Dua Lipa worked hard for the follow up she did Future Nostalgia and the singer told Jimmy Kimmel last night that she wrote nearly 100 songs for the LP. He also admitted to the late night host that he wrote all the songs in a notebook he bought at CVS.
“It has every song I've written for this album,” Dua explained to Kimmel from the notebook, which she brought with her to the Jimmy Kimmel Live. “I wrote 97 songs… Just because I have this [notebook]. It's become my relic now, in a way.”
He added: “Right now I'm sweating at the thought of this book being lost.” Kimmel then asked if any of the 97 songs are “terrible,” to which Dua confirmed that, yes, some are.
“A lot,” he said. “About 80 of them. The second I write a song I know if it's good or not, or if it's close to being good, and then I'd rework it. Every song on this album, unlike any of the other records I've done, I've gone in and rewritten it over and over again until I felt it was perfect. Something I didn't really have the confidence to do on my previous records. Like whatever I wrote that day was pretty much what everybody heard and now this time I'm a lot more sure of myself as a songwriter and a performer and how I want things to be and sound and look.”
Dua Lipa's new single, “Training Season,” is set to drop on February 15. The song, which debuted during last weekend's Grammys, reflects on the date. He told Kimmel that it's about “not wanting to educate people.”
“I think with every dating experience, whether it's good or bad, every person walks away from the situation having learned something,” she explained. “And it will be better for the next person.”
The singer performed “Training Season” during a Grammy medley that included her Barbie hit “Dance the Night” and recent single “Houdini,” which was released in November.
“This record is a little more raw,” he said recently Rolling rock about what to expect with the new album. “I want to capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun and letting things happen, whether they're good or bad.
