Secrets from a Girl (Who's Seen it All)

In the fifth single from 2021 album Solar Power, Lorde (aka Ella Yelich-O'Connor) sings advice to the younger version of herself, with a spoken word interlude from Swedish pop star Robyn. In this award-winning music video, three different versions of Lorde (from her three album eras), frolic together on the beach — including a dance number that would have taken meticulous timing. Yelich-O'Connor co-directs with frequent collaborator Joel Kefali. The pair also co-directed the Solar Power music video and use the same stunning (Kiwi) beach; the location of which has never been publicly confirmed.   

... she cooked, baked, walked the dog, swam, gardened — chilled, in other words — while she waited to see “if anything else worth writing about happened.” But it turned out that it already had, especially when woven in with her current existence.
