Ellie Goulding’s next album is coming our way this year, and she gave us another single that got us excited about its release. The Blackbear collaboration “Worry About Me” is here, and it comes with a surreal music video that perfectly matches its tone.

“Worry About Me” is a pretty personal song for Goulding, who drew inspiration from an experience with a “guy [who] wanted [her] at his convenience” at the time when she was close to getting over him.

“It is intentionally tongue-in-cheek because I’m 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,” the British singer explained in a statement.

“Worry About Me” is Goulding’s first release this year, and it’s expected to be featured on her fourth studio album, set to come out on June 5th. We’re yet to see if her previously released singles “Flux”, “Sixteen”, and the Juice WRLD collaboration “Hate Me” will make it to this record.
