Fallen Fruit (song)

[1] The song was written and produced by Lorde and Jack Antonoff, and features backing vocals from Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, Marlon Williams, and Lawrence Arabia.

[4] Laura Snapes of The Guardian described "Fallen Fruit" as a protest song, calling it a "crushed flower-power lament for the spoiled Eden her generation inherited".

[7] In NME, Rhian Daly wrote that "'Fallen Fruit' takes on the generations that came before us, condemning them, over unsettling folk music", and cited the track's usage of Mellotron and Wurlitzer as sounding "like they've been pulled from the soil rather than coursing with electricity".

[10] Slant writer Sal Cinquemani called "Fallen Fruit" the "centerpiece" of Solar Power, asserting that the song "addresses the climate crisis with an almost whimsical sense of wonder, as Lorde softly chastises past generations for allowing such destruction".

[15] Billboard writer Heran Mamo stated that "the video poignantly reminds us of the fragility of life on Earth, with the Garden of Eden metaphor referenced in the song's title leading to Lorde's main point that our greatest sin would be to leave our home uninhabitable for generations to come after us".

The song was translated into Māori by Tīmoti Kāretu, and features vocals from Hinewehi Mohi, Hēmi Kelly, Bic Runga, and Hana Mereraiha.
