Interesting facts and trivia about Solar Power. By Songfacts®.

Lorde introduced her third album, Solar Power, on June 11, 2021 by sharing its title track. A sun-kissed acoustic-driven song, it finds the New Zealander celebrating the simple pleasures of a hot day on the beach. Said Lorde: "It's about that infectious, flirtatious summer energy that takes hold of us all, come June (or December, if you're a Southern Hemisphere baby like me)."

The song is Lorde's first single since the 2017 album Melodrama. That record found her grappling with her emotions following her breakup with her longtime photographer boyfriend, James Lowe. She uses this song's chorus to signal she's starting a new, happier era. Forget all of the tears that you've cried It's over, over, over, over It's a new state of mind Are you coming, my baby? Lorde is inviting the listener to accompany her as she introduces us to the world of her third album.

Back in 2019, Lorde paid a visit to Antarctica to learn about the climate crisis. She later shared with local news program Newshub that her trip to the polar continent inspired the title "Solar Power." "It's such an alien environment and it's so dazzling, straight away," she said. "I had this very distinct moment of thinking, 'This is the coolest your life will ever get. Like, this is it.' I actually decided on the album name right around that trip. Just coming back from that trip I thought: 'This is what it is.'"
