… many fans also began speculating when, exactly, we’d finally hear her new song. While many of the anonymous sources predicting her return to the limelight suggested that in honor of the song’s solar theme, the single would hit streaming services on June 20, the summer solstice, Lorde ultimately dropped “Solar Power” on Thursday, coinciding with the “ring of fire” solar eclipse visible throughout many parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
Considering the song’s cover art and this celestial event, which for those of us who need a middle-school science refresher (looking at you, Rep. Louie Gohmert), only occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, some fans couldn’t help but wonder if this release date was intentional, a direct joke about Lorde’s moon blocking the Sun.
“I’m convinced Solar Power will release earlier than the leak states,” wrote one user earlier this week in a since-deleted post on the artist’s subreddit. “The cover is literally a picture of Lorde’s ass (the “moon”) covering the sun, which is probably a nod to the upcoming solar eclipse on June 10th, as u/yuvi2999 pointed out previously.”
However, it seems the fine people of Reddit weren’t the only ones speculating if the song’s entire release was one giant ass joke. “Pls lorde rlly intended to release solar power during the solar eclipse bc her moon is covering the sun,” mused @thepigprint on Twitter.
