Robyn Drops 'Dopamine,' Her First Solo Single in Seven Years

The release signals a new era on Young with Klas Åhlund back at the controls.

Overview

  • “Dopamine” arrived Nov. 12 via Jamie xx’s Young label, marking a move from Robyn’s Konichiwa Records imprint.
  • A performance video directed by photographer Marili Andre debuted alongside the track.
  • The synth‑pop single reunites Robyn with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, who worked across her 2018 album Honey.
  • Robyn says the song reflects how people read feelings through biological data from devices while holding onto the reality of intense emotion.
  • Åhlund recently said he had finished a Robyn album, though no details are announced, and a tabloid-sourced report of a 2026 release titled “Sexistential” remains unverified.
