Supercut

About Supercut

"Supercut" is a song by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde from her second album, Melodrama (2017). Lorde co-wrote the track with Jack Antonoff, both of whom also co-produced it with Joel Little, with additional production from Frank Dukes, Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Malay. "Supercut" is a synth-pop track that features elements of dance, electro house, electronica and new wave music, and interpolates the piano melody from her 2017 single, "Green Light". Its name, supercut, is a word coined by Andy Baio and is defined as a compilation of short video clips of the same type of action. Inspired by the heartbreak she felt after breaking up with her longtime boyfriend James Lowe, the lyrics are about Lorde reviewing her most joyful memories from a previous relationship and realizing the illusion is no longer present. Music critics praised the song, with many comparing Lorde's vocals to those of Swedish singer Robyn. "Supercut" was included in the official soundtrack of the video game FIFA 18. Lorde performed the song at the German radio station 1Live, and it was one of six songs used as part of a re-imagined Vevo series at the Electric Lady Studios, where she recorded most of her album. "Supercut" was also part of the set list for the Melodrama World Tour (2017–2018) more »
