"Power" is a song by English singer Ellie Goulding, released as the second single from Goulding's fourth studio album Brightest Blue, through Polydor Records on 21 May 2020. It was written by Goulding and its producers Jonny Coffer and Jamie Scott. Digital Farm Animals, Lucy Taylor and Jack Tarrant were added to the songwriting credited because the song interpolates English singer Dua Lipa's song "Be the One" (2015).[2] David Paich was also added because of the verse's similarity to the Toto song "Georgy Porgy" (1979).[3][4][5]
