Solar Power is the third studio album by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde. It was released on 20 August 2021 by Universal. Inspired by the death of her Golden Retriever mix dog and her visit to Antarctica in 2019, the album was written with producer Jack Antonoff to capture themes of solipsism and summer escapism. It mainly focuses on Lorde's leisure time in her homeland, New Zealand, while simultaneously expressing her disdain for fame and celebrity culture. Classified by Lorde as her "weed album", Solar Power is a psychedelic pop and indie folk effort built around acoustic guitar arrangements, marking a departure from the electronic-based music of her previous works. It was met by polarised reviews from music critics, who commended Lorde's matured vocals, but were divided over its songwriting and production. Lorde later described the response to the record as "really confounding" and "painful". The album was led by its lead single and title track, "Solar Power", followed by "Stoned at the Nail Salon", "Mood Ring", and "Fallen Fruit". Commercially, Solar Power reached number one in Australia and New Zealand, and charted inside the top ten in various countries.
