Lirik Lagu Training Season - Dua Lipa, Viral di TikTok

Are you
Someone that I can give my heart to?
Or just the poison that I'm drawn to?
It can be hard to tell the difference late at night
Play fair
Is that a compass in your nature?
Or are you tricky 'cause I've been there?
And baby, I don't need to learn that lesson twice

But if you really wanna go there
You should know I

Need someone to hold me close
Deeper than I've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo
Knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable
He's straight talking to my soul
Conversation overload
Got me feeling vertigo

Are you somebody who can go there?
'Cause I don't wanna have to show ya
If that ain't you, then let me know, yeah
'Cause training season's over

I try to see my lovers in a good light
Don't wanna do it just to be nice
Don't wanna have to teach you how to love me right
I hope it hits me like an arrow
Someone with some potential
Is it too much to ask for, who understands?

I need someone to hold me close
Deeper than I've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo
Knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable
He's straight talking to my soul
Conversation overload
Got me feeling vertigo

Are you somebody who can go there?
'Cause I don't wanna have to show ya
If that ain't you, then let me know, yeah
'Cause training season's over

Can you compete?
Now is your time
Run when you hear that whistle blow
Are you on my team
Or stuck on the sidelines
Waiting for someone to tell you to go?
For someone to tell you to go
You should know I

Need someone to hold me close
Deeper than I've ever known
Whose love feels like a rodeo
Knows just how to take control
When I'm vulnerable
He's straight talking to my soul (If that ain't you then let me know, yeah)
Conversation overload
'Cause training season's over

'Cause training season's over
Training season's over

Lagu "Training Season" milik Dua Lipa berbicara tentang evolusi dalam berkencan, di mana sang penyanyi menginginkan pasangan yang lebih dari sekadar 'peserta pelatihan' ataupun orang yang hanya memenuhi persyaratan dalam menjalin hubungan.

Setelah gagal dalam banyak hubungan, Dua Lipa menginginkan pasangan yang juga dapat menjadi teman hidup. Lagu "Training Season" pun menyiratkan harapan untuk menemukan seseorang yang benar-benar dapat memberikan kebahagiaan untuknya. 

Dua Lipa turut ambil bagian dalam lagu "Training Season", yang terinspirasi dari kehidupan pribadinya itu. Penyanyi kelahiran 1995 tersebut mengungkapkan bahwa ia telah beberapa kali gagal dalam hubungan sehingga tercetuslah ide untuk karyanya ini.

"Saya telah beberapa kali gagal dalam hubungan dan kencan terakhir adalah momen yang paling tidak mengenakkan. Keesokan paginya, saya tiba di studio dan Caroline [Ailin] serta Tobias [Jesso Jr.] lalu bertanya bagaimana kencan saya. Saya pun langsung menegaskan kalau 'Musim latihan sudah berakhir'," tutur Dua Lipa.

Berkat semua hal tersebut, Dua Lipa bisa tumbuh dengan setiap pengalaman itu. Tetapi, ia berpendapat bahwa "musim pelatihan" kemungkinan tak pernah berakhir untuk kita semua. Setelah beberapa kali gagal, ia hanya belajar untuk menemukan orang yang tepat.
