Dua Lipa has praised a remix of "Hallucinate" that has been teamed with the BBC theme song.

Yesterday (27 April), Ben Howell made a remix of Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia track "Hallucinate", and decided to team it with the BBC theme tune.

It's gone viral since then, obviously, and today (28 April), Dua Lipa has praised the remix.

In fact, it went viral so much so that BBC decided to interview Howell alongside Greg James (who sent the remix to Dua Lipa), and the BBC have also shared the "Hallucinate" BBC theme tune.

The track is fitting as Dua Lipa repeatedly sings "I'm losing my m-m-m-mind" - a nod to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has much of the world on lockdown.

Last week, Dua Lipa contributed to the BBCR1 Live Lounge charity cover of "Times Like These".
