Dua Lipa revealed that she has written a whopping 97 songs for her upcoming third studio album during an appearance Thursday on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The 28-year-old pop star looked stunning in a long black dress as she promoted her song Training Season which will be released next week after singing it at the recent Grammy Awards.

Jimmy, 56, asked Dua about her writing process after she shared the lyrics to Training Season with the talk show.

“When you write these songs, do you write them down in a book?” Jimmy asked.

'Yes. Well, it was the first time I did it. I started writing for this album in 2021 and I just wanted to write down my ideas. So I went to CVS and just bought a random notebook. If I had known how important that book would have been, I might have gotten a fancier book,” Dua said, referring to the major pharmacy and general merchandise chain.

“Did you really do a CVS?” Jimmy asked.

“I like CVS,” Dua said. 'I'm obsessed with it. There's nothing like a CVS where you go in and buy a bunch of stuff you don't need.”

Jimmy then showed off the actual book that contains all of Dua's thoughts and lyrics for the album.

'It contains every song I wrote for this album. …I wrote 97 songs,” Dua said.

Jimmy was impressed with her work.

'Yes. And just because I have this, in a way it has now become a kind of relic of mine,” Dua said.

“Aren't you afraid this will be lost somehow?” Jimmy asked.

“Yes, petrified,” Dua admitted.

Jimmy joked that he might run away with the book.

“I'm sweating at the idea right now,” Dua said.

Jimmy said it was “pretty impressive” that Dua used a “really old-fashioned” technique instead of humming songs into her phone or just typing the lyrics.

'Yes, I loved it when I started, but then I couldn't stop. I feel very lucky to have it,” Dua said.

Jimmy asked if any of the 97 songs were terrible.

“Yes,” Dua replied. 'About 80 pieces.'

Jimmy joked that this makes it easier to shrink them.

'Yes, exactly. No, as soon as I write a song I know if it's good or not, or if it's almost good. Then I would rework it. With every song on this album, unlike any other record I've done, I rewrote it over and over again until I felt like it was perfect, which I didn't have the confidence to do on my previous records. Dua said.

“What I wrote that day was pretty much what everyone heard. And now, this time, I have a lot more confidence in myself as a songwriter, as an artist, how I want things to be and sound and look. And so I just went into it, and I dug a little deeper, and I changed things to the point where it felt perfect to me. And I'm proud of it,” Dua said.

Dua declined to share the release date or name of her upcoming album.

Training Season will be released on Thursday by Warner Records as the second single ahead of Dua's next album.

Dua released the album's first single Houdini earlier in November.
