Ellie Goulding – “Destiny” Single
A sultry slice of soothing pop, “Destiny” marks a defiant and liberating new chapter for global superstar Ellie Goulding. Produced by Jack Rochon (Kehlani, Beyoncé) and co-written with Kurtis Wells and Livvi Franc, the single blends lush, atmospheric textures with Goulding’s signature ethereal vocals to create something both intimate and expansive.
Teased on socials earlier this month, the release has already ignited excitement among fans, heralding what promises to be one of Ellie’s most powerful and transformative eras yet, with more music to be released next year
Speaking about the track, Ellie explains, “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.”
