In this episode of How it happenedDua Lipa talks about an illusion she faced during the talking stage of a relationship, how it led to the creation of her new song “Illusion,” and the Spanish touch in her music video.
Dua Lipa:
Hey, this is Dua Lipa and she is How it happened with my song “Illusion” for Billboard.
The songwriting process always starts with a “Yap,” as we and Caroline like to call it. I was in a studio in London, where I spent almost the majority of my year and a half writing for this record. Every morning I came in, had a cup of tea and sat with Caroline. And basically we like… it's a sofa and there's a little table and we would sit on the floor, between the sofa and the table, and we would start talking about everything that was happening.
I guess I was in the “shake” of being single. It's like a crazy roller coaster of fun stories. And I think it's really good writing. So I went in and sat down with Caroline, who I've been working with since my first album. I mean, we're so close that I can tell him anything. And we were sitting and talking.
It's funny when someone thinks they can fool you, or that it may be an illusion of some kind. And you see it perfectly, but you choose to play along because it's more fun. But, you know, all the time, I guess it's just part of the dating thing, where you're just texting at this point, because you're bored.
