In 2018 Ellie Goulding released a sleeper hit with the single "Close To Me" featuring producer Diplo & rapper Swae Lee.

Ellie Goulding X Diplo - Close To Me (Red Velvet Remix) Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Ellie Goulding]
Even though we both know we're liars and we start each other's fires
We just know that we'll be alright
Even though we're kicked out the party 'cause we both hate everybody
We're the ones they wanna be like
[Pre-Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
So don't let me down
Keep me in trouble
Born to be wild
Out in the jungle
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body
Close to me
And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody
Close to me
'Cause I'm an animal, animal-al
Like animal, like you
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body
Close to me

And I don't wanna be somebody without your body

[Outro: Ellie Goulding]
