“Close to Me” is a 2018 song by Ellie Goulding, in collaboration with Diplo and Swae Lee. The track blends Goulding’s airy, ethereal vocals with Diplo’s signature electronic production and Swae Lee’s smooth melodic rap, creating a catchy, genre-blending pop anthem. Lyrically, it’s about two people who share an intense, imperfect relationship — they might fight and mess up, but they still want to be close to each other despite the chaos. With its infectious beat, sleek production, and confident tone, “Close to Me” marked Goulding’s return to the spotlight after a short break, showcasing her evolution from dreamy electropop to a more mature, contemporary pop sound.
