She wrote royals and everyone of that age group and everyone of that cultural fell in love with it. She writes green light and it fits so well with the same community of people. Lorde is a true growing artist that can grow with the people who listen to her. Not saying she can only cater to those people, but she surely does know how to cater to an idea, a moment, or an emotion that many people can relate to and reminisce about or feel in the moment.
@@graemehenderson1743 Eric above wasnt saying that the music was only for a certain age group. He's right though the youth of that time grew with her... actually grew with her
Bryce Exactly. Im not saying people of other ages can’t enjoy the music and relate to it. Im saying that there’s always that certain age group that can understand SO MUCH more yk?
@@samwill5 She tells her partner things, but because she's an artist these words are then put into songs. Thus they're no longer private and the crowd (city) sings them back

And if he doesn't and goes to fix it, he's gonna be the one who came in it ;)
What a brilliant song. She so perfectly captures that raw, frenetic energy of youth and that bittersweet euphoria in heartbreak. She's one of my most favourite artists of all time.
"I'm waiting for it, a green light. I want it...", reminds me of my adult angst of getting home from work. oh these feels. :'( right in the... nah mate
I think we love Lorde cause musically she precisely conveys how every teen and young adult feels in current zeitgeist. Her music is about self-explore while growing up and trying to understand the world. It portrays her fearlessness, idealism and struggles as well as mine. That’s why I always think she is such a symbol of one generation that sees the world and life itself very differently than any generation before.
Wow. You're right, music has never been about or meant that to any other generation in the history of music. It only means that to the generation of kids born with a smartphone in their hands.
Very Intelligent post with some really accurate points about that teen angst that so many of us went through during those years, penned perfectly by one of the most underrated and genuine stars of the modern era. I can tell by your post that english isnt your first language but you are able to convey yourself so clearly and articulately that I'd say your capabilities with the language are beyond many native speakers.
I'm a 62 year old man. I simply love her music because she is honest, heartfelt and magnificent. The shades of expression and the technology available will vary through your life, but truthful artistry will always ring the bell pure and clear.
Jesus has changed my life, He answered my prayers, i had been praying for years so I can get baptized and He answered that prayer when the time was right. Both my parent use to drink alot and plus my dad use to smoke cigarettes and I use to suffer because of that my dad has also fall away from his faith at that time but Jesus sent one of His followers to my dads work and then he use to talk to my dad about His life back together with Jesus to build a relationship with Him and that same year around Christmas a bit after my dad got sick and the follower of Jesus prayed for my dad to get better and he did, but while he was sick he did not smoke or drink and even after that he never drink or smoke again Jesus has freed him from that trap which he was in since he was a teenager. My dad has built his relationship with Jesus and now is free of his past and lives for Jesus. After I got baptized I still was not close enough to Jesus but after a few months the Holy Spirit who is living inside me found a way to make me take my relationship with Jesus and I did. Later on I had my final exams and I barely studied, i told Jesus that He is my priority and it my grades doesnt matter however I had faith in that i would pass because of Jesus and when I got result o saw He did not let me down and I pass all my subjects only because of Him. A time I was praying for a job and the week after in church a opportunity came by. I also applied online for jobs and ask my uncle for help in finding one and one day i kneeled down and prayed and within a few minutes to an hour i got a call from my uncle saying he got me an interview and later that day i got a call from one i applied online. The next week i prayed on my knees again to get the job that i applied online for and aboutb5 in the evening i got a call saying i got that job. Jesus has even given me thing that i didnt praying for because He knows my heart. Everytime i had fallen away (i still do) He always brings me back to Him. He has never failed me and never will. Jesus said if we ask for anything in His Name we will get it.
@@rafaelasaad2818 I watched your vid and now I have "Broadcast the boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it..." in my head. I loved the track and instantly subscribed.
I've been to a lot of shows but this song was my favorite concert moment of all time. Everyone single person was losing their mind dancing. I'll cherish the memory forever!
For those of you who are complaining that Lorde sold out or fell into the pop machine, this is far from manufactured pop. This track has 4 different melodies that blend well into each other. A song this complex is nowhere close to manufactured pop. This is closer to indie pop than straight up pop. She's also 20, there's no way she's gonna write the same music as 16.
