The release date of Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism is less than a month away, and she has another single on the way. She’ll stick to the album’s magical theme with the upcoming third single “Illusions”, which will hit the shelves on April 11.
Lipa took to social media to share the “Illusions” artwork, which sees her wearing a white bikini top and shawl. She wears the same outfit in the short snippet of the song, which reveals its lyrics, “I could do this dance all night / Ooh, what you doing? Don’t know who you think that you’re confusing.”
Lipa previously discussed this song in an interview with Variety and revealed it was the “eureka moment” that inspired the whole album.
“That was a song where I felt like lyrically, I got this radical optimism. I felt very strong in the moment when I was writing that song, because it was really seeing past someone’s bulls–t […} and understanding it for what it is and just entertaining it for the hell of it,” she told Variety.
Radical Optimism will be released on May 3 via Warner Records, and it will feature 11 songs, including previously released singles “Houdini” and “Training Season”.
