Dua Lipa reveals that she wrote whopping 97 songs in notebook for her upcoming third studio album

on Thursday on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.

The 28-year-old pop star looked lovely in a long black dress while promoting her song Training Season that will be released next week after she performed it at the recent Grammy Awards.

Jimmy, 56, asked Dua about her song-writing process after she shared lyrics from Training Season with the talk show.

‘When you write these songs, you write them down in a book?,’ Jimmy asked.

‘Yeah. Well, it was my first time doing it. I started writing for this album in 2021, and I just wanted to write my ideas down. So I went down to CVS, and I just bought a random notebook. Had I have known how important that book would have been, maybe I would have gotten a more fancy one,’ Dua said referencing the large pharmacy and general merchandise chain.

‘You really went into a CVS?,’ Jimmy asked.

‘I love CVS,’ Dua said. ‘I’m obsessed with it. There’s nothing like a CVS, going in and buying a bunch of stuff you don’t need.’

Jimmy then showed the actual book that contains all of Dua’s thoughts and lyrics for the album.

‘It’s got every single song I’ve written for this album. …I wrote 97 songs,’ Dua said.

Jimmy was impressed with her output.

‘Yeah. And only because I have this, it’s now become kind of this, like, relic of mine in a way,’ Dua said.

‘Aren’t you terrified that this is going to get lost somehow?,’ Jimmy asked.

‘Yes, petrified,’ Dua admitted.

Jimmy joked that he might run off with the book.

‘I’m sweating right now at the idea,’ Dua said.

Jimmy said it was ‘pretty impressive’ that Dua used a ‘very old fashioned’ technique instead of humming songs into her phone or just typing the lyrics.

‘Yeah, I loved when I started, then I couldn’t stop. I feel very lucky to have it,’ Dua said.

Jimmy asked if any of the 97 songs were terrible.

‘Yes,’ Dua answered. ‘About 80 of them.’

Jimmy quipped that it makes it easier to whittle them down.

‘Yeah, exactly. No, the second I write a song, I know whether it’s good or not, or whether it’s close to being good. Then I would rework it. Every song in this album, unlike any of the other records I’ve made, I’ve gone in and rewritten it over and over again until I felt it was perfect, which I didn’t have the confidence to do on my previous records,’ Dua said.

‘Whatever I wrote on the day was pretty much what everyone heard. And now, this time around, I’m much more confident in myself as a songwriter, as a performer, how I want things to be and sound and look. And so I just went in, and I just digged a little deeper, and I changed things to the point that it felt perfect to me. And I feel proud of it,’ Dua said.

Dua declined to share either the release date or the name of her upcoming album.

Training Season will be released on Thursday by Warner Records as the second single ahead of Dua’s next album.

Dua previously released the album’s lead single Houdini in November.