JMLRH lol I'm not explaining just because it's Lorde. I'm explaining because many people don't understand that pop has many subgenres and you can't just categorize it all as "machine manufactured pop"
yall shes said in interviews (this morning on triple j in australia) that her album is a mix of her old and new style of music. she's very particular and LOVES to perfect the beat and rhythm of her songs -- base sound to her is very important. her album is going to have aLOT of her original style as well as the new (which imo, is still really good!) artists evolve! but she's said herself that she still very much has, and loves, the slow soft beats we got in pure heroine
This song is weirdly aesthetic. When everything seems to be closing in and makes me feel trapped, this song liberates me; provides an escapade. Edit: Thanks for the 1k likes, my first time ever. More power to you all!
IT's definitely more than just an escape, it's an invitation of a lifestyle! Listen to the lyrics, it describes not just and idea but a story and reflection! This means Lorde has probably got the lyrics from personal experience. Experiencing someone else's thoughts or ideas is pretty cool, eh?
The song represents, to me anyway, of getting out of a relationship with a person you thought you’d be with forever at the start and the other person has moved on ( she thinks you love the beach....) and the green light is the metaphor for being able to finally move on and let go of that person you loved so much and it’s the feeling of knowing you need to let go and just waiting till you can finally give up.
"But I hear sounds in my mind, brand new sounds in my mind" as the song shifts to a piano beat she's never used before. She's literally telling us that she's evolving into new territory as an artist with this record. Also take into account the fact that she's 20 years old now, and with that comes the excitement of taking on the world as a young adult. This makes me think about college nights, when you felt like you had the green light to do anything you wanted before sunrise. She was still a teenager when she wrote Pure Heroine, and I think it's naturally a darker record because you feel kind of trapped and broody during those years of your life. When you come of age, there's an intoxicating freedom to it initially, especially in her case as a successful singer with money and credentials. To me this song represents that excitement, a starry-eyed lust to celebrate the beginning of the rest of her life. I'm so curious to hear the rest of the album, and I'm excited for her that she wants to show us this new energy!
are you kidding me? We can't even give compliments anymore without people complaing? We say we have progressed, but how far have we really where we still deal with this shit.
My favorite thing is when people complain about a change in music style, and then when an artist doesn't change their style those same people complain that it is boring.
Lorde is so talented...Green Light is an amazing song with poetic lyrics and inspired music..the bridge of the song is one of the most adequate,compelling and moving I can remember,and I am 66 years old and listened & played tons of music.Lorde is a reference
Far out, I grew up with this chick in school, not that we were friends but it's so nice seeing her doing what she loves and being so fucking happy about it. Go Ellaaaaaaaaa
Some people complain because this sounds different than before. Here's some food for thought for you: David Bowie, the music legend himself, called Lorde "The future of music." Bowie was notorious for being a chameleon. Every one of his projects, from Ziggy Stardust to The Labyrinth, feel completely unique. They are all different and capture a different side of Bowie, but he is still present in all of these. They are different, but still cohesive. How does this tie into Lorde? Even though this is different, it's just a page from Bowie's book. It may be different than Pure Heroine, but that doesn't mean she's selling out. This is just another aspect of her, while still bursting from her own mind. Let's not bash her change in direction. Instead, let's celebrate that she's not going to stay in a niche simply because fans want her to. She's still exploring, and I'm excited to see where the path leads.
The last 40s actually sounds like Nine Inch Nails. He often had this thing where some kinda anthemic synth comes in towards the end. NIN's last-album-so-far was kinda happy actually
dude this song gives me full body chills, it makes me want to jump up and down, and i feel electric. amazing beautiful song, truly a work of art. she is so unique and nothing like i’ve heard before, that’s what makes her special. spectacular and amazingly immaculate
When I first heard this, I didn't know how I felt about it, but I heard it a few more times, and then I couldn't stop listening to it throughout the night while doing my work. I kept getting up and dancing at the chorus. I was literally having the time of my life at the almost subtle drop. I understand if this isn't your type of music, but to be honest, this is literally giving me life. At 0:50 when you think the chorus will begin, but it gets slow and its the pre-chorus, I honestly love it because it teases you. And can we just talk about the lyrics in the refrain?! So good! If your not into pop, not sure if you'll like this, but I love it because it's different than a lot of other songs coming out right now. Pure Heroine was amazing, but I think this is going to be a different album, but different in a good, exciting way.
