Ellie Goulding has released a new photograph of herself posing naked in a bathtub, accompanied by a snippet of her upcoming song, to promote her latest romantic track.
The image and accompanying audio are tied to her new single, "Four Seasons," which was inspired by a romantic trip to the Four Seasons hotel in Florence with her boyfriend, Beau Minniear. Suites at the luxury hotel can cost up to £5,575 per night.
Goulding, 39, who welcomed her daughter Iris with Minniear, 29, in March, shared the intimate photo to her social media. The lyrics of the song include lines such as, "Daydreaming, faint feelings, f*** around at the Four Seasons. I think that I might be falling in love with you," and "Love how you look next to me. Yeah, I swear I'll stay here forever with you."
The couple was first romantically linked in July of the previous year and publicly confirmed their relationship in September 2025.
This new music is in anticipation of Goulding's sixth studio album, "I Know Too Much," set for release in September. The album, which features ten tracks, includes "Black Prada Dress," a song she performed live at Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2026. Goulding has described the upcoming album as a "divorce album," intending to address her past split from art dealer Caspar Jopling, with whom she shares her son Arthur, aged five.
She has spoken about the album's themes, stating, "There are some songs that are necessary for me to acknowledge that time in my life and to be respectful of it... Then there were some songs that were extremely reactionary and sad that I felt were good to do in the moment but don't serve me long-term." She added that "I Know Too Much" is "tongue in cheek, but it's also some kind of comment on my life so far, and music," and that she "always like[s] to write about love and heartbreak."
Goulding and Jopling finalized their divorce in January 2025 and continue to co-parent their son. Jopling has since entered a relationship with actress Olivia Wilde.
