When Lorde released her album Solar Power last year, one of the immediate highlights was the Robyn-featuring cut “Secrets From A Girl (Who’s Seen It All).” Now, Lorde has gone ahead and given the tune an official video, which premiered this afternoon.
Lorde previously told Apple Music of the song, “This is me talking to my younger self trying to impart some of the things that I learned. It was a fun place to write from. To me it’s very Eurythmics meets Robyn. And then we got Robyn to do the incredible spoken part. She’s someone I have learned a huge amount from, through song. She really completed the experience.”
She also told Spotify, “I was listening to ‘Ribs’ and just thinking about who I was at that time of life. I was so apprehensive about what was to come. I took two of the chords from that song and reversed them. This is future me talking back saying… ‘It’s going to be OK.’”
Last summer, she noted of Robyn, “I think there’s just so much room in Robyn’s world for being a hot mess or being this sort of ball of emotions shooting out in every direction. I think about a song like ‘Call Your Girlfriend’ — she’s not in a traditional hero’s role; she’s telling someone to break up with their girlfriend so they can be with her. But she’s also having a huge amount of empathy for that other woman – that is some really big, complex adult sh*t to be tackling in a dancefloor banger!”
