“What Was That” got its live debut on Tuesday when Lorde sang along to the track at New York’s Washington Square Park while playing the song on a small speaker.
Hours earlier, the New Zealand pop star sent a mass message via her fan text line that she would appear there: “Meet me in the park Tonight 7pm - x x.” Local police and park rangers quickly shut down the event, however, due to an unmanageable crowd size. Footage from the event is featured in the new video.

Lorde - What Was That lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm missin' you
Yeah, I'm missin' you
And all the things we used to do
[Chorus]
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?
I remember sayin' 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, oh
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
Now, we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?
[Post-Chorus]
What was that?
Baby, what was that?
[Verse 2]
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 happenin'
You weren't feelin' my heat
When I'm in the blue light, down at Baby's All Right
I face reality
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried (I tried) to let (To let)
Whatever has to pass through me
Pass through, but this is stayin' a while, I know
It might not let me go
[Chorus]
MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up
We kissed for hours straight, well, baby, what was that?
I remember sayin' 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, oh
Since l was seventeen, I gave you everything
Now, we wake from a dream, well, baby, what was that?
[Post-Chorus]
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
