Ellie Goulding has returned with a new single, Destiny.
Co-written with Kurtis Wells and Livvi Franc, the intimate and atmospheric pop track features the BRIT-winner's signature ethereal vocals backed by a choir and strings.
It's her first solo release since her 2023 chart-topping album 'Higher Than Heaven'. Since then, the singer has appeared on a number of tracks and remixes from other artists, most recently teaming up with Avaion for Marshmello's Save My Love. Goulding said:
"Recording this was like a catharsis, it made me feel so much better - like the prize was me all along. Instead of putting my everything into these men, this song was my first feeling of straight-up escape and empowerment. When I heard the track I was in love with it. The idea of adding the choir and strings at the end was for it to become a triumphant moment of freedom like jumping off a cliff. To me it sounds like surrender. It sounds like let it happen. That’s why it is called Destiny, it sounds like what will be will be and accepting it."
The song's Floria Sigismondi-directed video is set to premiere on YouTube at 3pm GMT tomorrow (November 14).
