Homemade Dynamite

About Homemade Dynamite

"Homemade Dynamite" is a song by New Zealand singer Lorde from her second album, Melodrama (2017). She co-wrote the track with Tove Lo, Jakob Jerlström, Ludvig Söderberg and co-produced it with Frank Dukes and vocal producer Kuk Harrell. Critics described "Homemade Dynamite" as a mid-tempo R&B and synth-pop song with vocal sound effects, a percussive beat, a staccato hook, electronic flourishes, sharp percussion and woozy synths. In the lyrics, Lorde talks about having a feeling of euphoria at a house party with friends. "Homemade Dynamite" received favourable reviews from music critics, who praised its strong lyrical content, Lorde's vocal delivery and its production. While the track failed to match the success of the album's lead single, it had minor chart placements in Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Lorde premiered the song at the Coachella Valley Music Festival and performed it at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. "Homemade Dynamite" 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. more »
