Ellie Goulding<\/a> returned to Late Show With Steven Colbert<\/em> on Monday to perform her new single, \u201cFlux<\/a>.\u201d She previously made her debut on the show last month when she delivered \u201cClose to Me<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, Goulding and her backing band, which included backup female singers and a string section, appeared at first in black and white. As the piano-led, strings-tipped ballad about regret and longing for past love progressed to the emotive chorus, Goulding appeared in full color for the remainder of the performance.<\/p>\n

The colorized approach highlighted the heartfelt yearning of the chorus. \u201cI\u2019m still in love with the idea of loving you\/It\u2019s a state of flux, but it\u2019s not enough,\u201d she sang. \u201cAnd I\u2019m still in love with the idea of loving you\/It\u2019s a state of flux, I just keep holding on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Flux\u2019 is a song that I wrote entirely from the heart that seemed to capture how I felt about not ever being able to let go of a past love, even though it was over for a reason,\u201d Goulding said in a statement about the song<\/a> that accompanied its video. \u201cI feel like I am in a constant state of change and upheaval and it makes me unable to root myself and get over things easily.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn this record I found myself taking inspiration from different relationships and stages in my life,\u201d she continued. \u201cThe past two years have been the first time I\u2019ve really been able to confront my survival techniques throughout my work \u2013 to be able to reflect on how being on tour nonstop, performing, and having to be \u2018OK\u2019 all the time affected me as a human being and how it took its toll on my relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the month, Goulding released new track, \u201cIn This Together<\/a>,\u201d which serves as a companion to the Netflix original series, Our Planet<\/em>.<\/p>\n
