In the fifth single from 2021 album Solar Power, Lorde (aka Ella Yelich-O'Connor) sings advice to the younger version of herself, with a spoken word interlude from Swedish pop star Robyn. In this award-winning music video, three different versions of Lorde (from her three album eras), frolic together on the beach — including a dance number that would have taken meticulous timing. Yelich-O'Connor co-directs with frequent collaborator Joel Kefali. The pair also co-directed the Solar Power music video and use the same stunning (Kiwi) beach; the location of which has never been publicly confirmed.
... she cooked, baked, walked the dog, swam, gardened — chilled, in other words — while she waited to see “if anything else worth writing about happened.” But it turned out that it already had, especially when woven in with her current existence.– Joe Coscarelli writing about Lorde's inspiration behind album Solar Power, The New York Times, 12 August 2021
