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.
