Ella Mai drops a new song “DFMU”.
After a break of around one and a half years, Ella Mai makes her return to the music scene as she releases his come back single “DFMU” which is short for “Don’t F**k Me Up”. The track is produced by J Holy & Mustard, and it comes along with an accompanying music video.
“Like a glimpse from the past you conceal the dark / In the frame you’re the poster on the wall / In my dreams, you the prince and I’m at the ball / Fairytales, I’m not used to them at all,” she sings.
Making the “DFMU” was “extremely challenging” for her, she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily, “because it was like my life in real time.” She continued, “So it was almost a therapy session when I was in the session. But I think that’s the best way. All the people that I grew up listening to are always very, very honest. And I’ve always just appreciated honesty. I think it’s the best way I think that people can relate to you also so…I was having a very honest conversation with Prince Charlez who I wrote the song with about I was going through at that point. And it just was basically a conversation, and it just came together that way. And I think those are the best songs because storytelling is just conversation really. It was one of the ones during the recording process that I just knew it had to make…”
It’s unclear whether the song is from Ella Mai’s highly awaited second album, although she just deleted her Instagram account. When it comes to a traditional Instagram fresh start, it usually signifies that an artist is about to debut something new. Hopefully, she’ll release the follow-up to her self-titled studio album later this year.
