Lorde has taken to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge to do a beguiling rendition of Jeremih's "Don't Tell 'Em".
Explaining the decision to cover the track, Lorde said:
"I have basically been a really big fan of this song since I first started hearing it around... I love the vocal melodies. I think they’re really smart and just consider them cool. It’s quite a saucy song or something and I think it would be interesting to flip the dynamic and make that power mine."

The Lorde-curated Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 Soundtrack is out 17 November 17 via Virgin/EMI.
