Lorde Teases New Music and Signals Artistic Reset with TikTok Snippet

The singer-songwriter unveiled a 15-second clip of an unreleased track while walking through Washington Square Park, following a complete overhaul of her digital presence.

Lorde shared a 15-second teaser on TikTok on April 9, 2025, marking her first post on the platform and hinting at her upcoming fourth studio album.
The video features the artist walking through Washington Square Park, accompanied by a moody synth-pop track with introspective lyrics.
Lyrics from the snippet, including the lines 'Since I was 17, I gave you everything/ Now we wake from a dream, well baby, what was that?', suggest a reflective and evolved creative direction.
In preparation for the teaser, Lorde wiped her social media accounts and blanked her official website, signaling a deliberate rebranding of her artistic image.
Fans' anticipation has grown steadily since last year, with earlier cryptic posts and brief music snippets fueling excitement for her first album since 2021's 'Solar Power.'
