00:00Lorde says she doesn't know if she's ever really felt like a woman in candid confession.

00:06Lorde is opening up about self-discovery like never before.

00:10In a preview of her Tuesday, September 30th chat on Take 5 with Zan Rowe, the singer,

00:15who shot to fame at just 16 with her 2013 hit Royals,

00:19admitted she didn't fully grasp the weight of her early success.

00:23I don't totally understand that level of belief in myself, but I think you need that.

00:27That's the thing about being a teenager.

00:30You just sort of do have this unchecked confidence, she shared.

00:33Now, 12 years later, Lorde is reflecting on how much has changed, both personally and professionally.

00:40I sit before you a very different woman to the one I was before, she told Rowe.

00:45I don't know if I'd ever really felt like a woman.

00:48She shared that her latest album, Virgin, released on June 27th,

00:54and exploring deeper questions about identity and womanhood.

01:28And it's not about attacking their personality or anything about that other person.

01:32And I think the thing is, being a woman is very complex.

01:36Lorde's new album Virgin dropped on June 27th.

01:39Reflecting on the process, she shared,

01:41She reached out for me and held on.

01:43It felt like a crossroads moment where I had to decide the kind of woman I wanted to be.

01:47For her, the answer came naturally.

01:50I realized the only way this song could be finished was with my voice.
