Following the success of her recent smash, “Close To Me,” which hit #1 at Hot AC and top 5 at Top 40 radio formats,“Hate Me” sees Ellie team up with critically acclaimed artist Juice WRLD, whose recent album Death Race For Love, (released in March on Grade A Productions/Interscope Records) debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. The contagious new track straddles the line between R&B and pop, and was written by Goulding and Juice WRLD and produced by Jason Evigan (Demi Lovato, Madonna) & The Monsters and Strangerz (Britney Spears, J Lo, Kanye West). Poised to be the soundtrack of the summer, Ellie comments, “I love how this song is a bit tongue in cheek, it’s definitely lyrically different to most of my other songs but it’s fun to play around a bit.”

Fresh off appearances at radio shows across the U.S., Ellie also performed on Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series at the iconic Summer Stage, Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. She wowed the crowd with performances of new and old hits, showcasing her impressive body of work. Watch her performance of “Close To Me,” here and “Burn” here. As part of the broadcast, Ellie was also presented with YouTube’s Diamond Award, celebrating 10 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, joining only a handful of British artists to celebrate this achievement including Coldplay, Adele, Little Mix, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa. Additionally, she has ammassed over 5 billion views globally, with “Love Me Like You Do,” among the top 40 most viewed videos on YouTube, and two videos in YouTube’s Billion Views Club.

Additional new tracks Ellie has released include “Sixteen” and “Flux.” UPROXX said, “‘Sixteen” is a “beautiful and nostalgic song” — watch the video here. The FADER called “Flux,” “an aching ballad about not ever being able to let go of a past love” — watch the video here. Goulding also contributed an original song to For The Throne (Music Inspired by the HBO Series Game of Thrones), and was enlisted by composer Steven Price to provide vocals for “In This Together,” a track for Netflix’s “Our Planet” nature documentary series with David Attenborough.
