New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today sees Platinum selling singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding release her highly anticipated new single "Sixteen" out now on Polydor/Universal Music. The new single, co-written by Ellie Goulding, Raye and FRED (George Ezra, Clean Bandit), is a slice of nostalgia for her fans as where Goulding reminisces about her youth as a rebellious teenager. The new earworm, produced by Ian Kirkpatrick (Britney Spears, Julia Michaels), FRED and Mike Wise, sees Ellie's distinctive vocals climb over a catchy, propulsive beat.

Speaking on the new single, Ellie explains, "I'm so excited to share 'Sixteen' with everyone. That age was such a pivotal year for me in many ways and this song is so close to my heart.
