With her first original song since the 2013 album that produced the Grammy-winning "Royals," Lorde has officially given us the first taste of her extensive work on the upcoming soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay -- Part 1. The singer-songwriter released the track "Yellow Flicker Beat" earlier on Monday, previewing a dark, moody vibe not unlike the tone of the film, which will follow Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) as she pieces together a rebellion against the Capitol and the wicked President Snow.

Listen to the song below.

What's interesting about this collaboration is that Lorde didn't just produce one song for the movie; instead, she was tasked with curating the entire soundtrack. “It's my first offering from what I hope will be a soundtrack you love,” the 17-year-old Lorde wrote on her blog. “It's my attempt at getting inside her head, Katniss'. I hope you like it.”

For those who want to sing along, here are the lyrics for "Yellow Flicker Beat." You'll notice how they definitely feel like the sort of thoughts that would be running through Katniss' head as she prepares for battle.

"Yellow Flicker Beat" Lyrics

i’m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm

and the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold

my blood is a flood 

of rubies, precious stones

it keeps my veins hot

the fire’s found a home in me

i move through town i’m quiet like a fight

and my necklace is of rope, i tie it and untie

people talk to me, but nothing ever hits home

people talk to me and all the voices just burn holes

I’M DONE WITH IT (oooooh)

this is the start

of how it all ends

they used to shout my name now they whisper it

i’m speeding up

and this is the red orange yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart 

we’re at the start

the colours disappear

i never watch the stars, there’s so much down here

so i just try 

keep up with the red orange yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

i dream all year but they’re not the sweet kind 

and the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time

people talk to me, i’m slipping out of reach now

people talk to me and all their faces blur

but i got my fingers laced together and i made a little prison and I’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me

CHORUS
