Ellie Goulding Returns With 'Easy Lover (feat. Big Sean)' - Listen & Read the Lyrics

Ellie Goulding is back!

The 35-year-old singer-songwriter returned on Friday (July 15) with a brand new song called “Easy Lover,” her first since 2020′s Brightest Blue.

The track features Big Sean, and is the first of more music still to come later this year.

It was written and produced with Greg Kurstin and Julia Michaels, and came with a Sophia Ray-directed music video that finds her encountering a creature that takes the form of humans.

Watch the music video and read the lyrics…

“I wrote ‘Easy Lover’ in LA with Julia Michaels after conversations about the age-old tale of being infatuated by someone cool and beautiful knowing that they will never quite feel the same. It’s about going back to the same dangerous person to feel alive when you know they have hurt people again and again before you. Having the legendary Greg Kurstin produce any song of mine is always a dream come true. He always understands the assignment!” she said of the track.

Watch the video above, and check out the lyrics below.
