Dua Lipa's 'Levitating' is a prime example of the 'disco-revival' trend of the early 2020s. While it never reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at number two), it was named the No. 1 song of the year for 2021 because of its incredible staying power. It spent 77 weeks on the chart, the most for any song by a female artist. The song was inspired by the 1970s and 80s dance music of artists like Blondie and Chic. Its success was bolstered by multiple remixes and a massive presence on TikTok. The track's 'space-disco' theme and uplifting energy made it a definitive 'post-pandemic' anthem, helping Dua Lipa's album 'Future Nostalgia' become a modern pop classic.
