Lorde - Homemade Dynamite (Remix) [feat. Khalid, Post Malone & SZA] Lorde 2017-09-15 | On September 13th, Lorde teased a new remix of “Homemade Dynamite” off her recent album Melodrama. On Twitter, the singer posted the remix’s cover art – a Polaroid-esque portrait in a room of helium balloons, one in particular hiding her face – with one-word caption “Tomorrow.” The new version of the song features additional vocals from SZA, Khalid and Post Malone.The remix of “Homemade Dynamite” is Lorde’s first release following her enthusiastic silent dancing to the original track at the VMAs. The singer, extremely sick with the flu, took to the stage with a boombox and did her best interpretive dancing. While some viewers found it discomforting to watch the singer dance when she was under-the-weather, Ella didn’t care at all. The singer joined the September 7th episode of "WTF with Mark Maron" to defend her admittedly charming performance, stating, “It’s sort of embarrassing to watch someone experience intense joy. Way more than pain … and I think that’s why people find what I do quite disconcerting."
Lorde - Perfect Places (Audio) Lorde 2017-06-24 | "Perfect Places" is the second single from Lorde's sophomore album, Melodrama.Lorde revealed the meaning of the song is about going to parties and hooking up, in which she pierces an atmosphere of hedonism with stabs of melancholy. She also revealed:“It’s lived a million lives, we’ve tried it at different tempos, used different voicings, took it half time, made it weird and druggy, but that didn’t work. A big problem is that there’s so much to the song. The other day I had a breakthrough: What if we delete the entire prechorus? Just take it out, and I never have to hear it again in my life? We did, and now the whole thing follows a much simpler trajectory. But we still haven’t cracked the code.” She and Jack Antonoff had an idea in mind for the hook: What if a mass of multitracked Lordes came in, belting out the words together beneath the main vocal like a choir of clones? She approached a microphone beside the mixing board to try it out. “Can you do some shouty, bratty ones?” Antonoff asked. “In the room it’ll sound crazy, but in the mix it’ll sound like a bunch of kids.” The song was also written by Andrew Wyatt, alongside Antonoff and Ella (Lorde).She later released the track list for Melodrama which showed "Perfect Places" was the 11th and final song on the track list. She teased the single by releasing a series of three photos, the first reading:"FRIDAY JUNE 2, 2PM NYC, 6AM NZ"The second read:"Every night I die, feel the party to my bones", And the third:"Watch the wasters blow the speakers, spill my guts beneath the outdoor light, it's just another graceless night". The song was then released on June 1st as a single.

A handful of people will listen to this album and have it sort of get them [in the gut]. But it was important for me to say. And I don’t think that song is apologising for it. It’s more like, what did you think was going to happen? I was doing this before I met you and I’ll be doing this after you’re gone… I felt quite empowered. It was weird, I woke up in the middle of the night and was lying next to someone. And I wrote it down on my phone and I was like, ‘Oh God, I feel so naughty writing this!’ While somebody’s sleeping, like an evil witch. But I really love that song. I feel like it’s such a cool, painful moment in the record."

It is divided into two parts.With something of a soft-rock vibe, it has a slow-burning section, built around piano chords, for which Lorde had yet to find a lyric or melody during recording. She reportedly told Jack Antonoff she was thinking "Hard Feelings" could work here, and after he told her to "slide it like Sinead", she went up to the mic and sang the lyrics "Oh, my babe I got haaard feeeliiings,". She said she thought "the feelings part is catchy". Antonoff revealed it pleasantly reminded him of Don Henley’s 1989 hit, “The Heart of the Matter,” in which he grapples with news that a past lover has met someone new, then laments other bygone relationships. “I love that genre of breakup song, where it’s the calm after a big fight,” Antonoff said. Lorde revealed that "That's Paul Simon saying 'What is this tape?' when Loveless starts—I sampled it from an amazing doco about graceland". The whole song is a duration of 6 minutes and 7 seconds, while "Hard Feelings" goes for about 4 minutes and "Loveless" is a span of 2 minutes, 13 seconds.

But the song kind of ended up turning into a bit of a protective talismans for me. I was like, you know what, I'm always gonna have myself so I have to really nurture this relationship and feel good about hanging out with myself and loving myself."She later said on an exclusive Spinoff podcast:“I’m so aware of the thoughts that are so potent in a moment and then, in the light of day, you’re like, ‘Alright, I was being a bit of a drama queen there, but it’s all good, I’m over it.’ But I went and immortalised it and now everyone who talks to be about that song gives me this look like I’m dying of a terminal disease … but I think that is the nature of writing a record called Melodrama.”She also announced the album release date, June 16th, on Twitter while releasing Liability.

It is like drugs. It’s like ‘I just want to be by you all the time, I just want to listen to you talk and look at your face do all those dumb things that it does when you talk. It’s just like this big dumb joy and it’s intense – and I feel like the instrumentation in that song kind of helped it get there.”

Complex and funny and sad and joyous and it'll make you DANCE." Lorde announced the release of the single and its music video on Twitter on 2 March 2017. Later that day, in a Beats 1 interview with Zane Lowe, she also said: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.In an interview with MTV, she revealed Green Light's piano part was inspired by Florence and the Machine's "big, jangly" piano movements.

When asked about the meaning, she said:do you think things have to have a definite meaning to be good? i think there’s beauty in something people can’t quite work out, and maybe it wouldn’t be right for me to stick a meaning on it anyway. i made something that i thought was visually compelling, and that’s all i’m going to say. thanks for listening xIt has gone #1 in New Zealand.I OWN NOTHING.
