Lorde Finally Drops Hot New Single, "Green Light"

After three painstakingly slow years, Lorde has finally graced us with a new single.

The track is called “Green Light” and it’s an upbeat banger, for sure.

The upcoming album Melodrama will be out later this winter; it will be the star’s second studio album and follow-up to Pure Heroine.

Lorde joined Triple J Breakfast to chat about the release.

“It’s a heartbreak-based song, a scorched earth type number,” she described.

According to the lady Lorde herself, the track’s supposed to capture the period of rebuilding yourself in the wake of a significant break-up.

“The song is not so much about the heartbreak but about ‘How am I going to dance my way through this and be OK tomorrow morning? I might not be OK right now but I will be soon. I’m going to get that Green Light and when I do, it’s going to be the greatest’,” she explained.

Lorde unleashed the accompanying music video for “Green Light” this morning too.
