Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding have joined forces once again for a brand-new single that's sure to be the anthem of the summer. The DJ, producer, and songwriter has been teasing this track on social media, and recently, the duo gave fans a sneak peek during a live set at Ushuaïa in Ibiza.
“I’m free/ When I’m with you I’m free,” Goulding sings in the euphoric chorus, set against vibrant house piano stabs. Later in the song, she confesses, “What do I say now?/ Don’t want to fall in love/ I’m not afraid now/ Eyes closed.”
Released today (July 26), the uplifting track is accompanied by a colorful lyric video that's just as vibrant as the song itself.
This latest collaboration follows their chart-topping hit ‘Miracle’ from last year, which completed their trilogy of hits that began with 2012’s "I Need Your Love" and 2014’s "Outside". ‘Miracle’ even snagged a Song Of The Year nomination at the 2024 BRIT Awards, though it ultimately lost to Raye and 070 Shake’s "Escapism".
Harris and Goulding also performed "Miracle" live at the BRITs, a performance that remains one of the highlights of the ceremony.
In a previous interview with Hits Radio, Harris praised Goulding, saying, “Ellie has the three good things about working with somebody. A spectacular unique voice and delivery that can carry a song emotionally.” Goulding added, “I feel like we just have a ‘thing’, I don’t know what it is, it’s hard to explain.”
In other news, Harris seems to have shelved a rumored collaboration with Miley Cyrus titled ‘Ocean’. He has also hinted at plans to step back from DJing when he turns 50 to focus more on producing music in the studio.
This dynamic duo’s latest release is set to dominate the airwaves, proving once again that their musical chemistry is unmatched.
