Lindsay Ell | ‘good guy’ delivers clarity and confidence | A defining moment before her new EP ‘fence sitter’ arrives
Award-winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist Lindsay Ell returns with a powerful new single, good guy, via Universal Music Canada. The track captures a fearless shift in Ell’s sound—diving into bold pop with undeniable confidence while maintaining her hallmark emotional resonance.
Driven by rhythmic bass and polished pop production, good guy balances catchy hooks with biting lyrics. Ell doesn’t just recount betrayal—she reclaims it. This is storytelling that speaks from the inside out, translating personal struggle into an empowering anthem.
She shares: “‘good guy’ is about setting the record straight and taking my power back. This song is an internal discussion about being forced to keep someone’s integrity while knowing the truth. I think one of the most important things we can do in life is to be honest with ourselves. To know what we think and how we feel about something is true, no matter what other people believe.” 
Lines like “Cause I’m scared of what would happen, if I ever told my side” spotlight the emotional cost of staying silent. Yet, by giving voice to these unspoken truths, Ell builds a song that’s as healing as it is sonically infectious.
The single sets the stage for her upcoming EP fence sitter, arriving October 3rd. The project promises to expand her sound further into the singer-songwriter pop world, addressing themes like self-belief, societal expectations, and identity with grace and grit.
Following a tour run across North America, Lindsay Ell proves she’s more than ready for her next act. With good guy, she invites listeners into a chapter of clarity, courage, and creative freedom.
