The video will follow on November 14th
Ellie Goulding returns with her incredible new single, “Destiny,” via Interscope Records. “Destiny” is the first new solo release since Ellie’s critically acclaimed 2023 album Higher Than Heaven.
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. Later this week, Goulding will release the new video for “Destiny,” directed by Floria Sigismondi.
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.
“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,” Goulding shares. “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.”
Stay tuned for more news from Ellie Goulding in the coming months.
