Cold Heart” was rumoured to be in the works for months before its release, with Elton John releasing a statement about the collaboration to Rolling Stone magazine:

“The last 18 months have been hard, but being off the road has meant that I’ve actually had time to get back to my roots as a session player and collaborate with some wonderful artists… And having the opportunity to spend time with Dua, albeit remotely has been incredible. She’s given me so much energy. She’s a truly wonderful artist, and person, absolutely bursting with creativity and ideas. The energy she brought to ‘Cold Heart’ just blew my mind.”

Dua Lipa also released a statement discussing her relationship with Elton John as well as the track:

Ever since we first ‘met’ online, we totally clicked. Elton is such an inspirational artist and also has the naughtiest sense of humour — a perfect combination. It has been an absolute honour and privilege to collaborate on this track with him. It’s so very special, with some of my very favourite Elton John classic songs combined — I loved being part of such a creative and joyous experience. Can’t wait to hear it everywhere this summer”. 

Cold Heart” is certified Gold in Australia, Italy, New Zealand, and Switzerland, with the track ranking Silver in the U.K.
