Lorde announced on March 18, 2026, that she is now an independent artist after her long-term contract with Universal Music Group concluded at the end of last year. The deal, which began when she was 12 years old, covered her first four albums. She described the move as providing a 'clean slate' while expressing fondness for her former label.
Lorde marked the one-year anniversary of her album Virgin by releasing 49 demo versions of its songs along with a personal newsletter to fans.
