Ellie Goulding : It's about letting go. As opposed to all the sad and depressing things I write about, I decided to write something about the joining together of people in some kind of euphoric state—be it at a festival, at a show or in a club. I wanted a song that would reach out to people of every background and every enjoyment, whether you enjoy a natural high, taking drugs, drinking or whatever. Because I'm essentially a pop artist I wanted to write a song that everyone can relate to.

Ellie Goulding : I've written a lot of songs that are emotionally heavy but this one has a lighter feel. It's about being in a euphoric state where you can forget everything bad for a while. I'm hoping it will be my song to do that at festivals and clubs. I don't drink or take drugs so it's nice to feel distracted in a natural way.
I was really shy when we made the video for my first single, Under The Sheets but by Starry Eyed I let myself out a bit more. I've made two music videos. It's really fun, but you have to be tough to do an eighteen-hour day. It's amazing to see the end result.
