The last one evoked a passionate reaction from the singer: "it was then when I realized I’m going to be in love with music for the rest of my life. it’s going to be the most important friendship I’ll ever have. I’ll never, ever leave it alone, because you can’t leave alone something like that." She assured fans: "know that I'm taking my time to make the new stuff as best as I can." The album is expected to come out later this year. Lorde has recently been reported to have been working with regular songwriting collaborator Joel Little, who said of the new material: "We've written a couple of songs. We've not done a whole lot of production on it," Little said to Billboard. "We just want to make sure the songs are really good and try and experiment with some new things - just different beats and whatever occurs in the studio."
