Robyn Returns to the Dance Floor With Euphoric New Single "Dopamine"
Seven years after releasing her last solo single, Swedish dance-pop icon Robyn has finally returned with a brand new track that's sure to get your heart racing. "Dopamine" is an unapologetically catchy and upbeat song that showcases the singer-songwriter's signature style, expertly blending infectious beats, soaring vocals, and a dash of introspection.
Produced by longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, "Dopamine" embodies everything we've come to expect from Robyn: a dance floor banger with a hypnotic pulse that's impossible to shake off. The song's music video, directed by Marili Andre, sees Robyn dancing her way through the highs and lows of life in a visually striking and energetic spectacle.
In an interview to promote the release, Robyn spoke candidly about the inspiration behind "Dopamine". She discussed how our reliance on technology to track our emotions has led to a disconnection from our humanity, stating, "We're learning how to decode our emotions through hormones and chemical substances in our bodies... It's almost like we don’t even accept that we’re human anymore." The song, she explained, is about embracing this duality – acknowledging the intense, physical responses that come with experiencing life, while also recognizing their biological basis.
With "Dopamine", Robyn potentially cues up a new album, which would be her first since 2018's critically-acclaimed "Honey". Despite a relatively quiet period on the music scene, Robyn has continued to collaborate with an impressive range of artists, including SG Lewis, Channel Tres, Jónsi, Smile, and Jamie XX. Her recent reissue of her self-titled 2005 album has also sparked renewed interest in her back catalogue.
As for "Dopamine", it's clear that Robyn is still the master of crafting infectious, dance-driven pop that gets under your skin. With its unrelenting energy and introspective lyrics, this latest single is a compelling reminder of why we've been waiting so patiently for new music from one of the most innovative voices in contemporary pop.

7 years feels like an eternity since her last single and I was starting to think she'd forgotten how to make a catchy tune . but seriously though, "Dopamine" is fire 
and I love that she's still pushing the boundaries of pop music. maybe this means we'll get another album soon... fingers crossed, my anxiety levels will finally be able to keep up with her release schedule 
that we forget to feel anything else besides this rush of excitement or anxiety. robyn's song is like, a reminder to slow down and appreciate the messy humanity that comes with it all 
. we're trying to decode our emotions through tech now, but what about just feeling them? feeling the sun on your skin, the beat in your chest, the tears in your eyes... doesn't that count too? 
it's like she just stepped out of a timemachine or something, all these crazy tech things are changing us but she's still got that magic 
we've been missing out on some serious rnb vibes for years now and i'm low-key freaking out thinking this might be the start of a new album 
her collaborations with ppl like SG Lewis and Jamie XX have been fire 
just listened to Robyn's new single "Dopamine" and I'm OBSESSED 
it's like she's still got that magic touch! 7 years is a looong time to wait for new music, but trust me when I say this song is WORTH IT 
her vocals are on point as always and the production is straight fire 
Robyn's got some real thoughts on that 
the way she blends catchy beats with introspective lyrics is pure magic 
it's like she's speaking straight to your soul, you feel? anyway, can't wait to see what else she's got in store for us - i've been listening to her old albums nonstop since this news broke 
and i'm so glad her recent reissue has brought back some love for her older stuff... 7 years is a looong time to wait for new music, but robyn never fails to deliver 
! Seven years is a looong time to be waiting for new music, but she's definitely delivering on her promise. I mean, who can resist that infectious beat and soaring vocals? 
It's like she's plugged back into the old vibe, you know? The way she weaves together these catchy melodies and introspective lyrics is just pure magic
