“A friend introduced me to the term Radical Optimism a couple of years ago. It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life. It struck me—the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm,” Dua stated, talking about the album. She continued, “At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions.”

A statement about the album said, “Inspired by Dua’s self-discovery, ‘Radical Optimism’ is an album that taps into the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. The hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings that previously threatened to crush your soul become milestones as you choose optimism and move gracefully through the chaos.”
According to reports, the album was also influenced by the rawness, honesty, confidence, and independence of ’90s Britpop, as well as the energy of Dua Lipa’s hometown of London. Writing 97 tracks for her third album, Lipa recently disclosed. She described the record as “psychedelic pop-infused,” claiming influences from Gorillaz, Massive Attack, Oasis, Blur, Moby, and Primal Scream. In the follow-up to 2020’s Future Nostalgia, she said she tried to “capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun.” Lipa began her performance at the BRIT awards earlier this month with a rendition of Training Season, which is set to be part of Radical Optimism. In the evening, the performer won an award for best “Pop Act.”
