The title is out there (liked by Olly and mentioned by another source), so I guess I can update this thread's title.

For a second I thought this had the same name as the pokemon move but that's Solar Beam not Solar Power. To quote the words of Lorde herself

I need to hear the song, but let's not get too ambitious about its commercial outlook. Melodrama was by no means a commercial success, and it's been 8 years since she last hit Top 10 in the US.

I have zero commercial expectations here. Hoping for the best but she managed to miss the Hot 100 with a song that also had Khalid, Post Malone and SZA so...

To be fair, I guarantee the current state of all their careers is much stronger now than it was back then. A collab with that kind of star power now would definitely be a different story.

SZA is definitely a bigger deal now. Post was already a big deal. Poor Khalid tho...

I don't remember new Lorde music being anywhere near as much of a big deal back in 2017. It was only after Melodrama dropped and more people got into it that she built up this reputation as an infallible genius who only makes 10/10 songs (which is true) and her quitting social media which gave her a Frank Ocean kind of mystique. Now she can trend based on random Twitter people leaking rumors about her new music, and this happens constantly every month. Unlike during the Melodrama era, people are fully tuned in and feverishly anticipating everything she has coming. I'm not saying that means she's guaranteed to smash, but I think it's fair to say she's in a better position than she was four years ago when she was still entirely known for Royals and her fanbase was more insular.

Thanks for adding your perspective!! It definitely makes me feel more positive about it. I still think it's misguided to expect her new single to be as successful as Billie's and Olivia's, but I do wish the hype for her new music would drive the song to top! Not that I care that much about her commercial success, but it's just nice to see that kind of moment.

I assume Olly is going to confirm this too soon, but Ultrasubversive (the other source) revealed the release date: 6/21, 10am. PST / 1pm. EDT / 6pm. BST. Written with Jack Antonoff.

The single cover leaked. It's Lorde in a yellow leotard, think of Madonna's "Hung Up" video.

Omg. I hope itβs screams HIGH UV SUMMER. UGH. Like when you listen, you feel the heat, the sweat, the humidity, and all around sexy. I want a juicy Lorde summer track.
