Dua was featured in the program’s first hour with an intimate rendition of her song Pretty Please, off her hit second album Future Nostalgia.
The London born singer showed off her new cherry red tresses just days earlier, but she had pale pink tresses during her performance, suggesting that it was filmed earlier this month.
She kept her home performance casual with a black hoodie and matching sweats reading ‘Say you want me too,’ and featuring an illustration of a cherub.
Dua bobbed her head and grooved with the song while singing in front of a brick wall.

Unlike some more minimalist quarantine performances, she had the back of a full band, with each musician patched in remotely to give the song the feel of a full studio performance.
The pop star has been staying put in her native London in recent weeks with her boyfriend Anwar Hadid.
