2020 has been a rollercoaster with all the unexpected twists and turns. The world is stuck in their homes and we are all losing our minds a little more with each passing day. With social distancing in action, even celebrities are trying to find something to do. In the midst of all these dark clouds, Future Nostalgia turned out to be a silver lining. Dua Lipa’s album was released earlier than expected and has been blowing minds since then. It has been streamed over a million times by now. Here’s a glimpse of how people have received this album.
1. Magical experience

For a minute we thought we had started to Hallucinate. Quite a possibility when you have been listening to songs on a loop. We sure have been Levitating by the magic of this album.
2. On a mission to save the world

Being cooped up in our houses while isolating had us thinking we were nearing a certain apocalypse. You know, where we turn into zombies or something? And then came Dua Lipa’s album to our rescue.
3. What’s on her mind?

Future Nostalgia will soon be recognized as the saving grace of this quarantine period. It reintroduced us to the art of having fun. After all, it’s important to have fun.
5. Possessed?
it's gotten to the point of quarantine where i'm deadass just dancing around my backyard to future nostalgia while my neighbors call their pastors over what they're witnessing from me right now
— kyle ⁎˚ ༚☆˚✧₊ (@americanaprince) May 3, 2020
What can we say to this? You do you girl! These songs do hold that kind of power and we aren’t about to deny the fact that we have been dancing all this while, too.
6. Maybe not?
Listen "Future Nostalgia" while being in quarantine always backfires, it makes me wanna go out, get drinks and dance
— Ｓｏｌｃｉｔｏ ???? (@quinzelcorp) April 27, 2020
Aaahhhh... But we have to stay in! So, let’s just grab a glass of wine, pretend it’s Christmas, and start moving to the best pop music we have heard in a while. We are already high on these tracks!
7. Knowledge worth sharing
When Covid-19 goes into the history books will there be a special mention for Future Nostalgia being the anthem of quarantine ?
— #TeamJaida (@AllOfAle) May 1, 2020
Future Nostalgia is a PSA we did not know we needed. It is saving lives, reviving people, and keeping them from stepping out, out of sheer boredom. This kind of service is definitely worth going down in history.
8. Should we call in sick?
The new Dua Lipa album is really bad work from home music because I just can’t stop DANCIN’ TO IT ???? pic.twitter.com/K63NF1lArL
— Scott Interrante (@InterranteScott) March 27, 2020
This tweet here perfectly sums up our thoughts right now. Video calling our friends to dance to Future Nostalgia is a mood. You’ll never know how many times we needed to write this.
9. Change of plans
Am I the only one that woke up excited knowing that I’ll get to shower for the first time listening to Future Nostalgia on blast? ???? #FutureNostalgia #DuaLipa

Dua Lipa is saving us from boredom. She even resuscitated our dead souls by bringing life to daily chores. We have vacuumed the house thrice already. All hail the queen of revival.
10. And the award goes to…
Dua lipa is THAT BITCH! The album is getting me through quarantine. She BETTER get an album of the year nomination!#FutureNostalgia pic.twitter.com/NpCmfAStOc
— ????????♀️ (@LifeofHamdi) March 27, 2020
We suggest nominating the album, the singer, the songs for every award possible. We mean, if you haven’t been listening to Future Nostalgia, how are you even surviving right now?
11. Essentials only
dua lipa is an essential employee
— chase (@cfree94) March 27, 2020
Whatever helps you survive is considered essential. With Dua Lipa helping us all survive the apocalyptic insanity, she sure is essential. That’s our favorite unpopular opinion of the day and we challenge you to change our mind.
12. Don’t break the quarantine
"oh no, i was doing better alone but when u said hello, i knew that was the end of it all, i should've stayed at home" yall hear that guilt for breaking quarantine anthem that Dua lipa just dropped? she's doing a lot for us pic.twitter.com/Fr4eiBy9ZE
— norma jeane (@versaceschanel) March 27, 2020
Let’s all take a moment to appreciate how much Dua Lipa is trying to educate and encourage everyone to not break the quarantine and stay at home. The next time you itch to step out, remember the queen’s sage advice.
13. Have some fun
Dua Lipa in Don't Start Now: "Don't show up, don't come out"Dua Lipa in Break My Heart: "I should have stayed at home"MISS @DUALIPA QUARANTINE QUEEN!!! CORONAVIRUS IS QUAKING!!!!!!!!
— Nathania (@PilosopoTanya) March 26, 2020
Future Nostalgia is full of songs telling us to stay put inside our homes. Let us all do just that. In case you need more reasons, we suggest you revisit Don’t Start Now and Break My Heart.
14. True footage of us all

This is probably what the Future Nostalgia lineup did to us when it was released. We were all this close to dying out boredom. Seriously, not kidding. Breathing better now.
15. Give it all
Dua Lipa went on her last tour and saw so many screaming gay men in the crowd and went to her producers like:“So, it might be wild, but I’ve got some ideas luvs...”
— Nick Lehmann (@NickStopTalking) March 27, 2020
No one can deny the effect these newly dropped songs have been having. The fact that the song really does talk about and support the LGBTQ community is a cake to the cherry.
16. Did someone say dance party?
Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia hits in all the right ways. 43 minutes of pure pop-funk-disco fun. Just had a much needed morning dance party. My downstairs neighbors may hate me right now but I’m feeling alive.
— Zach Kornfeld (@korndiddy) March 27, 2020
What if the neighbors are just secretly jealous, Zach? Check to see if they are interested in a good old neighborhood dance party or maybe a singalong? Try that, guy!
17. From one queen to another

Our little fan hearts are ready to jump out. *Wiping away the teary eyes* Look at them uplifting and complimenting each other! We should all learn from our favorites. FYI, Camila, they are our favorites too!
