Prior to the official roll of ‘Future Nostalgia‘, there were many tracks and snippets of songs allegedly set to be included in the album leaked online. Those leaked tracks appear to be titled “Bad Idea”, “Cherry”, “Berlin Summer”, and “Love Is Religion”. Among the leak, “Sad Disco (If It Ain’t Me)” is the most discussed as it appears to feature Normani, the ex-member of Fifth Harmony, on the the track.

In addition to Normani’s collaboration, Lipa also revealed in the interview that she did record a track with mega popstar Miley Cyrus. “We’re not sure if the song we wanted to put out was the song we wanted to put out, so now it’s kind of in waiting. Maybe we’ll do something different, we’re not sure. There is a song, but I don’t know if it’s the song.”