Tramp Oline she confirmed in an interview that she was taking all that time to make this album different from Pure Heroine and also confirmed that not all the songs are like Green light so everyone who is disappointed with Green Light don't worry ;) P.S I'm not one of those lol I'd give a thumbs up even if lorde farts and records it
she released "Pure Heroine" in 2013 and she released "Melodrama" in 2017. That is a four year gap. If she follows this four year gap, THEN A NEW ALBUM IS COMING 2021, THIS YEAR
I wonder if her magenta dress was chosen purposefully for the green light. Magenta and Green are opposites in the world of optics. when magenta is placed under green light, it would appear black.
Her music tends to feel really expansive and epic. The piano, take, is like opening up this big world she created and I think her dancing, which everyone mocks, actually is really in tune with this idea. There's sounds like this on each song, where it feels like it's building, metaphorically building herself up (the message of the whole album). The Louvre has that Flume-produced chorus section, Sober with that subtle pounding beat before the drop, Hard Feelings when it starts to distort, etc. She's so incredibly talented.
"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." Lorde is my spirit animal
@@a.frederick Seriously, I'm not even 20 yet and it's blowing my mind how Melodrama is 6 years old now?? Umm _that_ was the "new" album, wat the fukk !!
I'm also 16 🤭 I've been listening to lorde for such a short amount of time but I heard this song and HAD to listen to her honestly 😩 Edit: its been 3 weeks. I am obsessed with homemade dynamite 😭
I can admit it....this song is actually....really good... The lyrics are fantastic, the musical choices made within the song are perfection, the musical build-up towards the end...just wow!
HaleyVic17 she's the greatest pop artist of all time, her lyrics mean so much more than anyone else's and she's so much closer to us and the lyrics in principal are so different from anyone else's and they're so poetic
Why do people keep commenting saying that she sounds like Nicky Minaj?!?! The lyrics, music, beat, melody, choreography, cinematography, and lack of bare ass doesn't remind me of Minaj at all.
We are one as heads of the family of Light and we are busy trying to get everyone to wake up and return to their proper world set. This way we can bring the everlasting peace to you all.
I felt this. Pure Heroine was my soundtrack for my pre teens, Melodrama was for my teens (I'm 19) and when she releases whatever's next it'll be for my 20's, aka Adulthood.
Let's just appreciate the fact that this is the exact representation of how everyone would like to dance, when walking down the streets with them headphones plugged in and this song playing quite loud.
the way she sings in this track is an aggressive way but somehow holding back a bit of emotions. its breathtaking. not only that, but the beginning of the music video where shes looking towards the camera but not directly at it gives me a sense of mystery and curiousity, making me want to hear more of her words
Hey Lorde fans! I have just released my selfmade debut album CRASTI LAND a few weeks ago. I am a big Lorde fan myself, her minimal electronic music (especially during her first years) really inspired me and a couple of songs on the album, so I thought I'd share the news with other fans. I am struggling to get listeners despite my hard work so, kindly and respectfully, I would appreciate every listen & review! Have a powerful day!
When you your 13 and you make your first Gmail-Google account and name it sooo stupid and 7 years later you still don't change it and you think how stupid you were back then. +The_Glamest_FuckGirl
Exactly. and it's not that far from what she did in the past. If you want more of the same, the music industry is saturated with generic pop just for you ;)
The voice in this song isn't the high-pitched revengeful one like "My life is so perfect without you, I have a much better boyfriend than you, my life is way more glamorous without you". The one in this piece is a voice that shouts "my life is a mess, and I love it as it is, because I finally love myself and I don't need anyone to dance on my own celebrating who I am". It's not about partying over the perfect life, It's about celebrating our mistakes and disappointments and the wonderful act of celebrating everything anyways, even if things aren't perfect.
