The music video to this track, which is an animated affair (as suggested by the cover art), was directed by Raman Djafari.īelow are the countries in which “Cold Heart” became a top-10 hit: In April of 2021, Dua Lipa did team up with Elton John at the latter’s Oscar party to perform a few tracks together. And they became friends prior, around the time of the release of Lipa’s remix album “Club Future Nostalgia”, which came out around mid-2020. This marked the first time Sir John has managed to do so in over two decades. However, this would still represent the 68 th time Elton has made it onto the Billboard Hot 100 in general.
Here it achieved top-5 status.Īnd to note, whereas the tune didn’t perform nearly as well on the Hot 100 itself it did appear on the list nonetheless. Whereas up until this point, “Cold Heart” hasn’t achieved any commercial certificates, it was a major international hit chart-wise, charting in nearly 40 countries overall. In the United States, it fared most impressively on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. The first teasing of this track came a few days before its official release. The aforementioned members of PNAU are: Peter Mayes and the Littlemore brothers, Sam and Nicholas The “PNAU” found in this track’s title is actually the name of the unit of musicians from Australia who produced this track. And the three members of the outfit are also credited as co-writers of “Cold Heart” alongside Elton John and his own established musical companion, Bernie Taupin. The album is titled “The Lockdown Sessions”. It acts as the lead single from Elton John’s 32 nd studio album. This track was put out by EMI Records and Mercury Records. This is the first collaboration between Elton John and Dua Lipa, with the former being approximately 50 years and about 10 music generations older than the latter. But of course the Rocketman, whose discography dates all the way back to the late-1960s, has been one of the most resilient musicians in history. For example, his first UK Singles Chart topper came in 1976 with “ Don’t Go Breaking My Heart“, a collaboration with Kiki Dee.Īnd “Cold Heart”, which was released as recently as 13 August 2021, got as high as number two on the list and did top The Official Big Top 40, another chart in the UK. And for the record, it also interpolates another of Sir John’s tunes, that being 1976’s “Where’s the Shoorah” as well as 1983’s “Kiss the Bride”. Lyrically this song is a combination of few earlier Elton John tracks, most notably 1972’s “ Rocket Man” and 1989’s “ Sacrifice“.
