Hello fellow Lorde fans, gather round. Today is a very special day indeed, as New Zealand's queen Lorde has officially released new music for the first time in four years.
Yesterday, she officially announced that her debut single "Green Light," off of her forthcoming album Melodrama, would be released today.
i am so overjoyed to finally announce that my first single, GREEN LIGHT, is coming out tomorrow at 8am nz / 2pm nyc 💚💚💚
*Takes three slow, deep breaths*
She described the track as "unexpected," and in true Lorde fashion, said that it will make you dance your ass off.
i am so proud of this song. it's very different, and kinda unexpected. it's complex and funny and sad and joyous and it'll make you DANCE
This, in fact, turns out to be true.
And revealed that her new music tells the story of the past two ~wild~ years of her life. Yes, Lorde, I'm listening.
it's the first chapter of a story i'm gonna tell you, the story of the last 2 wild, fluorescent years of my life. this is where we begin
And now, like a pre-Friday treat, the single and music video have officially been released (!!!!!!!).

@lorde
So good that it might make you transcend time and space for a second...
@lorde just heard it and I felt like I was outside of this universe for a sec ✨
...make you go through every emotion you've ever felt all within a 30-second timespan...
when chorus starts playng #greenlight
...and make you want to shrink yourself into a cute lil' music note so you can live inside the song forever.
@lorde i actually want to be a song written by you
WELCOME BACK, QUEEN.
