It’s a celebration, it’s the most explosive and epic thing Lorde has done, a sign that she can be just as captivating when she’s aiming for the rafters as she is pursuing something quieter. It also sounds like nothing else on the radio or in your Spotify playlists.

PopMatters

Equal parts ballad, dancefloor banger, full-fledged gospel stomper - this song is an enormously catchy single that seems to gather together all of Lorde’s strengths into a four-minute track.

This song is great to dance to. That isn't easy, but tons of songs are still able to do that.
