Press play, feel everything: Robyn shoots ‘Dopamine’ into the popstream
Seven long years. That’s how long it’s been since Robyn last pulled us into her neon-tinted world of heartbreak, rhythm, and catharsis. The Swedish pop alchemist is finally back, breaking her silence with a brand-new single titled “Dopamine”, out now via Young (also home of music powerhouses such as FKA Twigs, The XX, Sampha and many more S-tier artists). And judging by the title alone, it’s clear Robyn is here to spark something primal. a chemical, emotional, maybe even physical reaction.
For those who remember Dancing On My Own, Call Your Girlfriend, or the Honey era, you’ll know Robyn doesn’t just make pop songs, she crafts moments. Tear-stained bangers designed for that exact 3 a.m. dance-floor epiphany when joy and sadness finally make peace under a strobe light.
I know it’s just dopamine
But it feels so real to me
Rumor has it “Dopamine” serves as the opening salvo for a new album, her first since 2018’s Honey. And one that reportedly fuses her trademark emotional precision with a more experimental edge. Think vintage synths, analog grit, and lyrics that hit where the heart forgot to build armor.
If her past work was about reclaiming pain through motion, Dopamine seems set to celebrate the sheer pleasure of being alive. Or at least, of feeling again. It’s Robyn at her most self-aware and self-renewed: a seasoned architect of euphoria who knows exactly which frequencies trigger the tears you didn’t know you still needed to shed.
So yes, she’s back. Not to catch up — but to remind everyone how it’s done.
“Dopamine” out now, via Young.
