Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding are at it again. Following the success of their previously collaborated on "I Need Your Love" from his 2012 album, "18 Months," the dynamic duo have collaborated once more for the new pop anthem, "Outside." Goulding flaunts her toned midriff area and her favorite brand of underwear as she's feeling the same pain and regret as Rita Ora and every other girl who has ever loved and lost Scottish DJ in their new video for "Outside," the latest single from Harris' fourth studio album, "Motion," released last month.
It's about decaying relationships. The EDM song acts as a darker sequel to their previous collaboration. Whilst "I Need Your Love" found Goulding singing about being enamored with her guy, this finds her breaking up with him as she wondering if breaking up with her ex was the best choice. "I'll show you what it feels like," sings the UK songstress in the hook, "now I'm on the outside," a mirror in front of her shatters and stops time as she temporarily reconnects and comes face to face with her ex.
So that's the plot the director used for the "Outside" video, takes this to the extreme. Opening to a trailer park, of all places, the colorful clip shows a casually clad Goulding on her knees and is lamenting the broken relationship on the ground in the middle of a street in broad daylight. Although it seems like an odd intro, there's more to the story than meets the eye. As it turns out, both musicians are stuck in troubled relationships that are rapidly imploding: there's fighting, screaming, hair-tearing, and crockery throwing, and both are itching for a way out.
The "Burn" singer has a new boyfriend who appears to be an alcoholic with a nasty temper, and Harris has moved on as well to someone with a similar penchant for arguing and throwing dishes. Both "exes" mediating whether splitting was an intelligent move. Hints of real-life troubles in paradise are sprinkled into the nearly four-minute video which works out fine with the original message of the song - two lovebirds thinking about the past. Outside seems like the safe place to be.
