In this Sound On Sound interview with mixer/producer Ian Kirkpatrick, he describes using Vulf Compressor on Dua Lipa's lead vocal on "Don't Stop Now."
In this interview, Ian Kirkpatrick says "I also usually do the vocal recording and production. Dua tends to record at my place, using my Telefunken [ELA M] 251, or sometimes my Shure SM7. Many of the vocals here are recorded on the SM7, handheld. I do of course get vocal recordings and comps made by others, and however great they are, I always ask for the other takes, so I can tweak the vocal production. I like to have options."

According to Andrew Watt, the vocal chain he uses for artists he collaborates with, including Dua Lipa, incorporates the DDMF Magic Death Eye. He explains, "Whether it’s Lipa or Osbourne, Cyrus or Malone on vocals, the exact same microphone and vocal chain is used: Sony C-800G to a Neve 1073 and UAD CL-1B, to Renaissance Channel, RVox for level, iZotope Nectar EQ, Fab-Filter ProDS (or Massey De-Esser) and usually a Magic Death Eye last—then a variety of effects including Valhalla Vintage Verb, a Plate of choice, various delays and often some sort of tight modulation (i.e. Waves Doubler, SoundToys Microshift, or TAL-CHORUS)."
