Green light given for Green Light

The wait is over. It’s been nearly four years since Lorde released her debut album, Pure Heroine - and more than two years since her last single, Yellow Flicker Beat off the soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1. But now the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter from New Zealand is back. Green Light is the name of the first single off of her new album, Melodrama, due later this year. The song, co-written by Fun. guitarist - and Lena Dunham's boyfriend - Jack Antonoff, was penned in response to Lorde’s “first major heartache,” she said in an interview with Beats 1. “It’s not something that I really am used to writing about,” she said. “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.” And if you want to see the video for Green Light, here it is:
