Robyn makes her long-awaited return with ‘Dopamine,’ her first new single in seven years, accompanied by a striking performance video directed by Marili Andre. The track marks a powerful reunion with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, who co-wrote and produced several songs on her 2018 album ‘Honey.’ Teased over recent weeks, ‘Dopamine’ opens a new era for the Swedish pop innovator, blending introspection, rhythm, and raw emotion in her signature style. Watch the video below.
In a press release, Robyn described the song’s concept as a reflection on the chemistry of emotion: “Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we’re learning how to decode our emotions through the hormones and chemical substances in our bodies. The doubleness of ‘Dopamine’ is having an emotion that is super real, super strong, intense, enjoyable or painful, and at the same time knowing that this is just a biological process in my body—and then not to choose religion or science. To just accept that they’re there together and to be able to go in between.”
With ‘Dopamine,’ Robyn returns to the forefront of pop with clarity, courage, and the emotional depth that continues to define her artistry.
