“When you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

Lorde just dropped her newest single, “Hammer,” and it’s a shimmering meditation on intimacy, vulnerability, and desire.

Sonically, “Hammer” leans into bright, pop-forward production with a touch of electro-pop that gives it that signature Lorde glow. It feels bubbly and effervescent on the surface—but dig into the lyrics, and you’ll find something far more raw and sensual.

Through clever wordplay and layered metaphors, Lorde explores the longing to be seen, accepted, and deeply known. She weaves themes of gender fluidity, pre-album rituals, and radical self-love into the narrative, painting a portrait of someone searching for connection that’s real—and willing to stick around through all the mess and magic.

“Hammer” is tender, bold, and honest in that Lorde way only she can pull off. Give it a listen below.
