I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article :
 * I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.
 * Fix layout.
 * 1a issue:  The lead says "… released on Lorde's Vevo channel on 3 December 2013." The Music video section says "On 4 December 2013 the video was released on Lorde's official VEVO channel …"

Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. You've done great work, and I am quite happy to assist you in improving it. All the best, --  Seabuckthorn   ♥  12:57, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think all your issues have been addressed &mdash; Simon (talk) 05:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks --  Seabuckthorn   ♥  09:53, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
