On Melodrama, Lorde's second album from 2017, "Homemade Dynamite" is the moment the party catches fire. She wrote it with Tove Lo, Jakob Jerlström and Ludvig Söderberg, produced it with Frank Dukes and brought in Kuk Harrell to produce her vocals; Serban Ghenea mixed it, and Jack Antonoff is credited as executive producer alongside her.
The song rides the giddy high of a night at a house party with friends, and critics heard R&B and synth-pop built from a staccato hook, echoing percussion, hip-hop beats and vocal sound effects. Reviews were warm, singling out the writing, her delivery and the production. She debuted it at Coachella and took it to the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, and a remix with Khalid, Post Malone and SZA later became the album's third single.
