Before praising the couple for being by her side all the time and cheering for her, the One Kiss hitmaker shared a hilarious incident she encountered with her parents.

"As you can see they are kind of cool, they love to party," Lipa took a pause, "One night, I was out with my friends, and we ended up at a club at 3 o’clock in the morning and who do I bump into but my parents."

The audience burst into laughter, and then she continued, "Which was embarrassing because the last thing you wanna see when you are super high and drunk off your a** is your daughter."

The scene then cuts to her parents’ visuals on the screen who were enjoying, erupting into laughter with the crowd.

"But really, they have always been so supportive," the Levitating chart-topper added, "They let me move from Kosova to London when I was just 15 to start my career, and now my third album just dropped, and it’s called Radical Optimism."

In her SNL monologue, she explained the meaning of her latest album, released on Friday, May 3, as "looking on the bright side of any situation."
