Dua Lipa has released the music video for “Training Season,” directed by Vincent Haycock and produced by Somesuch.
“Training Season” arrives as the second single from Lipa’s forthcoming third studio album and was made with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, Caroline Ailin, Danny L Harle, and Tobias Jesso Jr.
The video opens with Lipa’s voicemail flooded with apologies and requests for second chances, continuing with clips of the singer sitting alone in a cafe as men compete for her attention as the room begins to spin into a dizzying, chaotic scene.
Haycock’s distinctive vivid style is reflected throughout the video, with the creative forming a commentary on the rigors of dating.
Lipa explained: “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 (Ailin) and Tobias (Jesso Jr) asking me how it all went and I immediately declared “Training Season Is Over.”
