- She began by illuminating herself in the darkness with the flame of her lighter
“Whether it was my seven-year relationship or a pandemic or sacrificing my body to my career since I was 16 or 17… I just held the mic and sort of walked around the room and said it all. I didn't write anything down, which was cool.”
– Lorde on the raw nature of “What Was That”
“MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils out. We kissed for hours straight, but baby, what was that? I remember saying then, this is the best cigarette of my life. Well I want you just like that.”
— Lyrics to “What Was That” by Lorde
