"It's almost like we don't even accept that we're human anymore, like we're trying to shoot ourselves out of it and explain every single thing - which I think is great, but that's also why the world is shit, this idea that you can figure out and win life or something. The doubleness of 'Dopamine' is having an emotion that is super"
"I know it's just dopamine / But it feels so real to me,"
"I'm tripping on our chemistry / It's firing up inside of me."
"Nothing's ever gonna cut you as deep / As the very first time,"
Robyn released "Dopamine" on November 12 as her first new music since 2018's Honey. The track pairs clear, crystalline vocals with a hypnotic, club-ready beat that evokes a sweaty dance-floor revelation. Lyrically the song probes whether the rush of attraction is a genuine feeling or merely dopamine-fueled chemistry. The Marili Andre-directed video shows Robyn dancing alone across looks — naked with sparklers, in sweats, and in high-fashion clubwear — culminating in a rain-soaked release. The song situates contemporary biometric awareness against the doubleness of experiencing and decoding emotion.
