New Zealand pop singer Lorde released a new song, No Better, on Dec. 13.

The track rides a synth-pop electro groove that Lorde words about the recklessness of youth and being in love, encouraging heady play, but also dropping a subtle warning about its ephemeral nature.

"Because no one can be bothered when it's humid like this/And we roll in every summer like it's shameful to be underneath the ceiling or a roof truck come out and steal our thunder," she sings.

The precocious songwriter follows the verse with a chorus which comes with a hint of caution:

"Go all the way/Have your fun, have it all/This will take you down." 

Lately, Lorde has been in the news and not only for her music. The Royals singer was most recently spotted dining with Taylor Swift in Melbourne, Australia as they were celebrating Swift's 24th birthday. The media picked up on the news and highlighted her beef with Swift's bff Selena Gomez.

The singer's boyfriend, James Lowe, recently became the subject of some brutal cyber-bullying as teenagers unleashed a racist tirade about his being Asian and also made negative comments about his appearance.

The 17-year-old singer-songwriter has been nominated for four awards at the 2014 Grammys -- Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album.

The young artist spoke about being chosen as a contender for the prestigious award and her massive success this year, backstage at the Grammy nominations concert in LA on Dec. 6. She was mostly grateful for the year 2013.

"It's probably up there with the best years of my life," Lorde said. "My short life."

No Better Lyrics:

We roll in every summer when there's strength in our numbers
And your breath's hot and gross but I kiss you like a lover
Like stick to the seats of the cars of mongerito
I forget the mallets from the lessons that I went to.
And Jamie picks fights but the weekends short lived
Because no one can be bothered when it's humid like this
And we roll in every summer like it's shameful to be underneath the ceiling or a roof truck come out and steal our thunder 

Now the days are getting colder
And the burning of our limbs doesn't happen quite as bad and the burnings dry skin.
Deep in the fantasies and dreams of the wits to like the movies
That we watch that pretend it wasn't winter
And everywhere we go I can feel the subtle taste of the Dtalk groan and the locker room where we stayed
And you're no better at swimming then you were in the beginning but you come over at night and we practice all the breathing.

Go all the way,
Have your fun, have it all
This will take you down
Get through the days
Do your thing, do it well
This will take you down
Go all the way
Have your fun, have it all
This will take you down
Get through the days
Do you your thing, do it well
This will take you down.

I'll pull the trick if I want to
I'll pull the trick and it comes true
I'm chewing gum and it's killing me
We're getting dead and it's the right way to do it
I see you happy in the front seat
I see you with all of your front teeth
You're allergic but you never said
We're getting dead and it's the right way
