Ellie Goulding is again with the sultry new track Future
The 38-year-old pop star is again together with her first new solo launch since her chart-topping 2023 album Greater Than Heaven.
The Miracle hitmaker admitted she felt empowered after placing all of herself into the track, quite than into “these males,” including that the choir and strings symbolize a “triumphant second of freedom, like leaping off a cliff”.
Ellie stated: “Recording this was like a catharsis, it made me really feel so significantly better – just like the prize was me all alongside. As a substitute of placing my the whole lot into these males, this track was my first feeling of straight-up escape and empowerment. Once I heard the monitor, I used to be in love with it. The concept of including the choir and strings on the finish was for it to turn into a triumphant second of freedom, like leaping off a cliff. To me it seems like give up. It seems like let it occur. That’s why it’s referred to as Future, it seems like what can be can be and accepting it.”
A music video for the hair-raising, ethereal tune, helmed by Floria Sigismondi, will land at 3pm GMT Friday (14.11.25).

The Lights singer – who has son Arthur, 4, together with her ex-husband Caspar Jopling – advised The Solar newspaper’s Weird column in 2024: “‘Greater Than Heaven’ was truly deliberately impersonal.
“It was post-baby, post-pandemic. I simply needed to write down some strong pop songs you can dance to. This time, it’s a bit totally different.”
Ellie admits that writing private songs is a “time-consuming” course of. However the pop star steered that her upcoming file can be “barely extra elevated or advanced from the final album”.
Ellie – who introduced her break up from artwork vendor Caspar in February 2024 – stated: “I’ve been writing about what’s been occurring in my life.
“But in addition simply observations, mates, my reference to nature – the same old issues that I are likely to gravitate in direction of writing about, perhaps barely extra elevated or advanced from the final album.
“I’ve had extra time to get within the studio and spend the time and sit.
“Songs don’t come that simply to me, particularly once they’re from extra of a private place.
“Typically the very best songs come from simply sitting round, consuming tea, speaking. It’s been time-consuming, but it surely’s time that I’ve wanted to take.”
Ellie’s new solo tune comes after she launched Free, her newest collaboration with celebrity DJ Calvin Harris, final 12 months.
