This MAY be the first time we've ever had a song with Bing Crosby credited as a songwriter, but he is. You see, he wrote the lyrics for a song called "My Woman". And, Dua Lipa and her songwriting team were writing this song with a disco feel..... and one night, one of her songwriters started singing the song "Your Woman" by White Town over top of the pieces of "Love Again" they had already laid down.
Dua thought it was from Star Wars.
Anyway, they laid pieces of Bing's recording over top of what they had already - with some significant pitch correction. So, Bing, and not Jyoti Mishra, got a songwriting credit, because, despite what you've heard on social media, Dua didn't sample "Your Woman". Both "Your Woman" and "Love Again" sampled the same parts of "My Woman".
The more you know.
Anyway, it's a cool, disco-y song and adding the sample makes it better.
This was a pretty big hit song for Dua Lipa, especially in Europe, so she performs it live a lot. However, I love this version she did with Elton John and a bunch of strings live-performing the "My Woman" sample. It takes on a less disco and more torchsong feeling, but it still works, really well.
Also, the woman can sing.
