The "Illusion" video shows Lipa perform alongside water polo players and artistic swimmers at the Piscina Municipal de Montjuïc in Barcelona, Spain, as she sings about taking her "rose-colored glasses off" and seeing a love interest for what they are.
"I already know your type / tellin' me the things I like / Tryna make me yours for life, takin' me for a ride," she sings.
Lipa celebrated the song's release on Instagram.
"ILLUSION OUT NOW!!!!! I hope you love this song and video as much as we really truly loved and had fun making this," the star wrote.
"This song started everything for this album sonically and it was the first song I wrote with 'the band' (@carolineailin @dannylharle @tobiasjessojr @tameimpala) it has just made me even more excited for Radical Optimism in 3 WEEKS ~ aaaaahhh it's all bloody kicking off!!!" she said.