Black Horse you know that she is in fact wearing make up right? It's more gold and shinny, rather than the dark one she used to wear, and honestly I think she looks so good, she seems more young and comfortable? and her hair is probs like that bc she has to look like she went partying, and most woman with curly hair either make their hair straight or they try to tame their curls. Sorry for this long reply and my English, and I ho pe you have a wonderful day/night
She hasn't released anything in 3 years and she comes back better than before. She must've took time off to find who she is before coming back in the music industry. She has a new sound, a new look, and new beats. I love this new Lorde.
Timothy Ryan A brand new sound from mind :v She's growing to adult now Even tho I used to be a hater cause Royals, now I'm not hating anymore But I'm not a fans yet Will she release a new album?
I can't say I don't like it. It isn't what I expected, it sounds less dark and deep that the last album, but that's the idea of releasing a new one, isn't it?
if by know you dont get that singles aren't always the most deep songs you're a moron. she has yet to release a ful album. besides, expecting an artist to take a long ass break and come back sounding the same its stupid. she writes her own music, maybe katy perry can sound the same along 10 years but ella grows with her music.
why is lorde always gone when we most need her
She's the Avatar

Lorde is so talented...Green Light is an amazing song with poetic lyrics and inspired music..the bridge of the song is one of the most adequate,compelling and moving I can remember,and I am 66 years old and listened & played tons of music.Lorde is a reference
Far out, I grew up with this chick in school, not that we were friends but it's so nice seeing her doing what she loves and being so fucking happy about it. Go Ellaaaaaaaaa
xsd 3 not really she was only 16 when she dropped Pure Heroin
xsd 3 Tf
Laura Mackey REALLY?!? OMG THATS SOOO COOL.
How was she like?
Ayyyyyyyeeeeeee you went to TGS? Lol I'm still there.
ok, but like the cinematography and the color scheme in this music video is kinda amazing
shot on film not video
Some people complain because this sounds different than before. Here's some food for thought for you:
David Bowie, the music legend himself, called Lorde "The future of music." Bowie was notorious for being a chameleon. Every one of his projects, from Ziggy Stardust to The Labyrinth, feel completely unique. They are all different and capture a different side of Bowie, but he is still present in all of these. They are different, but still cohesive.
How does this tie into Lorde? Even though this is different, it's just a page from Bowie's book. It may be different than Pure Heroine, but that doesn't mean she's selling out. This is just another aspect of her, while still bursting from her own mind.
Let's not bash her change in direction. Instead, let's celebrate that she's not going to stay in a niche simply because fans want her to. She's still exploring, and I'm excited to see where the path leads.
Ceeryle Brown well said 👌
Ceeryle Brown I love this
totally.. even hitler said lorde will be the future of the füher ehmmmmmm........I mean future of music
Ceeryle Brown her only hit song before this pile of dung was royals and that sucked to.
pavan dutt if you try to be funny using German words then do it correctly
One of the best songs I’ve heard in my life
One of the Best albums I've heard in My life❤
This song pumps me with a sort of depressive but exciting energy - and it's perfect.
Profile pic is Melodrama 😂😂😂. I love it
same girl! I love it
i know right, i came three times to this on my cat. the self cleaning cum rag.
no what ide like 2 pump u we swifty mmmmmm lol xxx
James Oakley ...
I don't think this is generic at all - it's just a happier, more upbeat version of her usual sound. It's brilliant
Veronica M agreed! I freakin love it!!
Veronica M i very much agree with you,i see her new direction but i still recognize her signature and i think it's genius
Veronica M YES
The last 40s actually sounds like Nine Inch Nails. He often had this thing where some kinda anthemic synth comes in towards the end. NIN's last-album-so-far was kinda happy actually
i think she's doing a "marina and the diamonds" by using a happy upbeat instrumental but dark lyrics
dude this song gives me full body chills, it makes me want to jump up and down, and i feel electric. amazing beautiful song, truly a work of art. she is so unique and nothing like i’ve heard before, that’s what makes her special. spectacular and amazingly immaculate
i. know. right..
Try it w white 😁👏😝
@Kovu Pride haha i know, but it’s true
This is poetic, damn poetic.
I mostly listen to metal, but I came across this masterpiece and I'm so glad I did. Why haven't I been listening to Lorde's music all this time?
