Global pop sensation Dua Lipa provided a candid glimpse into her personal life, addressing the complexities of love, breakups, and the creative process that fueled her upcoming album. As one of the most celebrated artists in the music industry, Lipa’s openness about her experiences adds depth to her already magnetic persona.
Dua Lipa, amidst the hustle of entering tour rehearsals, discussed the intricacies of dating in the public eye. Acknowledging the confusion that comes with navigating relationships, she shared insights into the challenges faced as a public figure. Lipa emphasized the importance of connections through friends and trusted circles, highlighting the non-linear nature of her romantic journey.
Describing the musical essence of her upcoming release, Dua Lipa emphasized its uniquely confident and playful dance-pop vibe. The album, much like her previous hit “Future Nostalgia,” is anticipated to deliver straightforward pop bliss. The lyrics, often witty and Instagram-caption-ready, capture scenes from clubbing and nights out with friends. While there may not be sweeping ballads, there’s a promise of pop-infused joy that mirrors Lipa’s distinctive style.
In December 2021, right as she was entering tour rehearsals, the tabloids reported her breakup with model Anwar Hadid (the brother of Bella and Gigi Hadid), who she dated for two years. She spent the following year tiptoeing back into single life.
“Dating, I think overall, is just a little confusing,” she says, which is somehow both comforting and terrifying to hear from someone even Margot Robbie has said she has a crush on. “It’s either through friends of friends or people you trust where you can meet new people, because [dating] is not really so straightforward when you are, I guess, a public person.”According to Ailin, they “always started with the truth.” Lipa would arrive to sessions with Ailin, Harle, Jesso, and Parker, armed with stories from the night before, chronicling the often-ridiculous ride that is dating in your mid-twenties.
Lipa doesn’t talk about her love life in depth. People will have to look to the music to get a sense of her private thoughts: One song juxtaposes light harmonies with a tumultuous portrait of a relationship coming to an end:
“We call it love but hate it here/Did we really mean it when we said forever?” she sings. But another highlight — one of Lipa’s favorites on the record — is all about maturity and healing. The dreamy, midtempo track plays out like an updated take on Gwen Stefani’s “Cool.
” In the lyrics, she compliments her ex’s new relationship, calling his new girlfriend “really pretty,” and she finds peace as he moves on: “I must have loved you more than I ever knew.… I’m not mad/I’m not hurt/You got everything you deserve.”“When you have a feeling like that one, you feel really grown because you’re like, ‘Oh, whoa, I’m such an evolved human being that I can see my ex move on and feel good about it,’” she explains.
For Lipa, writing about letting go without animosity was a new experience: “I think I’ve had breakups in my life where I felt like the only kind of breakup you could have was when things just ended really badly,” she says. “Things ending in a nice way was such a new thing.… It taught me a lot.”
Don’t forget that Dua Lipa got her 3rd album on the way inspiring nostalgic reverie Into U.K. rave culture.
