What are you listening to now?

From a (partial) psychological perspective - as are all

Dua Lipa's "Love Again" music video is rich with symbolic imagery that complements the song's themes of rediscovering love after heartbreak. Key symbols include:
  • Cowboy Imagery: Lipa's attire and the Western motifs evoke the unpredictability of love, akin to taming a wild horse. Her mechanical bull ride symbolises navigating the challenges of a new relationship.
  • Egg Symbolism: The recurring egg imagery references the "Clown Egg Registry," where clowns' unique makeup designs are preserved on eggs. This alludes to the vulnerability and foolishness one might feel when falling in love again.
  • Clown Makeup: By donning clown makeup, Lipa acknowledges the risk of appearing foolish in love, embracing the emotional vulnerability that accompanies opening oneself up to affection after past disappointments.
  • Invisible Elements: The invisible mechanical bull and horse suggest the intangible and unpredictable nature of love, highlighting the challenges in grasping and controlling romantic feelings.
These symbols collectively portray the complexities of re-entering the realm of love, emphasising themes of vulnerability, unpredictability, and the courage to embrace affection despite past heartbreaks.
