Listen to a preview of Lorde's new single "Green Light"

The new music comes after the New Zealand singer/songwriter revealed she was laying a little treasure hunt in her home city of Auckland. Fans have scoured the streets for clues - there are quite a few - coming up with various green-lit hints.

There is also a clearer, new teaser on her imwaitingforit.com site, but no vocals are in that one.

Last month it was reported that Lorde's new single would be released 7 March, and just a few days ago it was revealed that she'd be on Saturday Night Live, so there's definitely something happening.

Lorde's debut album Pure Heroine was released in 2013. Despite not releasing an album for a while, Lorde's certainly kept busy - she paid tribute to David Bowie at last year's BRIT Awards, has worked with Broods and Disclosure, and curated the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.
