Singer Dua Lipa has revealed her upcoming album is based on her own diary extracts, making it her most personal music to date. Lipa has spent two years working on her third studio album. She says she needed the time to gain “perspective” on her writing about “incidents” that she had written down in the heat of the moment, mirror.co.uk.

Speaking this week, Lipa said: “Most of the album was intimately in diary form, so I write about things when they happened. “I think how you feel about something 24 hours after an incident has happened – and then when you look back at it two weeks, a month, later – your perspective completely changes.” “So I think it’s important to always take a bit of a breather from something, look back on it, and then be, like, ‘All right, I’m ready’.”
