"Worry About Me" is a song by British singer Ellie Goulding featuring American rapper Blackbear, released as a single from Goulding's upcoming fourth studio album through Polydor Records on 13 March 2020. It was written by Goulding and Blackbear with Ilya Salmanzadeh, Peter Svensson and Savan Kotecha, and produced by Ilya. Its release was fast-tracked due to a leak in early March 2020.[1]
Background
After the song was leaked in March 2020, Goulding posted on social media on 5 March "Since one of you decided to leak it... Coming for you next Friday."[1]
Critical reception
Writing for Idolator, Mike Wass opined that Goulding "asserts her independence" on the track, "telling Mr. Clingy to stop sniffing around her business because she's bus[y] having fun [...] over Ilya's thunderous beats", concluding that it is a "banger".[2] Caian Nunes of Popline wrote that Goulding finds "great inspiration in hip-hop" on the track "without losing her pop [sound]".[3]
Music video
The music video was directed by Emil Nava and was released on Goulding's YouTube channel a few hours after the release of the single.[4]
