exploring when arranging for guitar.
  • Released on 7 July 2017 via Warner Bros. Records, it became one of the standout singles from Dua Lipa's debut album.

Fender Stratocaster

Session guitarists on Dua Lipa's records use Stratocasters for their versatile single-coil clarity and articulation in synth-heavy production. The guitar's responsive dynamics capture subtle rhythmic feel while maintaining definition through dense layered arrangements.

The Telecaster's bright, cutting single-coil tone is ideal for Dua Lipa's sessions, providing definition without muddiness when paired with synth layers. Its articulate character ensures guitar sits clearly in the mix while preserving frequency space for other instruments.
