Lorde's new song "Solar Power" may have leaked earlier than she intended, but she's taking it all in stride. In a new interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, the singer says she's not angry about the change of plans.
"I mean, listen I love it. Kids are insane," Lorde says. "I love it. I respect it. I love how hungry they are. Tonight is the solar eclipse, you know, you got to follow the vibes."
And indeed the song, released Thursday night, captures a sunny, summery vibe. Lorde says the tune was inspired after a fun summer day on Martha's Vineyard. After a day of swimming, she started playing around on her keyboard and came up with the melody.
