NASHVILLE: GRAMMY-nominated electronic powerhouse ILLENIUM is turning up the emotion with the release of the official music video for “Don’t Want Your Love,” featuring global pop icon Ellie Goulding. Out now via Republic Records, the track stands as a defining moment from his chart-topping album ODYSSEY, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Notably, the single was the first track identified for the project, helping shape the album’s expansive sonic direction from the very beginning. Co-written by Charli XCX, Albert Hype, and Lost Boy, the song delivers a polished crossover appeal that bridges electronic and pop with ease.
Directed by BABY and produced by Freddie Hill, the official music video leans into cinematic storytelling, bringing the song’s emotional core to life with striking visuals that echo themes of longing, distance, and self-preservation. Ellie Goulding’s unmistakable vocals take center stage, layered over ILLENIUM’s signature hard-hitting production. As the ODYSSEY era continues to unfold, the video underscores ILLENIUM’s evolution into a fully immersive, story-driven artist. Blending melodic bass, progressive house, and alt-electronic textures, “Don’t Want Your Love” captures the emotional intensity fans have come to expect.
ODYSSEY signals a bold new chapter for ILLENIUM—one defined by deeper storytelling, larger-than-life production, and a fully realized artistic vision. The album continues to gain momentum across platforms, with “Don’t Want Your Love” climbing the charts and currently sitting at #4 on both the Mediabase Dance chart and Billboard Dance/Mixshow Airplay chart.
