10 Best Lorde Songs

If you've ever felt too much, and not in a good way, you probably relate to this song more than you should. This track is a ballad from her second album and one of the more complex songs. In it, Lorde goes on a self-inspection trip to find out where she fits in relationships and how she fits in with other people.

We don't know which of the verses in this song is more painful yet relatable. The personal of the writing makes us connect with the letter at a profound level. And hearing how Lorde feels unappreciated, that it's too much and that people get quickly bored with her doesn't come easy with every listen. However, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. When she's there, she realizes that she will always have herself to lean on in life in the end. That's if you're not your own best friend, who else will be?

It's one of the most stripped-down songs that we'll find in Melodrama. Production-wise, it's painfully simple, featuring a piano and Lorde's vocals. Her voice is presented naturally and without a lot of arranging. But all this does nothing more than add to the song's message, making it achieve a more significant impact on whoever listens to it.