Melodrama is a masterpiece! Glad it found you
same!
Im an oldschool heavy metal dude but female vocalists are sometimes just beautiful theyre my weakness haha. Regina Spektor is also alright
Same bro
yup! metalhead here too, but we all need a lil dancey dance song every once in a while and lorde does it pretty well!
2020 and this song is still a masterpiece and my jam.
same 😂
@@_sadgirl_8730 i also like sad girl (from ultraviolence)
I'll get your toast
Get it? Jam, no okay😊😐
@@cannedtuna6114 😂😂
I oooh sis you've got good taste like me 😂
Bowie once said that Lorde is the future of music. What can I say, you see it yourself.
“All of our heroes fading” is about him😪
i love how the driver is just standing next to the car waiting for lorde to finish dancing.
"is she done yet? *takes a glance* oh- not yet."
Ashley Jung Lorde herself even commented on how ridiculous this was in an interview lmao
Time to call the fuzz
Lol
Awesome
I noticed that too😂😂
One of the most iconic music videos ever made, it’s not even up for debate
When I first heard this, I didn't know how I felt about it, but I heard it a few more times, and then I couldn't stop listening to it throughout the night while doing my work. I kept getting up and dancing at the chorus. I was literally having the time of my life at the almost subtle drop. I understand if this isn't your type of music, but to be honest, this is literally giving me life. At 0:50 when you think the chorus will begin, but it gets slow and its the pre-chorus, I honestly love it because it teases you. And can we just talk about the lyrics in the refrain?! So good! If your not into pop, not sure if you'll like this, but I love it because it's different than a lot of other songs coming out right now. Pure Heroine was amazing, but I think this is going to be a different album, but different in a good, exciting way.
Tramp Oline That's true! I didn't know how I felt about it at first either, but then I loved it!
Tramp Oline aaaaaaahhhh I'm sure!!!!
OKAY ME TOO!!!1
Tramp Oline she confirmed in an interview that she was taking all that time to make this album different from Pure Heroine and also confirmed that not all the songs are like Green light so everyone who is disappointed with Green Light don't worry ;)
P.S I'm not one of those lol I'd give a thumbs up even if lorde farts and records it
You really thought the chorus would be at 0:50? lol... no comment.
She's back and already killing the game 🙌🏼✨ took me a couple of listens but I'm loving this track!
Lij Gilmour yeeee go lord
Lij Gilmour uy
Lij Gilmour same i was like "wtf lorde" at first now im fucking hooked.
Lij Gilmour Hey! Can you please take a quick look at my channel? And don't forget to subscribe!! 💖🙏🏼
Haven Hey! Can you please take a quick look at my channel? And don't forget to subscribe!! 💖🙏🏼
she released "Pure Heroine" in 2013 and she released "Melodrama" in 2017. That is a four year gap. If she follows this four year gap, THEN A NEW ALBUM IS COMING 2021, THIS YEAR

WINE COMMENT
Yeah but what if it gets longer every time
Yes you are right
An unforgettable song here. And i like her grave voice so much when she says "cause honey i"
This song makes me want to go out on the streets at night listening to music until dawn
blurryfacesz a I'm already doing that 😂😂
gets shot in the progress
blurryfacesz a totally!
blurryfacesz a likewise
blurryfacesz a listening to music on the street all night until dawn is one of my life dreams 😢 it's so stupid how I can't have something as simple
I wonder if her magenta dress was chosen purposefully for the green light. Magenta and Green are opposites in the world of optics. when magenta is placed under green light, it would appear black.
Bet it was chosen purposefully.
Great insight, I agree it must have been done on purpose - Lorde is all about the subtleties of art
Nope definitely a conicidence, she's not that smart. But you are.. nice educating us comment readers.
@@navinator6 Nah I just learned that in my physics class and this woman is a total genius!
Nav in why would you even say that? troll.
Legit one of the best pop songs I've ever heard. Emotional. Anthemic. Catchy. Timeless. Her talent is unreal
THIS IS NOT JUST A SONG... IT'S A FEELING, THAT FEELING.
This was robbed of a grammy
Please don't remind me lol

i'd be so glad if Lorde fans would check out "The Louvre's" music video I've directed on my channel. Help this video creator to grow hahaha thanks!!
