It's been two years since Lorde released her debut album, but the Kiwi pop star isn't just sitting around, twiddling her thumbs and hanging out with BFF Taylor Swift.

Aside from working on her second album, she and a number of other New Zealand artists - including Flight of the Conchords, Kimbra, The Naked & Famous and Daniel Bedingfield - have teamed up to record a single for charity Cure Kids, which helps children suffering from Batten disease. Cure Kids is the official charity of the All Blacks team.

The song is called 'Team Ball Player Thing', and you can watch the very tongue-in-cheek 'Do They Know It's Christmas'-style video - which also features a cameo from film director Peter Jackson - below:
