Dopo una settimana di annunci, speculazioni varie e anteprime, Lorde ha finalmente pubblicato il nuovo singolo Green Light, accompagnato dal video diretto da Grant Singer.
Il brano è stato scritto e prodotto da Lorde e Jack Antonoff ed è il primo estratto di Melodrama, follow-up di Pure Heroine del 2013.
Intervistata da Zane Lowe su Beats 1, Lorde ha dichiarato che il brano è stato ispirato dal suo “first major heartbreak”:
It’s not something that I really am used to writing about. It took me a while to be able to figure out how to write about that. The song is really about those moments kind of immediately after your life changes and about all the silly little things that you gravitate towards. I say, “She thinks you love the beach, you’re such a liar”. What the fuck, 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 realized I was like, “how come this thing is coming out so joyous sounding?” And 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.
