Training Season
{
"Training Season" is a song by English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her third studio album, Radical Optimism (2024). Lipa wrote it with Caroline Ailin, Danny L Harle, Tobias Jesso Jr., and its producer, Kevin Parker. The song contains a sample of Tokyo Nights by Digital Farm Animals, so the following writers were added to the credits: Martina Sorbara, Nicholas Gale, Shaun Frank, Steve Francis Richard Mastroianni, and Yaakov Gruzman. Warner Records released it as the album's second single on 15 February 2024. A disco-pop song with influences of Eurodisco, "Training Season" details Lipa's demands from romantic partners as she chides bad dates and underscores her self-worth.
Music critics believed "Training Season" had commercial potential and compared its production to other singles from the album. The song debuted at number four on the UK Singles Chart and number twenty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100. It reached number one in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Turkey, Latvia, and Lithuania and the top ten in several other countries, receiving platinum certifications in Australia and Canada.
Vincent Haycock directed the music video for "Training Season", which depicts Lipa listening to voicemails from former partners in a cafe, while surrounding men try to capture her attention. Lipa premiered the song at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards before its release and later performed it at the Brit Awards 2024 and the Time 100 Gala. She included it on the set list of her 2024-2025 concert tour, the Radical Optimism Tour, and reprised it at festivals, including the Glastonbury Festival 2024.
