Lorde has always been mature for her age, but in her latest single, "Magnets", fans might forget that the New Zealand singer is only 18. After all, People took note that her first single since "Yellow Flicker Beat" has swanky parties, making out with a gorgeous (married) man, and playing with fire --- literally.

In Style reported that for this video, Lorde teamed up with British dance music team Disclosure to create the moody, sort of film noir music video. In it, Lorde portrayed a young siren who has an affair with a Christian Grey type of man at a party in his Hollywood Hills home.

Unfortunately, the man is married to a seemingly uptight woman in a ponytail and buttoned-up blouse. "Pretty girls don't know the things that I know. Walk my way, I'll share the things that she won't," Lorde was singing.

However, instead of getting her claws on the married man and disposing of the wife, "Fatal Attraction" style, she exacts a revenge on her behalf when she appears with a black eye.This is actually the turning point of the video, because while viewers would initially dub her character as a man-stealer... She's actually a hired assassin, which explains why his wife was mum after seeing him going at it with a younger woman.

And Lorde got the hired assassin look to boot. She appeared, dominatrix-style in a slinky trench coat and slicked black hair with her signature bold lips as she exacted revenge on the man who couldn't treat his woman right.

The singer explained the concept of the video, writing on her Tumblr site, "The most important detail is the girlfriend's black eye, when she's by the window.. watch it with that moment in mind. that's the point the whole video hinges on. Takes it from being 'an affair narrative' to being 'dude's girlfriend hired miss Ella the hit girl to 'seduce' him then take him the F*** out.'"

And she took him out in style, too, by making out with him before screaming and tipping him into the pool, which she also lit up in flames. And all these things conveniently looking over the Los Angeles lights. Beautiful, no?

On her blog, Lorde also shared her love for her latest video, adding that, "I'm super proud of this one. In my head, it's dark electric blues and greens, and it moves like liquid. Hope you like it."

Well, did you like it, or didn't you?
