Sophie Ellis-Bextor has returned with her disco-pop single ‘Relentless Love’

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has shared her first new music of 2025 with new single ‘Relentless Love’, released via Decca.

The disco-infused funk-pop track was written and produced by Karma Kid and Baz Kaye, with additional writing from Ellis-Bextor and JinJin. The track was mixed by David Wrench.

“Relentless love came from my love of fun fairs and the way that falling in love and going on a ride can be a similar thrill,” Ellis-Bextor says. “Ferris wheels, roller coasters… all of them can make your perception of reality a little wonky and give you a rush. They are sometimes unpredictable but also an exciting way to shift your perspective for a little minute. Plus, it’s a great place for a date… hence the line ‘you know it’s sweet as caramel, sitting beside you on this carousel’. There’s definitely a romance in getting on a ride together and seeing where it will take you.”

The release follows ‘Freedom of the Night’, which arrived in 2024. Ellis-Bextor’s most recent album ‘HANA’ reached Number 8 in the UK albums chart upon its release in 2023.
