Sorry fans, you won't be catching Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish singing karaoke anytime soon.

During a roundtable conversation on Off Script with The Hollywood Reporter, the stars, along with fellow singer-songwriters Olivia Rodrigo, Cynthia Erivo, Julia Michaels and Jon Batiste, were asked what their go-to karaoke song was.

Michaels, 30, was first to blurt out her answer: "'Wanna Be,' Spice Girls," she said. Then, Erivo, 36, said her favorite was Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero."

"Mine is 'Dancing Queen,' Abba," Rodrigo, 20, added as everyone agreed it was a great song.

Lipa, 28, then admitted, "I hate singing at karaoke... my friends hate it. So it's all a bit weird. But I do 'Changes' by Tupac."

For Batiste, it's "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. When it was Eilish's turn, she revealed she's "never done karaoke."

"I don't like to sing," the "TV" singer, 22, said, clarifying that she had a "karaoke box" when she growing up and that was the only space she'd done it in.

"I'm just like, 'Haven't you heard enough of me singing onstage?' I don't know, like I was at a party and they had karaoke and they were like, 'Billie you should do it.' And I was like, you don't need me to do that.'"

Elsewhere in the interview, Lipa spoke about the process behind creating “Dance the Night,” her Grammy-nominated hit off the Barbie soundtrack. The “Houdini” singer explained that, although she was out on tour when she first heard from the soundtrack’s producer Mark Ronson, making the collaboration work was "an absolute no-brainer."

The Grammy winner made time to travel to New York City to get in the studio and speak to director Greta Gerwig, 40, about her vision.

“Greta was saying how inspired by disco she was,” Lipa explained. “I just thought about disco and the community it brings, and the way it brings people together. It was always a genre of music that was such a release when things weren’t going well in the world.”

The “Levitating” singer continued, “And so ‘Dance the Night’ was created specifically for Barbie’s best day ever, which then results in her thinking about death. So it’s really about those dualities of life and being able to merge the two together.”

Meanwhile, Eilish opened up about her creative struggles before writing  "What Was I Made For?" with her brother and collaborator Finneas, which was also for Barbie.

“I honestly was concerned that it was over for me,” she said. “We’d been trying and it wasn’t doing what it usually would do in me. I was honestly like, ‘Damn, maybe I hit my peak and I don’t know how to write anymore?’"

But a call from writer-director Gerwig in January asking her to write a song for the Barbie soundtrack changed everything.

“Greta saved me, really, honestly,” the pop star told the outlet. “It brought us out of it and immediately we were inspired and wrote so much more after that.”
