"Power" is a song by English singer Ellie Goulding, released as the second single from Goulding's fourth studio album Brightest Blue, through Polydor Records on 21 May 2020. It was written by Goulding and its producers Jonny Coffer and Jamie Scott. Digital Farm Animals, Lucy Taylor and Jack Tarrant were added to the songwriting credited because the song interpolates English singer Dua Lipa's song "Be the One" (2015).^[2] David Paich was also added because of the verse's similarity to the Toto song "Georgy Porgy" (1979).^[3]^[4]^[5]

Background and release

"Power is about relationships in the 21st century, how they can now be dictated by social media, superficiality and material things. The girl in the song is disillusioned by love and the cruel, good looking, self-obsessed people she keeps ending up with."
— Goulding, "Ellie Goulding Releases 'Power' from Upcoming New Album", Press Party^[6]

On 19 May, Goulding posted a video on social media with a quote "Are you running out of power?" The video shows a cell phone interface.^[7] The following day, she announced the song's title and release date; its cover art was also posted that day.^[8] The singer self-shot the song's accompanying video from her home while in lockdown in London. It features Goulding dressed in various outfits in split screen, full shots and selfies.^[5]
