On her first proper single since “First Time” with producer Kygo, Ellie Goulding teams up with producer Diplo and rapper Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd for the trap-poppy “Close to Me,” written about the connection of two kindred spirits.

The song was premiered via BBC Radio 1 and released on October 24, 2018.

On the track, Goulding & Lee duet about their significant others who fuel their fire and how wild they are with them. For Goulding, this collaboration comes after her engagement with Casper Jopling.
