About Supercut

"Supercut" is a song by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde from her second album, Melodrama (2017). Lorde co-wrote the track with Jack Antonoff, both of whom also co-produced it with Joel Little, with additional production from Frank Dukes, Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Malay. "Supercut" is a synth-pop track that features elements of dance, electro house, electronica and new wave music, and interpolates the piano melody from her 2017 single, "Green Light". Its name, supercut, is a word coined by Andy Baio and is defined as a compilation of short video clips of the same type of action. Inspired by the heartbreak she felt after breaking up with her longtime boyfriend James Lowe, the lyrics are about Lorde reviewing her most joyful memories from a previous relationship and realizing the illusion is no longer present. Music critics praised the song, with many comparing Lorde's vocals to those of Swedish singer Robyn. "Supercut" was included in the official soundtrack of the video game FIFA 18. Lorde performed the song at the German radio station 1Live, and it was one of six songs used as part of a re-imagined Vevo series at the Electric Lady Studios, where she recorded most of her album. "Supercut" was also part of the set list for the Melodrama World Tour (2017–2018).

In my
Supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of, supercut of, supercut of us

In my head, I play a supercut of us
All the magic we gave off
All the love we had and lost
And in my head, the visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you, there's just a supercut

Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us

In your car, the radio up
In your car, the radio up
In your car, the supercut of us
We keep tryna talk about us
Slow motion, I'm watchin' our love
In your car, the supercut of, supercut of

We is the villains, and there ain't no chillin'
Get body bags and the toe tags, yeah
Scoundrels in housin', we tore through your town
And we reload it and now we back, man
Forgiato rollin' on a '96 Impala
With a pretty thing, show me where I'm slayin'
I ain't playin' with you lames
700 horse in the Hellcat
Take ya bitch, where ya at?

Dirty, all-black Jeep, twenty eighteen
With the clean rhyme rappers on deck, check
Came with the bad bars, bully with the big box
Trust we're the runners on set
Give it up, you don't got a bit of luck left
Nah, not even a itty bit of fresh (good lord)
Fall on your sword for the crime abhorrent
That's your reward for the mindless whorin'

This for everybody that hated
Michael and Jamie, we made it
Every debt due, we paid it
My cadence is heinous
You keep tryna play us, and you gon' be famous
And just like the top on my seven five drop
I'm just hittin' a button and you gon' be brainless
And that's from the back of a 'lac where I'm smokin' the sack
Wit' my girl, watchin' seasons of Shameless

There's no manual, Run the Jewels publish shit annual
Every minute I'm in it, I'm runnin' a clinic
Wild animal, livin' like a Fine Young Cannibal
Citizen of cynics, admit it, they can't get it
Earth's a hot block, the pot get chop chopped
You walk in one spot, my heart just pop off
The hot rocks shooters will knock your whole op off
That's why I don't got tocks on the clock to rock soft

So I fall into continents and cars
All the stages and the stars
I turn all of it to just a su

Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of us
Supercut, supercut of, supercut of, super, super
