The album spawned several singles, including the title track "Solar Power", which was released in June 2021, and "Stoned in the Nail Salon", which dropped in August 2021.

Lyrically, Lorde confronts the impossible burden of her own mythology. Solar Power is an album deeply concerned with the performance of self, particularly the performance of wellness. On “California,” she rejects the seductive pull of Los Angeles and its hollow industry, singing, “Now I’ve spent thousands on you / But that’s nothing.” The song is a polite but firm breakup letter with fame itself. Meanwhile, “Stoned at the Nail Salon” is the album’s emotional core—a breathtaking rumination on the anxiety of domesticity and the passage of time. As she watches a friend settle into adulthood, she asks, “Will I have learned to be kind in my twenties?” It is a profoundly un-cool question, the kind that keeps you up at 3 AM. Lorde’s genius here is her willingness to sound boring, to admit that the vertigo of growing older is not always dramatic heartbreak, but often a quiet, creeping dread. lorde solar power album
