      I love the sound of this track too and it was great to come across this video. Wiki says it was mixed by Serban Ghenea. This guy has compiled a youtube video about Ghenea's vocal chain or at least what he thinks it is based on different bits of info. czcams.com/video/xjk_Mw11Iug/video.html
      You can also get a similarly present vocal sound by using the old trick of an 1176 compressor followed by an LA-2A compressor. You can absolutely smash a lead vocal with an LA-2A, it pins it to the front of the mix but doesn't sound overly compressed. The 1176 is first in the chain set to knock down the faster, louder peaks by a few dB because the LA-2A is too slow to catch those and will still be releasing before the next fast, big peak comes in. Then with the signal smoothed out by the 1176, the LA-2A does a really nice job of the main compressor in a really organic sounding way. Maybe you already know this trick but if not, it's a good one.
      I love the Universal Audio LA-2A silver for this, it's an amazing sounding vocal compressor and right now it's on sale at Plugin Boutique for $29. You get 3 LA-2A's, one of them being the LA-2A Silver which has the ideal release time for vocals. The cheapest I've ever seen these things go for by a mile. I think I paid $129 for mine and that was after stalking them on various holiday sales for a couple of years. Usual price is $299 :) Universal Audio has now started selling some of their plugins in the "Native" format, meaning you don't need to own their hardware to run them. The LA's are one of the Native releases.

    I didn't know much about Dua Lipa or that she was a "huge star". I just accidentally heard the song on Spotify while listening with headphones. I had to stop and bookmark it. I've since discovered all her songs are actually really well-composed. All the layering, chord progressions, great harmonies, and the songs are "tight" like a classic 1960's pop hit. Zero fat on her songs. There's a big difference between this song and every other pop song out there today, miles of difference.

    Unbelievable talent between these two. So fascinating to hear all the layers and textures of the song that I hadn’t noticed before, but will now. Isolating all the instruments separately and then her vocals… wow, she sounds incredible.
    Amazing content!

    Dua and Mark could not have made a better track for the movie. Their genius shines throughout this song, because of the limitations of the click track they had to work within that framework.

    I enjoyed this breakdown so much. There were so many parts of this song that I missed and I’ve listened to it so much. I appreciate how much work they put into this!

    This is hands down my favorite song ever. The violins and unusual but incredibly good sounding chord progression make it a unique and perfect masterpiece. Thanks Dua, Mark and everyone involved!

    I haven’t deliberately listened to Dua Lipa before this song, but this BTS breakdown with Mark and her was awesome. I am actually obsessed with the song, the dance scene, everything!!!😂 She really has a wonderful crisp tone, a lovely voice. Really hope they win the Grammy with this. It’s such a wonderfully upbeat song!

    Absolutely fascinating that they started with just a click track first that the actors danced to and a video was recorded. Then Dua and Mark put a beat, melody, strings, lyrics etc etc to the video! Amazing! I would never have thought of that!

    I hear Donna Summers MacArthur Park extended version in the instrumentals. Took a few listens to remember it. The audacious vibe of both are present. It's not the notes but the crazy energy and the layering.
    Great song Mark. Yanked me back to the dance floor.

    Hopefully with this, people can stop saying producers are just laying pre made beats or just pressing buttons. It takes a lot to make a hit (most of the time) and the production, mastering of the track etc...
