The new track is a very polished piece of dance-pop.

Lorde began teasing the track late last month with a "sneak peak" video that showed the singer eating and drinking in the back of a car, while a muffled version of the song plays on the radio. Lorde also teased the track with a separate video clip posted to a site called imwaitingforit.com.

There's still no title for her forthcoming sophomore album, but when Lorde turned 20 last Nov. 7, she did post a note on her Facebook page sharing her excitement. "Writing Pure Heroine was my way of enshrining our teenage glory," she said. "Putting it up in lights forever so that part of me never dies, and this record — well, this one is about what comes next. I want nothing more than to spill my guts RIGHT NOW about the whole thing — I want you to see the album cover, pore over the lyrics (the best I've written in my life), touch the merch, experience the live show. I can hardly stop myself from typing out the name. I just need to keep working a while longer to make it as good as it can be."
