The album is available for pre-order from 28 October and will be released by Republic on 17 November 2014. The fifth track in the soundtrack has still not been announced. “It was really important to me with the soundtrack that people know how involved I was,” Lorde told Billboard. “A lot of that was me reaching out to people directly, having a conversation on the phone, sending an email, sending a text, because I wanted people to know that your song isn’t just going to be flung into some pot and chosen later. I really cared about what was happening.”
