After a week of Instagram teases, the song Lorde wrote for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" has arrived. Her first post-"Pure Heroine" single, "Yellow Flicker Beat" uses the same pulsating tones that made Lorde's debut album one of 2013's most celebrated releases.

"It’s my first offering from what I hope will be a soundtrack you love," the singer wrote on her Tumblr. "It’s my attempt at getting inside her head, Katniss’. I hope you like it."

Lorde is curating the entire "Mockingjay - Part 1" soundtrack, which is out Nov. 18. The movie opens Nov. 21.
