In an Instagram video she shared recently, Dua Lipa has much more to say about her upcoming record.

It's the beauty of the chaos and trying to stay calm through it," the Grammy-winning singer said in the video. "Listening over and over and feeling like, 'How do I want to tell this story?'"

Dua Lipa has since released two singles from the album: " Houdini" and "Training Session."

"I always go for the most upbeat ones to introduce people to the record," she revealed. "I can just keep on dancing and keep people dancing. We're trying to create a world in a different way, and sonically it was about experimenting. Thematically, it was always about resilience."

In a press release, Dua Lipa revealed that she got the idea of "radical optimism" from a friend.

"It's a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life," she said. "It struck me - the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip hop and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions."
