🚨 7 years ago today, Lorde released “Green Light” and lives were never the same. 

 

The lead single off the universally-acclaimed Melodrama was met with widespread praise from critics, becoming a Top 10 hit in the US while reaching the top 10 in further 15 countries. It has been streamed over 1 BILLION times on streaming platforms and got named the 2nd best song of the decade by NME, with making several other year end and decade end lists. 💚

True for me with literally every Lorde release  and so many memories attached to them

Wait, a bilion streams? God is good

We literally all remember where we were  7 f*cking years I cannot believe it

She was so insane for this, and even more so for Melodrama. One of my personal favorite eras to have ever lived through 

no way it is been 7 years. it still sounds so fresh and euphoric

Life was never the same 

Still sounds so good. 

One of the greatest pop songs of all time 

It feels so scary getting old

Classic!

Iconic

She got the last laugh with being told this song didn’t fit the formula; it’s aged better than so many, bigger and formulaic hit songs 

definition of iconic. 

A moment.

Legendary song? ✓

Legendary album? ✓
Legendary artist? ✓

 

I wanted to create this thread.

An absolute gem

Pop excellence 

I will never forget the goosebumps I got when I first heard this song 

I still get them every time I listen...what a magical era to live through

i remember this moment so vividly 

Turned me into a stan

still THE lead single from THE album 

Still love this song so much. The charge of euphoria it gives you  When will your fave?

I’ve never been the same since I heard her pronunciation of ‘bed-droom’ 

I still like it though
