Dua Lipa has men fighting over her in her music video for ‘Training Season’.
The 28-year-old pop star has dropped the latest track from her upcoming third studio album alongside a promo that sees the singer joined in a crowded cafe by the men who failed to “date her right” before things quickly transcend into chaos as they fight for her attention.
She said of the track in a statement: “I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw. The next morning I arrived to the studio to Caroline and Tobias asking me how it all 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.”
She added: “And 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 while it may be that training season is never over for any of us, you start to see the beauty in finding that person to experience it with. You stop looking for the trainees and become more interested in having someone where you are and someone to grow with.”
So far fans have heard the lead single ‘Houdini’ and ‘Training Season’ from the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Future Nostalgia’, which is due out later this year, and saw Dua “digging deeper and deeper”.
Speaking on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards earlier this month, she told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I feel like with every album, I get to grow more and learn more about myself and I become more free as a songwriter and as a performer and as an artist.
“So, this one, I’m just like digging deeper and deeper. I love it. I’m proud of this one.”
