We have lyrics for Close To Me by these artists: The Cure Ive waited hours for this Ive made myself so sick I -M Jai tellement attendu a ma rendu. “When I first heard Juice Wrld, I was like, ‘Damn, I need to do something with this kid,’” she says of the rapper, who appears on her gold single “Hate Me,” which had a chart resurgence after trending on TikTok. She’s stayed on top of the game by staying on top of new music and seeking out promising collaborators.

It was a nice, pleasant surprise that it ended up doing so well it was not really intended.”ĭespite her knack for stumbling onto hits, Goulding’s longevity has been no accident. “And then I jokingly sang this chorus thing - ’I don’t want to be somebody without your body close to me.’ It’s really simple, but it worked. “We were coming up with lyrics, and we kind of hit a wall,” Goulding says. “Close to Me,” a collaboration with Diplo and Swae Lee, also came about during a brainstorming session with frequent collaborator Savan Kotecha. I was like, ‘I’m really sorry - nothing quite works for me,’ and he was like, ‘OK, well, there’s this one other thing, but it’s weird.’ Then he played me, and I was like, ‘That’s it. “Then I remember everything he played to me just didn’t resonate. “When I was a kid, I idolized Spice Girls, and so the idea of writing with the mastermind behind them was massive,” she says. And in true Goulding anything-could-happen fashion, “Lights” came about in a most unpredictable way, at the end of a nearly fruitless creative session with Spice Girls producer and songwriter Richard Stannard. hits that have continued through the decade, including the “Fifty Shades of Grey” smash “Love Me Like You Do,” her Calvin Harris collaborations “I Need Your Love” and “Outside,” and her latest can’t-escape-it single “Close to Me.” That’s about five times the lifespan of many pop stars. 49 in the U.K., it started a string of U.S. "I would have told myself that it's going to be fine.Although the single stalled at No. I just wasn't as confident as I could have been," says Goulding, scolding herself for having the anxiety and impatience of any young woman, especially any young woman poised on the brink of fame. "If I had known what I know now, I would have told myself to wait and build my craft and get stronger and get better at writing songs, get better at singing. But her own type of toughness is no less genuine. "I haven't encountered many boxers-I bet you as soon as I go down to a public boxing ring, I would just be like." her voice trails off, indicating her respect for the real competitors. As for those workouts, she says, "I could be so much fitter," but she just finished a brief hiatus from workouts she loves boxing classes but has never sparred in a ring. Goulding is hard on herself but says she's not a perfectionist. Martens face the crowd, Goulding, who goes to the gym at least five days a week, is performing an athletic feat as much as a musical one. Hair flying, jumping so the soles of her Dr. I think I'm quite balanced." Underscoring her point, Goulding takes out her iPhone again and swipes to a picture of herself onstage. "I drink I get hungover I eat a lot of chocolate," she says. The reason I want to be a bigger artist is so that I can change things."īut just when she senses she might be getting grandiose, Goulding brings herself back down to earth. I want to find ways of making people more compassionate.

There are so many things I want to change: homelessness, poaching. "If you really study my lyrics, there are a few subliminal things.

"Since I was young, I've thought about the planet," says Goulding, who has been a vegetarian for two years. In fact, if her songs have any dark undercurrents, they're about universal issues, not personal ones. The grit that has propelled Goulding in her career hasn't hardened her music. "I also think being a musician and being surrounded by males in the music industry-it really toughens you up to not put up with any bullshit."

"A lot of women don't have the freedom to be able to wear what they want and do what they want," she says. Goulding says she became a feminist the day her father walked out. I think it's made me a harder person." Not to mention a self-reliant one. "Having a dad as a kid makes you feel protected," she says.
