What Was That

performed by Lorde

taken from the fourth studio album "Virgin"​

"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 dành cho album phòng thu thứ tư "Virgin" sắp được ra mắt 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?
