At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Dua Lipa got fans buzzing about her upcoming song 'Training Season,' which she teased on the red carpet pre-show. The 28-year-old pop sensation shared insights into the inspiration behind the highly anticipated single, set to be released on February 15th.
During an interview with host Laverne Cox, Lipa discussed snippets of the empowering lyrics that she had shared on social media. With lines like 'I need a man who takes control. I need him to be strong. I don't want to teach him anything,' the singer expressed her desire for a mature and self-assured partner.
When Cox asked Lipa if 'Training Season' was about finding a man who meets her expectations, the British artist confidently replied, 'They gotta come correct!' She clarified that the song represents the end of the 'training' period in relationships, emphasizing that she is done with teaching someone how to be in a mature partnership.
In addition to 'Training Season,' Lipa revealed that a full-length album is on the horizon, promising that it will be released soon. The Grammy-nominated singer had already unveiled the lead single, 'Houdini,' back in November 2023, creating excitement for her fans.
Lipa showcased her dedication to the upcoming album by sharing snippets of 'Training Season' on social media. These snippets included behind-the-scenes footage of the single artwork photoshoot and clips of her and her dancers rehearsing choreography. The lyrics she shared touched upon her search for emotional depth and an understanding partner.
The Grammy nominee is not just focused on her latest single and album, as she is also celebrating her hit song 'Dance the Night' from the film Barbie: The Album, which garnered nominations for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media at this year's Grammys. While writing music for a film did not directly influence her upcoming album, Lipa expressed her enthusiasm for the experience and the opportunity to work with director Greta Gerwig.
During the Grammys pre-show, Lipa not only discussed her own music but also emphasized the recognition of female artists at this year's awards. She expressed her excitement about the numerous talented women being nominated, highlighting the exceptional female albums that have been recognized this year.
It's clear that Dua Lipa is poised to make a significant impact in the music industry once again with her upcoming single 'Training Season' and her highly anticipated album. Fans can eagerly look forward to experiencing Lipa's distinct sound and powerful lyrics when the album finally drops. In the meantime, her contributions to Barbie: The Album and her presence at the Grammys serve to further solidify her status as a formidable force in pop music.