Nope

this song makes me feel alive and free for some reason
omg me tooooo
zilan s SAME!!!
Same here 😁
zilan s Right!!Like i wanna pack my shit and go somewhere!!
this song makes me want to jizz into peoples letterboxes.
I still listen to this masterpiece till this day. Both her albums are iconic
Came back to Melodrama, I wasn't a fan of Solar Power
I still like solar power
Fallen fruit,the path and oceanic feelings but not stoned at the nail salon
Her music tends to feel really expansive and epic. The piano, take, is like opening up this big world she created and I think her dancing, which everyone mocks, actually is really in tune with this idea. There's sounds like this on each song, where it feels like it's building, metaphorically building herself up (the message of the whole album). The Louvre has that Flume-produced chorus section, Sober with that subtle pounding beat before the drop, Hard Feelings when it starts to distort, etc. She's so incredibly talented.
ok man
I like that her dancing is so unapologetically white. Lol.
Yes, works really well for the AFL highlights and scenes after the game.
"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." Lorde is my spirit animal
Manon Blmy lool
Millennial drama
well, the album is called melodrama
Your spirit animal is a fucking moron? That makes sense because you're a fucking moron.
jkfdkjjd 😂
I'll never get tired of this song, Lorde. Now that it's almost 5 years since you've dropped it, I think we can state it's a real masterpiece
Swear I thought it came out in 2021 … idk how I missed this song
word. its so good
church of dance
I remember listening to this song when I was 10 now I’m 16. I can’t believe how fast time has passed by, forever will be a lorde fan!
same!!
bro i'm 25 i feel old
@@a.frederick Seriously, I'm not even 20 yet and it's blowing my mind how Melodrama is 6 years old now?? Umm _that_ was the "new" album, wat the fukk !!
I'm also 16 🤭 I've been listening to lorde for such a short amount of time but I heard this song and HAD to listen to her honestly 😩
Edit: its been 3 weeks. I am obsessed with homemade dynamite 😭
Lol i'm 21
Can we just appreciate she released new music? At least she's not naked or singing the same words over and over again. We should be proud of that.
Mochigurumi hECKYEA . WHATEVER YOUR PROFILE PIC AND NAME IS
Mochigurumi shade towards Katy Perrys generic and bland single lmao. Katy The Flop
Shinomiya - Kun katy is sooooo overrated.
I KNOW RIGHT. People only like shit lyrics that say "work, work, work, work" like 10000000 times
I agree!! (But that was a bomb ass song tho)
I love how the chauffeur @ 1:22 is just standing there smoking like "Ah shit, she's at it again."
Perfection.
HAHAKSN THISS
He's so cool tho. he just stood there smoking probably enjoying the song
I think it's a visual reference to Blue Velvet (Lynch), so more a dispassionate dismissal of sexual trauma, but honestly just speculating.
MAHTAB the uber driver!
When she said “i am Lorde yah yah yah”
I felt that
Oh my god they killed Kenny!
Thomas Cooney bro😂😂😂
NGL I really felt it when she said “going bathroom on a Wednesday”
@@AP-wd6zs you bastards
😭😣
This song is so addicting yet painful to listen to. It’s about heartbreak and depression. It’s like a sweet punch to the face.
This is fucking magnificent.
Did you just reply to your own comment?lol
ata
OMG HI I LOVE UR CHANNEL!
holy shit I know right? I've had it on repeat all day at work.
Melanie Murphy seriously it's fucking amazing.. can't stop playing it
People complaining that this "isn't Lorde": It is Lorde. This isn't Lorde from Pure Heroine anymore, this is Lorde from Melodrama.
BlackKnight777 👏
(Y) Exactly
BlackKnight777 that's a shame
BlackKnight777 yes
we told you this is melodrama.
I normally have to hear songs more times until I like them... this time I was instantly amazed
Vne same
Vne Same
SAME
Vne Yea..
Vne u act like you've never heard A Lorde song before
HAPPY 7 YEARS GREEN LIGHT 💚
I can admit it....this song is actually....really good...
The lyrics are fantastic, the musical choices made within the song are perfection, the musical build-up towards the end...just wow!
