Lorde has returned with some of her first brand-new music since releasing Solar Power in 2021. Today, she dropped a snippet of an unreleased song on her official TikTok account, complete with a brief video of her pacing around Washington Square Park in New York. In the visual, she films herself singing along to the track, mouthing the lyrics: “Since I was 17/I gave you everything/Now we wake from a dream/Well, baby, what was that?” Watch the seconds-long clip, which marks Lorde’s first-ever post on TikTok, over on the social media site.
In addition to Lorde’s post, the artist wiped her official website and Instagram account clean. Fans have been speculating that Lorde is gearing up to release her fourth studio album since July, when she shared an even shorter tidbit of a track and and wrote on Instagram, “Will be back in touch,” as Billboard reported at the time. The following month, producer Jim-E Stack hinted that he and Lorde were working together when he shared a photo of Lorde on her laptop.
