After returning with disco-pop anthem ‘Freedom of the Night’ last year, Sophie Ellis-Bextor has shared her first new music of 2025 with joyous new song ‘Relentless Love’ out now via Decca.

‘Relentless Love’ is a buoyant disco-infused funk-pop track that builds through catchy grooves and luminous synths to an energetic and euphoric chorus. A fresh take on Sophie’s distinctive sound, the track was written and produced by Karma Kid (Rudimental, Shygirl) and Baz Kaye (Jessie Ware, The Blessed Madonna) alongside writing from Sophie and JinJin (Raye) and mixed by David Wrench (Jamie XX, Hot Chip).

Sophie says, “’Relentless Love’ came from my love of fun fairs and the way that falling in love and going on a ride can be a similar thrill. Ferris wheels, roller coasters… all of them can make your perception of reality a little wonky and give you a rush. They are sometimes unpredictable but also an exciting way to shift your perspective for a little minute. Plus, it’s a great place for a date… hence the line ‘you know it’s sweet as caramel, sitting beside you on this carousel’. There’s definitely a romance in getting on a ride together and seeing where it will take you.”
