DUA LIPA "Training Season", the second single (Watch the video)

Goes out Training Season, Dua Lipa’s second single from her upcoming album due out this year.

Speaking about the song, Dua says:

I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

The next morning I arrived at the studio and Caroline and Tobias asked me how it went and I immediately declared: ‘TRAINING SEASON IS OVER’!

Like the best day-after gossip with your closest friends, we had a lot of laughs and it all grew from there.”

While on the one hand it is obviously about that feeling you get when you are tired of telling people… men in particular in this case… how to behave towards you, on the other hand it is also about the fact that the training season is it’s over and I’ve grown up.

I have never felt so confident, clear and strong.

And even though training season never actually ends for any of us, we begin to appreciate the beauty of finding someone to experience it with.

You stop looking for apprentices and become more interested in having someone to grow together with.”

Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr. and Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, and was produced by Parker and Harle.
