Lorde has deleted all content from her social media accounts, leading fans to speculate if new music is on the way.

The singer, whose last album came in 2021’s Solar Power, has cleared all posts on her Instagram and X/Twitter all accounts – sparking speculation that new music could be forthcoming.

“Lorde deleting all her insta…oh LORDETEMBER is coming,” wrote one fan.

The latest development comes after the singer shared precisely one second of new music on her Instagram story last month. The singer said she would be “back in touch” as she shared the video from a recording studio, with the music hinting at a new techno direction.

In June, the singer featured on a surprise remix of  Charli XCX‘s ‘Girl, So Confusing’, a song dedicated to Lorde by Charli in the first place.

On the original track, Charli sings about her overthinking, insecure tendencies around her “awkward,” frenemy relationship with a fellow singer, whom she doesn’t “have much in common” besides being two of the internet’s favorite artists.

“People say we’re alike/They say we’ve got the same hair/We talk about making music/ But I don’t know if it’s honest,” sings Charli in the track’s pre-chorus before she repeats the refrain, “It’s so confusing, sometimes, to be a girl.”

Lorde, meanwhile, recently praised Charli’s Brat as “the only album I’ve ever pre-saved”.
