To be released sometime this summer.

From The Sun:

Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding are back in the studio working on even more songs after already having three smash hits together. The duo, who first teamed up in 2013 on "I Need Your Love" and then "Outside" the year after, are hoping to release their next collaboration this summer. It will serve as the follow-up to 2023's "Miracle", which topped the UK chart for eight weeks and got them a Brit Award nomination.

A source added the following:

"Calvin and Ellie are close friends and love working together. When they are in the studio they just click and create great tracks. Nothing is set in stone but they have been quietly back in the studio together and are looking to release a new song in time for the summer. It could even turn into a bigger joint project, but right now getting a single out is the priority."

Hopefully better than their last song. I'm still not sure how they went from I Need Your Love and Outside to that...

I thought "Miracle" was good but not really accessible. Interested to see the direction they go with this one.

I've loved all of their collabs. Excited for the new one and also for the possible joint project

When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought "they may as well release a whole EP/album at this point." Good to see that may be in the cards after all.

Meh, as someone who enjoys their other collabs, I feel like I like each one less than the one that came before.

Out next Friday. Available to pre-save here.

This is beyond awful. The production goes nowhere and the lyrics are basically non existent. Initial beta versions ChatGPT could have made better lyrics than this! Let me go listen to I Need Your Love… “I need to be free with you tonight…”

Agreed. I'm so disappointed in this. All that hype and build up for what? Also Ellie's vocals seem too low in the mix. It could have been my Spotify stream, but it's probably the mix in general that's bad.

Agreed. Did they really scrap the Miley collab for this?!

[eyeofthestorm]

I like it, but it does feel like a rehash and that its missing something to make it epic.

Got damn this song is amazing. Loved it the first time I heard it. What are y’all listening too ?
