Lead singer of the alternative rock band LANY, Paul Klein was romantically involved with Dua for a bittersweet five months. The relationship was short-lived but, Paul confessed in an interview that "that was the first time I've ever been in love, and I never felt anything like that in my life."
A few weeks following his split from Dua in January 2018, Paul consequently found himself writing music as a heartache cure. As a result, LANY had their second album, Malibu Nights.
