Talking about releasing new music at the beginning of the pandemic, Lipa said: It was a really big album to take a tour and see the audience. It’s very exciting to see people get together as a group. “

Having a pop music career also puts immense pressure on artists.

“The only thing I’ve ever wanted was that it was about music. My goal was to make music good enough so that people could talk about it above all else. I did, “she says. “But unless you’re a fully formed popster trained in a popstar camp for 5 f ** king years before you go on stage for the first time, one failure, one wrong move, one dance is actually Does not work and it is used against you. It was a big deal for me. “

Being in your twenties also means growing and maturing with music, and Lipa accepts it.

“For two years we were frozen. I couldn’t write the song as I had imagined, but it made me feel like it was my first time to have a show around me. There is also a way to feel that is a little advanced, “explained the singer. “Especially now, I started writing again and started working on new music. I definitely grew up. Overall, whether it’s acoustic or thematic, I’m mature. It’s as if it helps me and I’m not afraid to talk about things. It’s about understanding what I want. “

Lipa adds: “The next chapter in my life is about what’s really good about being alone. Some people on the internet said,” Oh, Dua went out for dinner on her own, somehow, I always I’ll do this. ” And if you always do it, I think it’s amazing. You have to be very confident. But that was a big step for me. I was nervous — for example, what am I going to do? I don’t want to answer the phone. You want to know that you can be there just for yourself, right? “
