Dua Lipa will drop her next single, 'Training Season', next month

Dua Lipa has announced the release of her new single 'Training Season', set to drop on February 15th at 11pm GMT.

The track is the second single from her highly anticipated upcoming album, which is due out later this year. In anticipation of the release, a 30-second snippet of 'Training Season' has been made available for use on all short-form platforms. Fans can pre-save the single now.

Discussing the inspiration behind 'Training Season', Dua Lipa said, "I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw. The next morning I arrived to the studio to Caroline and Tobias asking me how it all went and I immediately declared 'TRAINING SEASON IS OVER,' and like the best ‘day after’ debriefs with your mates, we had a lot of laughs and it all quickly came together from there." She added, "And while it is obviously about that feeling when you are just absolutely done telling people…men specifically in this case, how to date you right; it is also about my training season being over and me growing with every experience. I have never felt more confident, clear or empowered. And while it may be that training season is never over for any of us, you start to see the beauty in finding that person to experience it with. You stop looking for the trainees and become more interested in having someone where you are and someone to grow with".

The announcement of 'Training Season' follows Dua Lipa's recent three BRIT Award nominations, including Artist of the Year, Best Pop Act, and Song of the Year for 'Dance The Night'. She is also set to perform at the BRIT Awards this year, returning to the stage for the first time since her 2021 performance, where she won Album of the Year for 'Future Nostalgia'.

Additionally, Dua Lipa is slated to perform at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 4th. Her song 'Dance The Night', from the film 'Barbie', is nominated for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the GRAMMYs. The track has also been shortlisted for the Oscars and received nominations at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards.
