Lorde’s younger sister Indy Yelich O’Connor has announced her debut EP.

Threads arrives on February 17. As part of the announcement, Indy shared the song “Hometown”.

“‘Hometown’ is about the memories from my teen years in suburbia that I’ll never forget,” Indy said in a statement. “I wrote this song with Casey Smith at Ryan Tedder’s house, sitting on the floor playing notes on the piano while the light streamed in. This song took me four years to finish because I felt like the song was so important and I wanted to get it right. I finished it with Miro Mackie and Daniel Chae, and they really brought it back to life.”

She continued saying, “This song is very nostalgic for me, as it makes me think of driving through the suburbs, taking the long way to go past an ex’s house, returning from the big city, and staying at your parent’s. Everybody has somebody from their past they hold close. Knowing you’ve outgrown this person, the first inklings of real love, innocence, the sadness of having to let them go.”