So hot
HaleyVic17 she's the greatest pop artist of all time, her lyrics mean so much more than anyone else's and she's so much closer to us and the lyrics in principal are so different from anyone else's and they're so poetic
+Robbie Coombes, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
G.g.limmer shallow lover#lie!* I know she's honestly the best thing ever and she deserves to be on the same level as David Bowie
When the world ends, this better be the last song we play.
anything else or i’m suing😤😤
I would rather listen to team
Team is a better choice tho.
It's going to be viva la Vida that will be played when the world ends but you can hope for whatever makes you happy 😊
I’d rather listen to team but that’s a good choice
Why do people keep commenting saying that she sounds like Nicky
Minaj?!?! The lyrics, music, beat, melody, choreography, cinematography,
and lack of bare ass doesn't remind me of Minaj at all.
Lmao nobody commented that?
Oh
Blackouts2B nobody commented that......but ok
she does NOT sound like Minaj.
an insult
i literally grew up with lorde. i’ll never forget her, or her influence. her music has grown with me. thank you lorde🍀
can lorde release a new album already? the third phase of my adulthood needs a soundtrack please
We are one as heads of the family of Light and we are busy trying to get everyone to wake up and return to their proper world set. This way we can bring the everlasting peace to you all.
Third phase of adult hood 😂 why is dis so accurate. Lmao
The Original Joker hello are you on crack????? Go away
I felt this. Pure Heroine was my soundtrack for my pre teens, Melodrama was for my teens (I'm 19) and when she releases whatever's next it'll be for my 20's, aka Adulthood.
I feel like I'm so far from her targeted demographic but it's weird because I Love Her lyrics.
This gets better the more you listen to it
TRUE
Anibaedan no it doesn't
Anibaedan Yes, It's growing on me!
Anibaedan no it doesn't. it's so basic.
all of her music is like that
EU TOU TREMENDO AAAAA BRASIILL CADÊ VOCÊS AAAAAA

Edwhi 26 AAAAAA
euuuu
CHORANDOOO
VEEEEM MOSNTRO
came back to listen to this in 2025🥹
this was worth the 4-3 year wait.
Ikr! This is the best song from Lorde, in my opinion! Can't wait until MeloDrama!
Panic! With 21 Crybabys At The Discø felt like 20
technically 3 because this is her song with no features
i guess :/
i just said it wasso weird and i got yelled at.
Let's just appreciate the fact that this is the exact representation of how everyone would like to dance, when walking down the streets with them headphones plugged in and this song playing quite loud.
Evelyn Rashell yas queen
Drake told us this w hotline bling
I know right
Yes and those dislikes need to get the heck out of here!
hahah
Nah mate we can't just ignore the dislikes.
Some people will always disagree.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the way she sings in this track is an aggressive way but somehow holding back a bit of emotions. its breathtaking. not only that, but the beginning of the music video where shes looking towards the camera but not directly at it gives me a sense of mystery and curiousity, making me want to hear more of her words
😊
hi everyone! i covered this song and it would mean so much if anyone checked it out!! :)
Liana Jaden ok
thank you!
She's a total scorpio
6 years later and this song still makes me feel euphoric, Thank You!
Hey Lorde fans! I have just released my selfmade debut album CRASTI LAND a few weeks ago. I am a big Lorde fan myself, her minimal electronic music (especially during her first years) really inspired me and a couple of songs on the album, so I thought I'd share the news with other fans. I am struggling to get listeners despite my hard work so, kindly and respectfully, I would appreciate every listen & review! Have a powerful day!
Am I the only one who totally LOVED this when I first heard it??
yeah me too like literally the first time i heard it, when it hit the 00:50 beat i just wanted to break in to dance! fking love it
Kitty KayKay your not alone
Francisco_zx you're*
nope
me too
Am I the only one who's been obsessively stalking Lordes vevo page awaiting new music? I love this! now give me an album! take my money Lorde!
