Lorde is back with a new album, and it’s already got the internet deep in its feelings — and theories. Her brand-new album, Virgin, was released on June 27, and while the whole thing is full of emotional spiral-core energy, it’s the final track, “David,” that has everyone confused — and obsessed.
Here’s the thing: The song never actually mentions David. No “David” in the lyrics. No hints in the verses. Just a title — and that’s what’s driving fans into a Reddit-fueled frenzy. Is it a biblical reference? A marble statue? A glam rock legend? Nobody knows for sure, but the theories are interesting in the best way. I don’t have answers yet, but the speculation is half the fun.
So, who is David? Let’s get into some of the guesses.
More to come…
