On July 31st, Lorde was announced to be the curator of the soundtrack, following her contribution with ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World, which was a part of the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. 

Yellow Flicker Beat‘ was just released as the first song from the soundtrack, and was made by herself. On Tumblr, she made a post, where she described the song with: “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.”

Earlier this week she also teased a part of the lyrics, “and the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold. My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones”, by writing it on two photos she posted on her social media accounts.

Director, Francis Lawrence talked about Lorde in an interview saying: “Her immense talent and keen understanding of Mockingjay’s characters and themes not only have enabled her to create a song of her own that completely captures the film’s essence, but her insight and passion for our project make her the perfect creative force to assemble the other songs on our soundtrack.”

The full soundtrack will be released on November 18, which is just three days before the movie premiere (November 21).

Lorde also recently topped Billboards ’21 Under 21′ list with 5 Seconds Of Summer and Justin Bieber as the second and third.
