Lorde Wonders "What Was That" on First Single in Four Years

It’s a Lorde Summer.

Following a hectic week that included a Knicks court appearance and an unexpected, near-cancelled concert at Washington Square Park on Wednesday evening, the singer unveiled her long-awaited debut single in nearly four years – titled “What Was That“.

Produced by Lorde, Jim-E Stack, and Dan Nro, “What Was That” follows a captivating social media reveal and marks the singer’s initial studio output since her album “Solar Power,” which was released in November 2021.

The tune seems reminiscent of summer, backed by a mesmerizing synth melody and a hook that’s irresistible. “MDMA in the backyard, dilate our pupils / We locked lips for endless hours, darling, what was that? / I recall saying then, ‘This is the finest cigarette I’ve ever had’ / Well, I yearn for you just as I did then,” she croons.

In the provided music video, Lorde embodies the spirit of “What Was That,” as she strolls, sprints, and pedals throughout New York City on a sunny afternoon.
