Why do Liverpool fans LOVE One Kiss by Dua Lipa?

For a number of years now trophy success at Liverpool has been linked with one song, and it isn’t You’ll Never Walk Alone.

One Kiss by Dua Lipa has been adopted as the Reds unofficial trophy anthem, being played after Liverpool cup finals since Liverpool won the Champions League in Madrid in 2019.

The song is often played at Anfield and gets a smile on Liverpool supporters faces as they think back to their cup final successes.

Liverpool most recently won the Carabao cup in February of this year and One Kiss was played after the full-time whistle.

It has become the anthem of the Reds’ success but how did winning trophies at Liverpool become synonymous with the 2018 pop hit?

Liverpool’s first ‘One Kiss’

When Liverpool reached the Champions League final in Kiev in 2018 it was Dua Lipa who opened the show. It was here that she played One Kiss and, although the match that night didn’t go Liverpool’s way, the anthem has stuck with the Reds ever since.

Written in collaboration with Calvin Harris, who took part in Liverpool’s open top bus parade after winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup in 2022, the song topped the charts in the UK when it was released in 2018.

Dua Lipa even revealed that she was hoping to make it to Anfield to watch the Reds in action during an interview with the club website in 2020.

"I'll definitely come to a game some time. My dad, who is a big Arsenal fan but has a soft spot for Liverpool, and my manager Ben, who is a big Liverpool fan, are working out when that can be” she told Liverpool FC.

Dua Lipa at Anfield

Although it wouldn’t be for a match, rumours have begun to swirl online that Dua Lipa could perform at Anfield this summer, much like Taylor Swift did in June, and an official announcement could soon come from either the club or the superstar herself.

The club received a healthy sum of money following Taylor Swift's performances at Anfield and will be looking to pocket some more if Dua Lipa does perform.

Whilst some Liverpool fans may be excited to see Dua Lipa at their home stadium, all of the Anfield faithful will be hoping to hear One Kiss play over the speakers at some point this season as Liverpool lift another trophy.
