Dua Lipa Returns With New Song

Dua’s comeback not only showcases her signature sound but also exudes a newfound confidence and spunk. “Training Season” embodies this spirit, as Dua embraces her singlehood and dating life without the pressure of conforming to anyone else’s expectations.

Dua shared, “I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw. The next morning, I arrived at the studio to Caroline [Ailin] and Tobias [Jesso Jr.] asking me how it went, and I immediately declared ‘Training season is over.’ And like the best ‘day after’ debriefs with your mates, we had a lot of laughs and it all quickly came together from there.”

With empowering lyrics like “Are you somebody who can go there? ‘Cause I don’t wanna have to show ya. If that ain’t you, then let me know, yeah. ‘Cause training season’s over,” Dua sends a powerful message about knowing one’s worth, accompanied by an electrifying dance beat that’s bound to be another chart-topper.

As she puts it, “While it is obviously about that feeling when you are just absolutely done telling people – men specifically in this case – how to date you right, it is also about my training season being over, and me growing with every experience. I have never felt more confident, clear, or empowered.”

And the excitement doesn’t end with the release of the single! Fans are treated to the official “Training Season” music video, perfectly capturing Dua’s sentiments. From flooded voicemails to a chaotic room filled with admirers, it’s a thrilling visual feast that perfectly complements the track’s bold and edgy vibe.

Back-to-back hits

Dua’s certified platinum sophomore album Future Nostalgia solidified her position as both a critical success and a top radio performer. The GRAMMY-nominated record was the longest-running top 10 album by a female artist on the Billboard 200 in 2021, and spawned multiple worldwide hit singles, with “Levitating” earning certified diamond status and the title of Billboard’s No. 1 Hot 100 Song of 2021.

Last November, Dua returned with the euphoric club-ready track “Houdini,” which went straight to No. 1 on the UK Airplay charts, drawing in over 12 million YouTube views within 24 hours, and garnered immediate praise across the board – from Rolling Stone and Billboard, who said the track is “an immediate blast,” to Pitchfork and Vogue, who called it “a pop masterclass.”

“Houdini” followed Dua’s hit song “Dance The Night” from the box office sensation Barbie, which landed on the Oscars shortlist and earned nominations at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, and the Grammys.

As “Training Season” takes the airwaves by storm, Dua Lipa proves that her journey as a pop powerhouse is just getting started.
