Watch Lorde Perform “Green Light” on “SNL”

Lorde was the musical guest on last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” which was hosted by hosted by Scarlett Johansson. Lorde performed “Green Light,” the first single from her upcoming album Melodrama. Watch it below. In an interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1, Lorde revealed that “Green Light” is about “my first major heartbreak.” “This is that drunk girl at the party dancing around crying about her ex-boyfriend who everyone thinks is a mess,” she said, “That’s her tonight and tomorrow she starts to rebuild. And that’s the song for me.” Later in the show, she performed her new song “Liability” and appeared in a sketch where she attempted to sing “Royals.”

Melodrama is out June 16 via LAVA/Republic. Read Pitchfork’s interview with Grant Singer, the director of Lorde’s “Green Light” music video.
