Light some sage and align your chakras because Lorde dropped a new single!
“I sort of underwent something of a transformation for this video because the song is satirical, I was writing from the perspective of a character who is not me,” said the “Royals” singer, 24, on YouTube.
Her goal for this song was to contrast the character from herself. The singer shared that she does, however, think this character is “very cool” and she “loves her vibes.”
“Mood Ring” is a metaphor for “the kind of magical thinking that we all employ at times to feel well,” the singer said. She relates the song back to times when she read her horoscope and “bent it to make it what she needs it be in that moment.”

The singer performs a series of ritual-like dances and appears burning sage, using crystals and reading a book to lightly mock today’s wellness culture. Meanwhile, her lyrics complement the theme perfectly.
“Ladies, begin your sun salutations / Transcendental in your meditations (love and light),” sings Lorde. “You can burn sage, and I’ll cleanse the crystals / We can get high, but only if the wind blows.”
When Lordefirst introducedher album to fans in June, she described it as a “modern girl.”
“There’s someone I want you to meet,” the Grammy winner wrote. “Her feet are bare at all times. She’s sexy, playful, feral, and free.”
Upon the song’s release, fans began flooding Twitter with memes, praising the singer’s newest release.
“Mood Ring” is out now andSolar Poweris set to release on Aug. 20.
