Lorde está de volta com sua nova música, "What Was That". Veja o clipe com letra e tradução!

Estrela neozelandesa retorna com single dançanete e vídeo gravado com fãs

Lorde está de volta com "What Was That", seu primeiro single inédito desde 2021, marcando o início de uma nova fase em sua carreira. A canção foi lançada oficialmente nesta quinta-feira (24) e já está disponível nas plataformas digitais.
A estrela neozelandesa também lançou um clipe oficial para a música, com participação dos fãs, no Washington Square Park, em Nova York. O encontro com seus admiradores, anunciado pela cantora em suas redes sociais, atraiu uma multidão e foi interrompido pela polícia devido à falta de permissões necessárias.
Apesar disso, Lorde e o colaborador Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) improvisaram uma audição do single com um alto-falante portátil, transformando o momento em uma celebração íntima com os fãs.
Musicalmente, "What Was That" remete à era "Melodrama", com uma produção minimalista que combina linhas de baixo sutis e sintetizadores suaves. A letra aborda temas de perda e introspecção, com versos como: "Desde os 17, te dei tudo / Agora acordo de um sonho / Bem, o que é que foi aquilo?". A faixa foi produzida por Lorde em parceria com Jim-E Stack e Dan Nigro, e seu videoclipe oficial foi lançado simultaneamente ao single.
Veja o clipe de "What Was That, com letra e tradução, abaixo:
"What Was That"
A place in the city, a chair and a bed
I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet
I wear smoke like a wedding veil
Make a meal I won't eat
Step out into the street, alone in a sea
It comes over me
Oh, I'm missing you
Yeah, I'm missing you
And all the things we used to do
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight
Well, baby, what was that?
I remember saying then
"This is the best cigarette of my life"
Well, I want you just like that
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm
And it knocks me out
I didn't know then
That you'd never be enough for--
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
Now, we wake from a dream
Well, baby, what was that?
What was that?
Baby, what was that?
Do you know you're still with me
When I'm out with my friends?
I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairs
You had to know this was happening
You weren't feeling my heat
When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right
I face reality
I tried (I tried)
To let (To let)
Whatever has to pass through me, pass through
But this is staying a while, I know
It might not let me go
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight
Well, baby, what was that?
I remember saying then
"This is the best cigarette of my life"
Well, I want you just like that
Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm
And it knocks me out
I didn't know then
But you'd never be enough for--
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
Now, we wake from a dream
Well, baby, what was that?
What was that?
'Cause I want you just like that
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)
What was that?
(When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright)
Baby, what was that?

"O que é que foi aquilo"
