Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion have announced their first-ever collaboration.
Little is known about the new single, except that it's actually due to drop this week.
Taking to Twitter, rapper Megan shared a cake-themed promotional image featuring the two, revealing that the song will actually drop this Friday (March 11).
It will be both Dua and Megan's first original release of 2022, as well as the first single since Dua left her long-time management, TaP Music, earlier this month. See the teaser announcement below.
Last year Dua gained her third UK Number 1 single, Cold Heart (Pnau Remix) with Elton John. She's also begun work on her third studio album - the follow-up to the UK Number 1 record Future Nostalgia.
But Dua has already warned fans not to expect a return to the throwback, post-disco influenced sound of the album. In fact, she's already hinted the new LP is "probably not what my fans want to hear."
As for Megan, this new single could be a taster of her follow-up to debut record Good News, which was released in 2020 following the break-out success of Number 1 single WAP with Cardi B. See Megan's Official Charts history in full here.

Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa unite to bring their fans a hot girl anthem for 2022, and the music video serves supernatural wickedness.Directed by Dave Meyers and produced by Freenjoy, the video features the 27-year-old rapper and 26-year-old singer as the stunning divas they are with an arachnid twist. When two men wander into a mystical forest, they find the duo's lair hidden amongst trees shaped like women's bodies, and they lure them into their fantastical abode.Of course, once they've been ensnared by the gorgeous women and their delicious cake (see what they did there?), they realize they've been captured by deadly predators.
“Sweetest Pie.”The music video, which dropped on Friday, features a mixture of magical, fanatical vibes and sexy booty-popping.The clip was directed by Dave Meyer and the concept was created by Meg herself.The scene opens with a breathtaking waterfall in a grassy green forest.Megan, 27, and Lipa, 26, then pop up on screen sporting black leather hats and gowns, looking rich.Other shots show the “Levitating” singer and the “Body” rapper dancing in bright bejeweled corsets against pastel-colored Versailles-esque backdrops. The backgrounds are reminiscent of “Hansel and Gretel” meets Marie Antoinette.
