Lorde's new song, which will be part of the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay 1" soundtrack, has been released.

Fans of both the singer and the movie franchise will be happy to learn that Lorde's new song called "Yellow Flicker Beat" was uploaded online and can be streamed for free.

Details of the song have been kept secret until it was released and people have been guessing as to how it sound, but on the day of its release, which is consequently the one-year anniversary of "Pure Heroine," Lorde posted a message on her Tumblr account.

The statement said:

"I'm sitting up in bed, moving through desert halfway between Utah and Las Vegas. Yesterday was our ninth show in eleven days. Every night, after I play, and say hi, and take pictures, and I walk up the stairs and we go on our way, I set up in this little bed office. I work from mdinight until late on the soundtrack, singing into my computer, listening to demos and final mixes. My bus sleeps. We are almost at the end, the point where this soundtrack gets taken away from me and becomes something real. I'm reminded of this day last year, when "Pure Heroine" came out in this country. The feelings something very solitary that I had worked on spinning around and around further away from me, becoming someone else's, everyone's. The past year of my life has seen everything around me multiply in size and number - the stamps on my passport, the number of people I have to ask before I ride on the ferris wheel after my set at a festival, the decibels that follow me when I walk around in public. The other thing that's grwon is me - my fitness, my mental stamina, my ability to think clearly and make decisions - but most of all, my capacity for love. The thousands up thousands (wait, millions(?!!)) of you who bought "Pure Heroine" truly feel like friends to me - it's no coincidence I'm posting this note here, where I feel the most happy and safe online, the place where I laugh the most and where every day, I feel like people get me. I never knew I could feel such a warm heart for this many people at once. Thank you for hearing about me all those months ago, and sticking around. Thank you for being here.

Now, about this song - "Yellow Flicker Beat." It's my first offering from what I hope will be a soundtrack you love. It's my attempt at getting inside her head, Katniss'. I hope you like it."

The seventeen-year-old New Zealand native was also tasked with curating the rest of the songs that will be included in the soundtrack. The "Hunger Games: Mockingjay 1" will open on November 21.