Wow in New Zealand she announced when this song will be released lol
The_Glamest_FuckGirl classy name
When you your 13 and you make your first Gmail-Google account and name it sooo stupid and 7 years later you still don't change it and you think how stupid you were back then. +The_Glamest_FuckGirl
This song has been on constant repeat. I love everything about it.
same
Im on the 428th loop....I need an intervention
NewTH-camrWhoDis me too. It is 5 am in my country and I am up again to continue. I have shared it so many times ul think I'm on her marketing team 😭
Ndi kato #StopSpamOfTHEPROJECT
first time listening to lorde its really good
This song makes me feel everything at once.
at 3:03 you can see that she's wearing adidas with her DRESS IT'S SUPER CUTE combination of a style
Alexxis Shine I like to Rock a swim suit, dress shoes and a cowboy hat.
***** what did you say
you know those are her real everyday shoes?
People change and so does music. So dont expect Pure Heroin pt2 please.
Heroine*
Exactly. and it's not that far from what she did in the past. If you want more of the same, the music industry is saturated with generic pop just for you ;)
Kerem Ince I made a parody of this song, I just came in the photo
lol Pure Heroin...it wasn't about drugs
Justin Witham haha dude... pure heroine was the name of her first album
The voice in this song isn't the high-pitched revengeful one like "My life is so perfect without you, I have a much better boyfriend than you, my life is way more glamorous without you". The one in this piece is a voice that shouts "my life is a mess, and I love it as it is, because I finally love myself and I don't need anyone to dance on my own celebrating who I am".
It's not about partying over the perfect life,
It's about celebrating our mistakes and disappointments and the wonderful act of celebrating everything anyways, even if things aren't perfect.
Totally agree ! ✨
Yes!! 💯💯💯
Wow love this 💖
Beautiful! Perfectly said.
Oh my- that toucha mah heart
this is literally the best music video, song, concept, vibe, feeling, album ever.
I love how she's just completely, unapologetically herself.
She really owns her face in all its fishy glory.
J F 😂😂😂😂
she is not afraid to show her expressions
That, itself, is bravery.
that, itself, is choreography
you clearly don't know much about Lorde
Black Horse washed ham?
Black Horse you know that she is in fact wearing make up right? It's more gold and shinny, rather than the dark one she used to wear, and honestly I think she looks so good, she seems more young and comfortable? and her hair is probs like that bc she has to look like she went partying, and most woman with curly hair either make their hair straight or they try to tame their curls. Sorry for this long reply and my English, and I ho pe you have a wonderful day/night
She hasn't released anything in 3 years and she comes back better than before. She must've took time off to find who she is before coming back in the music industry. She has a new sound, a new look, and new beats. I love this new Lorde.
Timothy Ryan her old album was so much better than this pop shit show
Night man I disagree. I loved Royals and Team, but this is more upbeat than both of those songs
Sarah Fisher It's an interesting difference from her other songs. C'mon let's give her a break. She hasn't release anything in three years.
Actually 4 years.
Timothy Ryan A brand new sound from mind :v
She's growing to adult now
Even tho I used to be a hater cause Royals, now I'm not hating anymore
But I'm not a fans yet
Will she release a new album?
Thank you Lorde, this was the beginning of an unforgettable era. She made 2017 what it was!
Anyone else listen to this, over & over again?
HELL YEAH
yepp
and it's getting better by the day. Lorde is a genious
meeee
Like 7 times in a row..her on top of that car doe....
She looks like she’s having such a good time when she dances and it makes me happy
THE QUEEN IS BACK
rather listen to my dog fart
Queen is a tad much... LOL
Sorry id rather listen to my cat purr........
Nah she's more like a lord🙃
Unfortunately not. Freddie Mercury died :'(
god this song is so good
I can't say I don't like it.
It isn't what I expected, it sounds less dark and deep that the last album, but that's the idea of releasing a new one, isn't it?
that is LITERALLY what i was thinking thank you so much to put it into words
Luis Garcia Her best friend is Taylor Swift.
Nayra Silva why do you bring her in this? 🙄
I think she's exploring new things and I support her. I totally see her doing more deep and dark stuff in the future though.
if by know you dont get that singles aren't always the most deep songs you're a moron. she has yet to release a ful album. besides, expecting an artist to take a long ass break and come back sounding the same its stupid. she writes her own music, maybe katy perry can sound the same along 10 years but ella grows with her music.
