Despite their mischief and mayhem, Goulding gradually gains control through sinister, supernatural means. She also hangs out with a flock of chickens, because why not?<\/p>\n<p>Goulding says of the new single: \u201c\u2019Worry About Me\u2019 is a song I wrote reminiscing about a time a guy wanted me at his convenience, just as I was getting over him. It is intentionally tongue-in-cheek because I\u2019m not at all bitter, I just found it humorous. It was refreshing to write, in the sunshine of L.A., because at the time I was writing dark songs about my state of mind in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blackbear adds, \u201cIt\u2019s a song with a passive yet descriptive message of independence, charisma and attitude while a statue of smooth still stands tall. I love this side of Ellie Goulding over this tempo and darker hip-hop production. Ellie, to me, is the voice of the U.K. and is a special artist and human. There was not a hint of hesitation or lack of enthusiasm to get this done asap and shoot a crazy video where I have a twin brother (dark <em>Parent Trap<\/em> for adults if you will).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorry About Me\u201d is Goulding\u2019s first new music release of 2020, and will be featured on an upcoming album, due out June 5th.
