Lorde's brand new song 'Green Light' is the soundtrack to your weekend - watch the video here

Ed Sheeran has a bit of competition in the 'pop comeback' stakes today, as Lorde has (very bravely) chosen to release her brand new single.

After a week of teasing, Ella Yelich-O'Connor has released her new single 'Green Light' and its accompanying video.

It's her first new song since 'Yellow Flicker Beat', which was taken from the soundtrack of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' back in 2014.

The slow-building song soon finds its rhythm and is a full-on dance-fest by the time it ends - just what you need, heading into the weekend.

It's taken from her forthcoming second album 'Melodrama', with a release date TBC:

Green Light is officially out in the world, and i am so pleased to share with you that this song is the first from my sophomore record, Melodrama. this is the cover, painted by sam mckinniss. welcome to the new world.
