Dua Lipa says there is so much fun in being single.

The 22-year-old “New Rules” singer is on the cover of Elle UK‘s June 2018 issue, out on May 9. She told the magazine that she’s a “firm believer in love because her parents’ “good relationship” has set the standard high. Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris recently dropped the video for their new song “One Kiss.” The video is currently exclusive to Apple Music, though Lipa has assured fans it will be widely available soon.

Read excerpts from her Elle UK interview below…

On the benefits of being single: “There’s so much fun in being single. When I’m single, I end up having so much more time to do a lot of other stuff… I think you learn so much more about yourself when you’re completely alone and you have no one to go to for help for certain things. You learn to rely on yourself in a different way.”

On saying “I love you”: “As much as I tell myself not to rush into things or be careful to say I love you too fast without really knowing if there’s any substance in the relationship, I think it’s really important to go with your gut. Life is too short not to say, ‘I love you’”

On love: “I’m such a firm believer in love. I blame my parents for that, because they have a really good relationship and I think they’ve set my standards high.”
