Los Angeles, Nov 15 (NationPress) British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, renowned for her hit ‘Love Me Like You Do’, has revealed that music served as her refuge during challenging times.

The artist expressed that her craft played a pivotal role in helping her overcome the emotional turmoil following her divorce, as reported by Female First UK.

At 38, Goulding has made a comeback with her latest single ‘Destiny’, marking her first solo release since the 2023 album Higher Than Heaven. She shared that returning to the studio aided her in regaining strength after parting ways with Caspar Jopling.

In an interview with NME, she stated, “No matter how resilient you think you are, separating from your husband is an immense challenge. It resembles a grieving process because you’re not just losing a person but also the envisioned future.”

She elaborated, “The journey was lengthy, but it felt like a significant achievement to gradually wake up each day and feel a little less burdened. Although the pain hasn’t disappeared, I view every small improvement as a victory. Channeling my emotions into poetry and lyrics, and then into songs like ‘Destiny’, felt incredibly fulfilling. I took pride in the steps I took to rediscover myself. Pain is inevitable; we must transform it into something positive.”

According to Female First UK, Goulding, who shares a four-year-old son named Arthur with her ex-husband, confessed that she felt at a loss and turned to music as a means to heal her heart.

Regarding her new single, she mentioned, “I first encountered this track shortly after my separation. That period was chaotic as I tried to navigate what felt like the ultimate separation. It was more than just a relationship; it was a marriage. Music was my only solace.”

“I discovered Jack Rochon, who was primarily producing trap music, playing guitar beautifully on Instagram, and I was instantly captivated. I reached out to him via DM, expressing my desire to collaborate, and we began our journey that very day,” she added.
