Dua Lipa won't be making her music too personal
The 29-year-old star explained that she won't bare her soul on her records for the sake of getting "people's attention" and suggested that other artists are "ruthless" at exposing their private lives through their work.
In an interview with Anderson Cooper for '60 Minutes', Dua said: "It's something that I just naturally hold back.
"Some people are just so ruthless with their own private life that they decide to put it all out in a song because they know that it's gonna attract people's attention."
The 'Houdini' hitmaker continued: "For me, it was always important to make music that people really loved, not because I was putting someone out on blast.
"Not because I'm doing it for the clickbait at maybe someone else's expense."
Dua's second album 'Future Nostalgia' proved to be a major hit despite being released at the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and was delighted to be dubbed 'The Quarantine Queen'.
She said: "It didn't end up being, you know, the night club experience, but it ended up being the kitchen dance parties. The soundtrack to people's workouts at home, to kind of keep them sane during that time."
Dua is a lover of dance music but gets frustrated by the stigma that surrounds female artists in the genre.
The 'Levitating' singer said: "You're always met with some kind of pushback as a female artist if you're not, like, with a guitar or with a piano.
"Just like, 'Oh, she can't sing. Oh, it's all processed. Oh, it's this, oh it's whatever.'"
