Lorde has made her much-anticipated return with new single ‘Green Light‘.
The effervescent pop banger was written with producer-du-jour Jack Antonoff and is the first foray from upcoming second LP- Melodrama.
The title and art for the sophomore album were revealed on Instagram yesterday. See below.
Speaking of the new cut in an interview with Zane Lowe, the popstar said: “The song is actually about a heartbreak and it’s not something that I really am used to writing about. It took me a while to be able to figure out how to write about that. It was my first major heartbreak. And the song is really about those moments kind of immediately after your life changes and about all the silly little things that you gravitate towards. I say, “She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a liar”. What the fuck, she thinks you like the beach?! You don’t like the beach! It’s those little stupid things. It sounds so happy and then the lyrics are so intense obviously. And I realized I was like, ‘how come this thing is coming out so joyous sounding?’ And I realized this is that drunk girl at the party dancing around crying about her ex boyfriend who everyone thinks is a mess. That’s her tonight and tomorrow she starts to rebuild. And that’s the song for me.”
