"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., Martina Sorbara, Nicholas Gale, Shaun Frank, Steve Francis Richard Mastroianni, Yaakov Gruzman, and its producer, Kevin Parker. 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.

Dua Lipa began writing songs intended for her third studio album in 2021. [2] [3] In January 2022, she revealed that a large part of songwriting for it had been completed, and half of it was done by March that year. [4] [5] Lipa decided to move away from the disco sound of her second studio album, Future Nostalgia (2020), and write material evocative of 1970s-era psychedelia. [6] The follow-up album began to take shape in July 2022, when Lipa met Kevin Parker, whom she had been a fan of. She invited him to a studio session with Caroline Ailin, Danny L Harle, and Tobias Jesso Jr. at 5DB in London. After becoming comfortable with each other, they completed a song the same day and three by the weekend. [7]

Lipa, who had been taken out to a series of unimpressive dates, considered the last one "the final straw". [8] The following morning, she joined Ailin and Jesso Jr. in a studio and declared that "training season is over". [9] They wrote the song "Training Season" with Harle, Parker, Martina Sorbara, Nicholas Gale, Shaun Frank, Steve Francis Richard Mastroianni, and Yaakov Gruzman. [10] Lipa was inspired by the title's dual meaning, stating that it is about both informing men that she will no longer be training them about how to treat her as well as the completion of her own personal growth. [11] Lipa ended up writing 97 songs for the album; 8 of the 11 tracks finally included on it were written with Ailin, Harle, Jesso Jr., and Parker. [2] [3] [7]

Lipa released the song "Houdini" as the lead single from her third studio album in November 2023. [12] [13] She wore a sweater with the caption "Training Season" in an Instagram photo in January 2024. [14] On 24 January 2024, Lipa posted a TikTok video of her singing the song's chorus in a car. [11] [15] She premiered it at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards on 4 February 2024. [8] Warner Records released "Training Season" as the second single from the album 11 days later, accompanied by its extended, instrumental, and a cappella versions. [16] [17] The following day, Warner Music Group sent the song for radio airplay in Italy [18] and made it available on physical formats like 7-inch, cassette, and CD. [19] [20] [21] Warner Records promoted it to contemporary hit radio stations in the United States. [22] In March 2024, "Training Season" was supported by the release of its Live at the Brit Awards 2024, [23] extended instrumental, [24] London sessions, [25] acoustic, [26] and Chloé Caillet mix versions. [27] The album title was revealed to be Radical Optimism (2024) that month, [28] [29] and "Illusion" (2024) was released as the follow-up single. [30] [31]

Composition

"Training Season" is three minutes and 29 seconds long. [17] Parker produced and programmed the song, and he handled engineering alongside Cameron Gower Poole. He played bass guitar, drums, guitar, keyboards, percussion, and provided sound effects; Harle provided drum programming; and Ailin and Poole provided vocal production. It was recorded at 5DB Studios in London, Woodshed Recording in Malibu, California, and Parker's home studio in Los Angeles. Parker, Ailin, and Jesso Jr. delivered the background vocals. Josh Gudwin mixed the song, and Chris Gehringer mastered it at Sterling Sound in New York City. [10]

"Training Season" is a disco-pop song with influences of Eurodisco. [32] [33] [34] It has also been characterised as a pop song. [35] [36] The song employs a hook, disco beat, and guitar syncopations and is in the key of F minor. [37] [38] [39] "Training Season" includes girl group harmonies and a dancefloor pulse. [39] [40] Consequence 's Mary Siroky believed the song's disco-pop sound kept with that of "Houdini" and Future Nostalgia, while Beats Per Minute 's Lucas Martins thought it was "a better representation of [Radical Optimism's] sonic palette of synths, organic basslines, and guitar flourishes". [32] [41] Aspects of it received comparisons to the work of ABBA: its piano line to "Dancing Queen" (1976), [38] [42] the Middle Eastern-influenced melody to "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" (1979) and "Voulez-Vous" (1979), [38] and its robustness to "Lay All Your Love on Me" (1981). [43]

The lyrics of "Training Season" are about Lipa's demands from her romantic partners as she chides bad dates and underscores her self-worth, [44] [45] highlighting the importance of boundaries and ideals in relationships. [46] In the first verse, Lipa articulates her skepticism about a prospective partner and considers not proceeding with a relationship. [47] She yearns for someone who can provide emotional support, be in command when Lipa feels vulnerable, and who she can have meaningful conversations with. Lipa asks a person if he can meet these requirements because she no longer wants to have to guide people how to love her correctly: "Training season's over". [48] In the second verse, she takes a vexed tone and recalls how she undeservedly tried to be positive about her previous partners, hoping that a better suitor "hits me like an arrow". [49] Lipa questions the prospective partner about his commitment in the bridge, whether he would take initiative himself or someone would have to prompt him to act. [47] Siroky believed its theme of self-confidence resembled Lipa's 2017 single "New Rules". [32]

Critical reception

Upon release, music critics were positive about "Training Season" and opined it had commercial potential. Billboard 's Jason Lipshutz included the song in the magazine's Friday Music Guide, which predicts music that will gain popularity in playlists, and Pitchfork put it in their Selects playlist. [33] [50] Alex Gonzalez of Uproxx called it a "bouncy bop" that could potentially become "the ladies anthem of summer 2024", and Steffanee Wang of Nylon believed it was one of Lipa's best singles in a while. [37] [51] Along with the two other singles from Radical Optimism, Igor Bannikov of PopMatters described "Training Season" as "the most stadium-sized hits" on the album. [52] Lipshutz thought the song showcased her most powerful skills and people who enjoyed her 2020 single "Physical" would become fans of it. [33] Angie Martoccio of Rolling Stone described it as one of Lipa's strongest vocal performances. [53]

