Goulding penned “Close to Me” with a host of songwriters, including Diplo and Swae Lee.The couple announced their engagement on August 7, 2018. Goulding got engaged to her art dealer boyfriend Casper Jopling in 2018. “Close to Me” may have been inspired by Ellie Goulding’s real-life experiences as she had gotten engaged to be married shortly before it was released.
That’s just how powerful the love is! However, despite its sheer power, it is important to note that it is to a degree pretty reckless. Simply put, they don’t want to achieve anything good in life without the presence of their respective significant other. “I don’t wanna be somebody without your body” In the chorus, both Goulding and Lee drop one of the song’s most profound lines: The rap verse of this track, performed by Swae Lee, also insinuates that this amorous lure is so powerful that he would be willing to jeopardize his already-established relationship in order to carelessly pursue it. Furthermore, she announces that their mutual, exclusive attraction to each other is indeed based in animal magnetism. Goulding not only acknowledges that her lover is the only person she desires but also that she considers herself incomplete without him. And even though the relationship features certain unsavory aspects, the couple believes they’ll be alright at the end of the day, for their love is real. This pop-rap anthem chronicles the defiant love affair between two participants.
