"Worry About Me" is a song by English singer Ellie Goulding featuring American singer Blackbear, released as the lead single from Goulding's fourth studio album Brightest Blue, through Polydor Records on 13 March 2020. It was written by Goulding and Blackbear with Ilya Salmanzadeh, Peter Svensson and Savan Kotecha, and produced by Ilya. Its release was fast-tracked due to a leak in early March 2020.[1]
After the song was leaked in March 2020, Goulding posted on social media on 5 March "Since one of you decided to leak it... Coming for you next Friday."[1]
Writing for Idolator, Mike Wass opined that Goulding "asserts her independence" on the track, "telling Mr. Clingy to stop sniffing around her business because she's bus[y] having fun [...] over Ilya's thunderous beats", concluding that it is a "banger".[2] Caian Nunes of Popline wrote that Goulding finds "great inspiration in hip-hop" on the track "without losing her pop [sound]".[3]
The music video was directed by Emil Nava and was released on Goulding's YouTube channel a few hours after the release of the single.[4] A Director's Cut of the video featuring the instrumental "Overture" was released on 30 April 2020.[5]
