Reflecting on the song’s creation, Lipa shared, “‘Illusion’ really set the tone for the entire record. It’s about recognizing the game you’re playing but choosing to stay for the thrill. You won’t fall for an illusion.”

The reception has been phenomenal, with “Illusion” amassing over three million views within just 24 hours of its release. Fans are eagerly anticipating the full album drop on May 3rd, as Lipa herself expressed her excitement on Instagram, sharing, “I hope you love this song and video as much as we truly loved making it!”
