What Was That performed by Lorde "What Was That" là tựa đề sản phẩm âm nhạc mới của nữ nghệ sĩ Lorde, phát hành vào ngày 24 tháng 4 năm 2025 cùng một music video vô cùng tối giản. Ca khúc này cũng được cho là đĩa đơn đầu tiên, nằm trong album phòng thu thứ tư của cô nàng. Bài hát này lần đầu được hé lộ trên TikTok, vào ngày 9 tháng 4 năm 2025. Về mặt âm thanh, "What Was That" là bài hát với sự kết hợp của dance pop cùng với alternative pop và synthpop. Về chủ đề, bài hát dường như nói về việc cô gái dành hết tất cả mọi thứ mình có cho người cô yêu - một chủ đề mà quen thuộc trong album phòng thu thứ hai "Melodrama". Ca từ chất chứa những thăng trầm của tình yêu tuổi trẻ và sự đeo bám dai dẳng của những ký ức đã qua, nhắc nhở chúng ta rằng ngay cả lúc đau khổ thì chúng ta vẫn mang trong lòng bóng hình người mình yêu. Lời Bài Hát A place in the city, a chair and a bed I cover up all the mirrors, I can't see myself yet I wear smoke like a wedding veil Make a meal I won't eat Step out into the street, alone in a sea It comes over me Oh, I'm missing you Yeah, I'm missing you And all the things we used to do MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that? I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life" Well, I want you just like that Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out I didn't know then that you'd never be enough for- Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything Now, we wake from a dream Well, baby, what was that? What was that? Baby, what was that? Do you know you're still with me, when I'm out with my friends? I stare at the painted faces that talk current affairs You had to know this was happening, you weren't feeling my heat When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right I face reality I tried (I tried) to let (To let) Whatever has to pass through me, pass through But this is staying a while, I know It might not let me go MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that? I remember saying then, "This is the best cigarette of my life" Well, I want you just like that Indio haze, we're in a sandstorm, and it knocks me out I didn't know then, but you'd never be enough for me Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything Now, we wake from a dream Well, baby, what was that? What was that? 'Cause I want you just like that (When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright) What was that? (When I'm in the blue light, I can make it alright) Baby, what was that?
