“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…To me it sounds like surrender.

Moreover, she insinuated that a possible collaboration with Muse’s Matt Bellamy might be in the making. They coincided when recording in a studio and started to create something new together. “We were all just messing around. It was funny, Matt Bellamy from Muse was in the next room recording something, which I then got involved in”, Ellie told The Sun. “I never thought I could say I have a song with Matt Bellamy from Muse, but now I can say that”.
The Lights artist also commented about the album’s composition process in an interview with Sun. “I’ve been writing about what’s been going on in my life,” Goulding told The Sun, however she refused to give an estimated release date. “But also just observations, friends, my connection with nature — the usual things that I tend to gravitate towards writing about, maybe slightly more elevated or evolved from the last album”.
On the other hand, Goulding admitted that all of these new productions come from a very special and personal place. “Songs don’t come that easily to me, especially when they’re from more of a personal place. Sometimes the best songs come from just sitting around, drinking tea, talking. It’s been time-consuming, but it’s time that I’ve needed to take”, said Ellie.