Critics commented on "Training Season" and the other singles in the context of the rest of Radical Optimism. They believed the songs have a similar club-friendly and catchy production, [54] [55] which formed the segment of the album most suited for parties. [56] Lisa Wright of DIY believed they constituted the more assertive and "after-hours" segment of Radical Optimism, which otherwise focused on turbulent romantic experiences, and Variety 's Steven J. Horowitz thought they enhanced the fleeting and feel-good quality of the album. [40] [57] The Arts Desk 's Joe Muggs praised the songwriting and believed the singles sounded like Lipa's other material. [58] Writing for Pitchfork, Laura Snapes believed the song had cluttered production which could use more breathing room, something she described as typical of Parker's work. [43]

Some other critics were positive about the composition of "Training Season". Aimee Phillips of Clash thought "the beats [were] darker, more textured and sexier, [and] the lyrics have more purpose, bringing us back to the strong and confident pop star image Dua Lipa has long portrayed". [54] Variety's Jem Aswad believed ABBA's influence was initially subdued but later realised by the piano flourishes, which formed "the best kind of tribute: nothing overt, but a sly, fun wink for fans who notice it". [38] Rania Aniftos of Billboard ranked it seventh among the album's eleven songs, claiming "if the lyrics aren't motivating enough, the thumping bass should do the trick." [59]

Commercial performance

"Training Season" debuted at number four on the UK Singles Chart and became Lipa's 15th top 10 single. [60] The song received a gold certification in the United Kingdom from the British Phonographic Industry. [61] It entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 27 on the chart issued for 2 March 2024. [62] "Training Season" debuted at number 11 on the Canadian Hot 100 issued for the same date and was certified platinum by Music Canada. [63] [64] In Australia, the song entered at number 12 and received a platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association.

Music video

Vincent Haycock directed the music video for "Training Season", which was released alongside the song. [97] [98] In it, Lipa drinks a coffee in a cafe, preoccupied by listening to several voicemails from former partners apologising and asking for a second chance. [45] [99] She remains undaunted, realizing that the men surrounding her are all trying to impress and capture her attention. [100] [48] Lipa begins to think about what she is looking for in a suitor. [99] She stays reserved as they begin to spin and the room descends into disorder. [100] [48] Upon its release, the video received over one million views within the first 12 hours of availability. [45] Marie Claire 's Sophia Vilensky praised Lipa's hair in it as "a casual sunlit red that looks natural as ever". [101]

Lipa opened the 66th Annual Grammy Awards with the first live performance of "Training Season" on 4 February 2024, as a mashup with "Houdini" and "Dance the Night" (2023). This preceded the release of "Training Season". [102] [103] [104] She wore a leather-and-mesh bodysuit with silver straps and knee-high platform boots. [105] [106] Lipa performed it as the first song, dancing on a giant silver jungle gym which was rotated by leather-clothed muscular male background dancers. [107] [108] The set employed blue stage lights and a vertiginous backdrop of mirrors and pyrotechnics. [109] [110] One line from "Dance the Night" was included, [111] [112] before she transitioned into singing "Houdini" in the middle of the stage and performed the dance sequence from its music video. [113] [114] It was well received by the audience. [114] [115] Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos believed the performance was a great way to open the show, [105] and some others praised the choreography. [108] [116] Gonzalez and Alex Hopper of American Songwriter were positive about the male dancers, with the latter including the performance in his three favourite live moments from Lipa. [117] [118] The Telegraph 's Sanghamitra Chatterjee and Parade 's Matthew Huff included it among the night's highlights, [108] [115] whereas USA Today 's Patrick Ryan ranked it ninth among the twelve performances. [110]

On 2 March, Lipa opened the Brit Awards 2024 by reprising "Training Season" [119] [120] in snug black leather shorts with a lace-up front, a black bra in a cropped leather jacket, and tall lace-up boots with thick block heels. She also wore layers of silver chain necklaces and sparkling rings. [121] [122] Lipa began by singing alone, but background dancers descended from the top during the second verse and performed Cirque du Soleil-inspired acrobatic tricks in the air. [123] [124] After the song's bridge, two aerial dancers seized her arms and lifted her off the ground and she levitated in the air. [123] Critics believed the performance captivated the audience, [121] [123] and Uproxx's Flisadam Pointer thought the aerial dance moves were impressive and Lipa displayed stamina. [35]

Lipa recorded a live performance of "Training Season", which was called the "London Sessions". [125] She sang the song at the Time 100 Gala in April 2024, [126] and she reprised it alongside a band at the Maida Vale Studios in London the following month. [127] [128] [129] Lipa included it as the first song on the set list of her 2024-2025 concert tour, the Radical Optimism Tour, [130] and performed it at festivals like NOS Alive and Mad Cool. [131] [132] [133] On 28 June 2024, she opened her Glastonbury Festival 2024 set with "Training Season"; [134] [135] it began with stationary dancers, evoking a dystopian montage reminiscent of The Running Man (1987), before Lipa walked out to a clip of Peter Fonda from the 1966 film The Wild Angels . [136] [137] NME 's Liberty Dunworth praised the atmosphere created just a few minutes into Lipa's set, and BBC News's Mark Savage believed the choreography was on the level of a proper award show performance.

Dance-pop is a subgenre of pop music that originated in the late 1970s to early 1980s. It is generally uptempo music intended for nightclubs with the intention of being danceable but also suitable for contemporary hit radio. Developing from a combination of dance and pop with influences of disco, post-disco and synth-pop, it is generally characterised by strong beats with easy, uncomplicated song structures which are generally more similar to pop music than the more free-form dance genre, with an emphasis on melody as well as catchy tunes. The genre, on the whole, tends to be producer-driven, despite some notable exceptions.
