In the recording, Lorde and Jack Antonoff can be heard discussing the different elements of Green Light and practising the pre-chorus.

The singer told Gevinson; "For any argument that's like, 'oh, she went pop,' it's like, that's just the inside of my brain, that's how a song like that... enters the world."

Green Light is the first single from Lorde's upcoming album Melodrama, from which she has also shared the song Liability.
