The Grammy winner sings, “You should know that I need someone to hold me / Deeper than I’ve ever known / Whose love feels like a rodeo / Knows how to just take control / When I’m vulnerable, speak directly to my soul , conversation overload / I feel dizzy / I need someone who can go there / Cause I don’t want to show it to you / If you don’t call me baby / Cause the training season is over.”
In a press release, the pop star shared what inspired her latest song. “I was on a series of bad dates, and the last one was the last straw,” said Lipa. “I arrived at the studio the next morning [songwriters] Caroline [Ailin] and Tobias [Jesso Jr.] asking me how everything went, and I immediately declared ‘TRAINING SEASON IS OVER’, and like the best ‘day after’ conversations with your friends, we laughed a lot and everything settled down quickly.”

“And while it’s obviously about that feeling of being completely done with people…men in particular in this case, how do you date; it’s also about my training season being over and me growing with every experience” , she continued.
“I have never felt more confident, clear or empowered. And while the training season may never be over for any of us, you begin to see the beauty in finding someone to experience it with. You stop looking for trainees and become more interested in having someone where you are and with whom you can grow.”

Before the release of “Training Day”, she said in an interview for Jimmy Kimmel Live!that she “wrote 97 songs” for the project in a physical notebook purchased from CVS.
“I started writing for this album in 2021 and I just wanted to write down my ideas,” Lipa told host Jimmy Kimmel. “So I went to CVS and I just bought a random notebook. If I’d known how important that book would be, I might have gotten a fancier one.”
