To me, ‘Destiny’ feels like I was finally taking control of my sexuality and surrendering to Destiny, feeling free in knowing that the prize belonged to me in some way, even if that prize was just accepting my fate with a wine and a cigarette. The song focuses on a superficial but intense chemistry with someone that served a purpose, for total sensual and surrendering from a type of suffering, and how powerful it can feel in that moment even if it’s not love. This was the first time perhaps that I felt a loving affinity for a person I wasn’t in love with, instead a sort of gratitude for their raw acceptance of my need for exploration and catharsis with their sex “I hit the lotto when I found you” I love the old school romance of that concept. For the first time ever I didn’t need a person for validation or protection, and the person didn’t need me. But we just wanted each other. That felt like a potent shift in the way I loved myself as a whole. Musically I wanted it to reflect a necessary recklessness that comes with gaining power, over my sexuality, sensuality and embracing the chaos of my life.

It is such a great honour to receive an MBE for services to biodiversity and climate. From the get go I have been guided and helped by women in this space. Last year we really saw and felt how much the climate and nature crisis is intensifying. But we continue to be carried forward by the incredible women holding the line – scientists, activists, lawyers, communicators, teachers, farmers, mothers, aunties, Indigenous leaders, and youth voices. The talent pool is deep, fearless, and just keeps charging forwards. I am lifted on the shoulders of giants 💚 Extremely proud. Thank you for the tremendous amount of love and congratulations I’ve received the past week. Love, Dr Ellie Goulding MBE x So many many people to mention , that I’ll continue into the comments … @janegoodallinst , @unep @inger_andersen @wwf_uk (Tanya Steele) @theseagull , @mediumsizedbear , @billieeilish @stellamccartney , @gretathunberg , @domipalmer @cfigueres , @gail.whiteman , @tessaskhan , @greengirlleah , @mikaelaloach , @toritsui_ , @kristine_tompkins , @txaisurui , @rkyte365 , @inkacresswell , @willowonearth , @elizabethmarumamrema
