quot;Writer In the Dark" is a song from Lorde's sophomore album, Melodrama. During an interview, Lorde sang a line from one of her "favorite tracks" on the album, "Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark". Later, the track list revealed it was in fact titled "Writer in the Dark". About the song, Lorde said: "I think that when you do this, you have to find a way to live with yourself, because it’s not making no one feel anything. A handful of people will listen to this album and have it sort of get them [in the gut]. But it was important for me to say. And I don’t think that song is apologising for it. It’s more like, what did you think was going to happen? I was doing this before I met you and I’ll be doing this after you’re gone… I felt quite empowered. It was weird, I woke up in the middle of the night and was lying next to someone. And I wrote it down on my phone and I was like, ‘Oh God, I feel so naughty writing this!’ While somebody’s sleeping, like an evil witch. But I really love that song. I feel like it’s such a cool, painful moment in the record."
