Ellie Byers has struck gold with her latest single, At Least It’s Not Me.
The song blends chilled vibes with warm acoustics and soft vocals, creating the perfect sonic landscape for reflective moments.
From the very first strum, you’re drawn into Ellie’s world. It’s a place where heartache is acknowledged, but also where relief and self-discovery take centre stage.
Lyrically, Byers captures the bittersweet realisation that her ex has moved on to someone new, but she gives it a twist: rather than wallowing in regret or longing, she reflects with a sense of clarity: “At least it’s not me trying to fix all your hurting.”
Her ex’s new relationship is doomed, and she’s grateful that she’s no longer the one caught in its dysfunction.
She’s perfect
I’m happy for you
But when I put two and two together
I just can’t see you seeing it through
With her
There’s a profound sense of maturity in her words, as she admits that her ex isn’t capable of being a good partner, and in an almost refreshing way, she’s relieved that it’s not her who has to endure it anymore: “At least it’s not me being hurt any more.”
The song’s hook lands beautifully, conveying both reflection and a quiet triumph.
There’s no bitterness, just the calm acceptance that some relationships are better left in the past.
And while there’s a slight tinge of nostalgia, it’s accompanied by a subtle optimism. Ellie’s moving on, and she’s all the better for it.
Ellie herself has described At Least It’s Not Me as one of her favourite releases, and it’s easy to see why.
The song isn’t just about heartbreak; it’s about growth, perspective, and ultimately, the freedom that comes with letting go.
Whether you’re reflecting on your own past relationships or simply looking for a track to chill out to, At Least It’s Not Me is a must-listen.
