Lorde

Everynight I go
Everynight I go
Sneaking out the door
I lie a little more
Baby I'm helpless

There's something about the night
And the way it hides all the things I like
Little black butterflies
Deep inside me

What would my mama do
She knew about me and you?
What would my daddy say
She saw me hurt this way?

Why should I feel ashamed?
Feeling guilty at the mention of your name
Yeah, here we are again
It's nearly perfect

What would my mama do
She knew about me and you?
What would my daddy say
He saw me hurt this way?

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (b. November 7, 1996), better known by her stage name Lorde, is a pop star hailing from New Zealand. While her earlier music focused on criticizing fame and the “pop star” culture, she grew into it more with her second album while keeping the superb writing she’s known for.

She first became a figure on the international scene with her debut EP The Love Club but didn’t start to blow up until her song “Royals” reached #1 on charts worldwide, including the US. Her use of apt metaphors and allegories at just sixteen made her a revered and intriguing media figure.

Although she was initially written off as a one-hit-wonder, her top-ten second single “Team,” curation of The Hunger Mockingjay soundtrack, and her friendships with other A-listers like Taylor Swift have kept her in the spotlight, as well as general intrigue about new music.
