“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. Goulding says of the new single: “Worry About Me” is a song I wrote reminiscing about a time a guy wanted me at his convenience, just as I was getting over him. It is intentionally tongue-in-cheek because I’m not at all bitter, I just found it humorous. It was refreshing to write, in the sunshine of L.A., because at the time I was writing dark songs about my state of mind in New York.
Worry About Me – Ellie Goulding & Blackbear Lyrics:
[Intro: Ellie Goulding] You can worry ’bout this
You can worry ’bout that
You can worry ’bout she
You can worry ’bout this
You can worry ’bout that
You can worry ’bout she
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding] Baby, you don’t gotta, you don’t gotta worry, worry ’bout me
Lately, I don’t think, I don’t think about you, feelin’ so free
Been jumpin’ through hoops to get under you, but now I’m cool
Baby, you don’t gotta, you don’t gotta worry, worry ’bout me
[Verse 1: Ellie Goulding] Been havin’ good times
Been havin’ late nights, yeah
And then you call me (Call me)
Ask if I’m alright, what the hell?
Sayin’ that you care about me
But you just wanna be in my head ’cause you’re lonely
I thought I needed you to feel safe
But now that I’ve been through it, I’m stuck in a good place
Ooh, why you tryna put me in a different mood?
Just because I’m still out seein’ someone new?
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding] Baby, you don’t gotta, you don’t gotta worry, worry ’bout me
Lately, I don’t think, I don’t think about you, feelin’ so free
Been jumpin’ through hoops to get under you, but now I’m cool
Baby, you don’t gotta, you don’t gotta worry, worry ’bout me
[Refrain: Ellie Goulding & blackbear] You can worry ’bout this
You can worry ’bout that
You can worry ’bout she (Don’t worry ’bout me)
You can worry ’bout this (Yeah, yeah)
You can worry ’bout that (Uh, uh)
You can worry ’bout she (beartrap, don’t worry ’bout me)
[Verse 2: blackbear] She said, “Why you gotta hit me on some ‘I don’t know’ shit?”
I am not your property; who led you to that notion?
Actions speakin’ louder than whatever you been smokin’
You don’t gotta try and fix somebody that ain’t broken, no
And you don’t gotta worry where I’m at or where I’m goin’ (Goin’)
Somewhere by my lonesome (Lonesome)
Somewhere by the ocean (Ocean)
She can feel her nose loose
Oh, shit, the way you kill my vibe is so atrocious, it’s bogus
I blocked you ’cause I don’t live in the past, live in the moment
Last time that you hit me up, I wrote this
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding, Both & blackbear] Baby, you don’t gotta, you don’t gotta worry, worry ’bout me (Ooh, yeah)
Lately (Lately), I don’t think, I don’t think about you, feelin’ so free
Been jumpin’ through hoops to get under you, but now I’m cool
Baby, you don’t gotta, you don’t gotta worry, worry ’bout me
[Outro: Ellie Goulding] You can worry ’bout this
You can worry ’bout that
You can worry ’bout she (Don’t worry ’bout me)
You can worry ’bout this
You can worry ’bout that
You can worry ’bout she (Don’t worry ’bout me)
