"Blow Your Mind (Mwah)" is a song by English singer and songwriter Dua Lipa. It was released on 26 August 2016 as the fifth overall single from her upcoming debut studio album, Dua Lipa (2017).[1] The song debuted at number 50 and has since peaked at number 30 on the UK Singles Chart.

Critical reception

Anna Gaca of Spin called it "a short, bombastic number with echoing drums and equal parts club-ready sultriness and onomatopoeia kiss-off."[2] Idolator's Rachel Sonis labeled it "feisty" and went on to say that "it's playful, bubbly, and a perfect number to serve as her first official single in the US."[3]

Music video

A music video for the song premiered on September 12, 2016 and directed by Kinga Burza. The video features Dua Lipa and other women going out for a night on the town, waving signs that say "Dua for President", an LGBT flag and dancing in the Barbican Estate in London.[4][5]
