Lorde’s ‘Man of the Year’ video

Fans have praised Lorde for putting out her “best” song and accompanying music video to date with “Man of the Year”. 

The New Zealand-born musician has shifted Lorde summer 2025 into gear (as coined by Charli XCX at Coachella) after dropping her massive hit “What Was That”, and perhaps her most personal track yet, “Man of the Year”. 

Released on 29 May, the track marks the song she’s “proudest of” from her upcoming album Virgin, which drops next month, and appears to put her recent admission about her gender identity into music. 

Fans have rallied around the singer for her honest portrayal of her experience with gender.
