 * Lead


 * No issues found. The lead looks great!


 * Writing and production

 * he went through 25 different sounds and incorporated them to four ---> change to to into
 * Reworded.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Music and lyrics


 * while the chorus follows a Bm–D–Em7–F♯m7–Gmaj7 sequence. ---> maybe change while to whilst? To follow BE rules since Dua is English.
 * Reworded.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Release and promotion


 * No issues


 * Critical Reception


 * In the Los Angeles Times, ---> Maybe, In a review for Los Angeles Times or Writing for Los Angeles Times?
 * Reworded.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * musicOMH's Nick Smith described the track as a "Moloko-esque nu-disco treasure",[8] while Robin Murray of Clash called it "a super-infectious disco burner" with "a Chic flavour to the songwriting, given a chrome-plated 2019 overhaul."[48] ---> I feel that this sentence is better suited for Music and lyrics rather than Critical Reception.
 * I removed Clash, but kept musicOMH who called the song a "treasure" and the Moloko comparison I feel is valid since Lipa has said they influenced the album.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * The section contains too many quotations. Can you try to re-write them? I know that sometimes is tricky, but it would be nice if you can reduce them a bit.
 * I've done some more paraphrasing where possible, is it better now? Some of the quotes cannot paraphrased otherwise they risk misrepresenting the critics view.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Commercial Performance


 * In January 2020, it was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[62] As of 17 April 2020, the song has sold 1,037,130 units in the UK.[63] ---> Try to combine these two sentences in one. They are too short by themselves and also related.
 * Combined and trimmed.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * On the Irish Singles Chart, "Don't Start Now" debuted at number one, becoming Lipa's fourth chart-topper in Ireland, following 2017's "New Rules" and "IDGAF", and 2018's "One Kiss". ---> IDGAF was released in 2018 as a single, so it's technically a 2018 single.
 * Corrected.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * It topped the chart for two consecutive weeks.[65] ---> Again, this sentence is too short to be on its own. Try to combine it.
 * Combined.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Music video
 * No issues.


 * Live performances
 * Lipa performed the song in a red bodysuit at the 2019 American Music Awards on 24 November 2019. ---> maybe you can add that she wore a red suit in the follow-up sentence? It seems kinda trivial here.
 * Added to next sentence.  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * References


 * They look really well organized.
 * Thank you!  Cool Marc  18:48, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

All in all, great work on the article. It's super ready to be a GA, and with few minor grammar tweaks even to FA. Once the issues are resolved I will promote it to GA. — Tom (T2ME) 17:35, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
