LORDE surprised her fans with a new video on her official TikTok account. But this was not just any life update from the singer-songwriter—it was a teaser for her forthcoming song.
The 15-second clip showed Lorde strolling the streets in her white long-sleeved polo and jeans with her headphones on. Her background music was titled “WWT,” which several netizens guessed to be the title of her new song.
A part of the song’s lyrics from the video goes: “Since I was 17, I gave you everything / Now we wake from a dream / Well baby, what was that?”
As of writing, this was the only video posted on her TikTok account. She wiped her other social media accounts including Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
Lorde’s TikTok video has now garnered over 23 million views, with many calling her music comeback “Lorde Summer.”
Among those who look forward to her new song is “greedy” singer Tate McRae.
“Omg,” the Canadian singer-songwriter commented.
Children’s author Greg James, meanwhile, said, “The Lorde has risen just in time for Easter.”
This comes four years after Lorde released her third studio album, “Solar Power,” containing 12 tracks. Its deluxe version had 14 tracks.
In 2024, Lorde dropped a cover of “Take Me to the River” as part of the Talking Heads tribute album.
