After taking time off, Ellie Goulding returned in 2018 with 'Close To Me', featuring Diplo.

During the show, Dua was also asked by a fan if she ever turned down a song that ended up becoming a massive hit. After a pause, the 'New Rules' singer said, "I probably shouldn’t say it," because she didn't want to take away from the success anyone might have had. However, she did go on to say that she thought 'Electricity' was a hit because of Diplo and Mark Ronson (Silk City).

Last month, Dua revealed that she was back in the studio with Tove Lo. The singer, known for collaborating with Alesso on 'Heroes (We Could Be)', and Nick Jonas, on 'Close', is also a songwriter who has written, or co-written a number of popular songs, including Ellie Goulding's 'Love Me like You Do' and Years & Years' 'Desire'.
