Patience is the name of the game on "Yellow Flicker Beat." Lorde starts slow on this track, slurring her words from one bar to the next, preparing listeners for what's to come. She sings out of the side of her mouth, "I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire," before the song's grandiose and energetic drop. The pace of "Yellow Flicker Beat" escalates with every hook, giving Lorde a powerful soundtrack for her digressions. Listen to "Yellow Flicker Beat" above, and catch it on the soundtrack to The Hunger Games: The Mockingjay Part 1.
