Ellie Goulding has been in the music industry for years and she has many number-one singles under her belt. However, despite her success, the singer revealed that it could be overwhelming sometimes, especially when she feels pressured to release another hit single after the other.
In an interview with Audacy, the English pop star said her state of mind and mood affect her music because there is a "certain amount of confidence" she needs upon starting her day before going into the recording studio.
Speaking about her confidence, the "Anything Could Happen" songstress differentiates writing a song and not creating one, saying it's all about being confident to write something, experiment, and not be afraid to try different things.
She also wants to instill confidence by believing she could do all things music-wise.
How Does Ellie Goulding Write Music When She Feels Down
Even though Goulding firmly believes that confidence is the key for her to explore new things and write music, there are days when she struggles a lot, but it doesn't keep her from producing more music.
"I'd rather put something down than nothing and that's my general rule. To even write one line or do one thing -play one note - at least it's something," she said.
