When you’ve experienced a manipulative relationship in the past, it becomes easier to identify red flags and beat a deceitful person at their own game. In Dua Lipa‘s new single, “Illusion”, the pop artist playfully sings about toying with them. This dance-pop song brings us closer to her upcoming album, Radical Optimism.

“‘Illusion’ was the first song Caroline, Danny, Tobias, Kevin and I worked on together and it really broke the ice for the record. It’s about knowing what you’re getting yourself into, but staying for the hell of it. The joke’s on them, it’s the fun of playing someone at their own game because ultimately you won’t fall for an illusion,” Dua Lipa explained.

The music video for “Illusion” features Dua Lipa and her dancers performing synchronized dance routines around a massive swimming pool, creating a colorful and eye-catching visual experience.

The 28-year-old singer delivered “Illusion” in an upbeat style and injected it with a summer vibe. The song delivers an exciting, body-rocking experience that everyone can enjoy.
