Lorde's new single dropped today!

After two years, the wait is finally over! Our very own NZ beauty, Lorde, has released the first highly-anticipated single from her long-awaited sophomore record, Melodrama. 

Green Light officially aired to the world this morning and we already cannot get enough! The Royals singer says the song gave the idea for her entire second album which recollects the last two fluorescent years of her life, which is based around her first major heartbreak and all the little life changes that begun to happen.. awww *sobbing*!

“I say ‘She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a liar.’ What the f*%k, 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 realised I was like, ‘How come this thing is coming out so joyous sounding?’ And then I realised 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.”

Lorde advocated the single on her own NZ territory earlier in the week - teasing fans with a car flashing a green strobe light, a green-lit brick wall playing a smidgen of the track, and some displayed lyrics on a green sign.  Cheeky!
