Are we witnessing the begining of reheated nachos summer?

I like the song, and agree with most of your assesment, it does kinda have b-side/sketch energy to me (oh I long for the days of b-sides instead of the expanded editions that come out only a month later).

Reheated nachos summer LMAO you're so right. Yeah I see what you mean, maybe I would've liked this song more if it were a hidden album cut - but as a lead single I'm unsure.

Thank you for this! I think what intrigues so much about Lorde is her mystery, but her mystery is rooted in her self-knowledge. There’s something so unsatisfying about this song’s simple statement of confusion. It doesn’t feel worthy of her.

I agree with your points but I wonder if people will grow to like this song the way they did with Green Light so many years ago. I personally like What Was That more with each listen, though I hope the upcoming album has better songs Lol

Honestly I've been feeling the same way; I didn't love Solar Power on release and now it's one of my go-to records in summer. Really hoping I'll warm to this new song the way everyone else has.
