Ego Ella May returns with “Don’t Take My Lover Away,” a deeply personal offering lifted from her forthcoming sophomore album Good Intentions, due 20th March. The British-Nigerian singer-songwriter continues to lean into vulnerability, crafting a record that feels intimate and timeless.
Produced alongside Alfa Mist, the track is rooted in warmth and emotional honesty. Written about her husband during a period of health uncertainty, the song captures that fragile space between joy and fear, the quiet anxiety of loving someone so deeply that the thought of losing them feels overwhelming. Yet beneath that vulnerability sits gratitude.
Ego’s soft, soulful delivery carries the weight of surrender and acceptance, acknowledging that love and loss are intertwined parts of life. The Jelani Pomell-directed visual complements the sentiment, translating that tenderness into understated, cinematic moments.
“Don’t Take My Lover Away” feels like a love letter, gentle, reflective and grounded in appreciation.
