In a YouTube interview, Lipa said about her album’s direction, “When I had taken interest with my own music, I would listen to Nelly Furtado, P!nk, and Destiny’s Child, but as I grew older I found my love for hip hop, so the main thing I listen to is rap…, I love the realness behind it, that’s why I try to also bind that into the music.” She further added, “This album has a mixture of that and a heavy influence with hip hop. Where I like to sing the rap, so I start my verses that are very fast paced then you hear a pop chorus.”
