Lipa discussed topics ranging from her relationship with spirituality to releasing new music.

She said, "I'm trying to bring people together with music, trying to bring light, you know? There's a cosmic element to sharing songs that make people feel seen or understood."

In addition to focusing on the next phase of her music, Lipa is also putting a heavy focus on herself. "The next chapter of my life is about truly being good with being alone," she said.

"Some people on the internet were like, 'Oh, Dua went out for dinner on her own, blah blah, I do this all the time.,'" Lipa added. "And I think that's amazing if you do it all the time. You must be so confident. But it was a big step for me. I was nervous — like, what am I gonna do? I don't want to be on my phone. I want to know I can just be there for myself, you know?"
