I do my makeup in somebody else's car We order different drinks at the same bars I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar (Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar) Those great whites, they have big teeth Hope they bite you Thought you said that you would always be in love But you're not in love no more Did it frighten you How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor? On the light up floor But I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my mind But, honey, I'll be seein' you 'ever I go But, honey, I'll be seein' you down every road (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) 'Cause, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom I whisper things, the city sings 'em back to you All those rumours, they have big teeth Hope they bite you Thought you said that you would always be in love But you're not in love no more Did it frighten you How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor? On the light up floor But I hear sounds in my mind Brand new sounds in my mind But, honey, I'll be seein' you 'ever I go But, honey, I'll be seein' you down every road (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) 'Cause, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) Oh, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) Yeah, honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) Oh, I wish I could get my things and just let go (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it) I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it

A letra utiliza o sinal de trânsito de "luz verde" como uma metáfora para permissão, simbolizando o momento em que Lorde decide seguir em frente na vida após uma separação.
O clipe, dirigido por Grant Singer, filmou cenas principalmente no MacArthur Park, em Los Angeles, mostrando a artista deixando uma boate e caminhando pelas ruas da cidade.
A música conquistou o prêmio Silver Scroll Award na cerimônia dos New Zealand APRA Awards e figurou em diversas listas de fim de ano e de década.
Commercialmente, a faixa alcançou o topo das paradas na Nova Zelândia e recebeu certificações de platina ou multi-platina em países como Austrália, Brasil, Canadá e Estados Unidos.
Um remix realizado pela dupla canadense de electro-funk Chromeo foi lançado em 19 de maio de 2017, adicionando nova vida à faixa original.
Lorde incluiu "Green Light" nas listas de músicas de suas turnês Melodrama (2017–2018), Solar Power (2022–2023) e a futura Ultrasound (2025-26).
