Singing Physical: what your voice is in for
This is a workout in every sense. The Dua Lipa single runs at 147 bpm with an energy score of 90, and its researched range spans A3 to D5, 17 semitones, in a stored key of C major. The melody itself is not extreme; the challenge is repetition. The chorus hammers its upper notes over and over, and the deciding moment is the final chorus after the bridge, when the arrangement doubles down exactly as the voice starts negotiating for mercy.
Mezzos and altos both fit the song entirely, with mezzos listed first: the D5 top leaves them three semitones of ceiling, and the A3 bottom lands exactly on their floor. The page's key math offers mezzos a one semitone lift to C# major and altos a two semitone drop to A# major, both modest moves that shift where the chorus grind sits in the voice. Sopranos have seven semitones of headroom but lose three at the bottom. Tenors face five over the ceiling; this one genuinely belongs to the upper voices.
The technique is mixed-voice endurance with disciplined pacing. Practice cue: run the full song once while marking, singing every chorus at quarter volume, and notice which repetition tires you first. That repetition, not the highest note, is where your breath plan needs to change.
