Lindsay Ell and Nightly release “i shouldn’t call you,” a heartfelt track capturing the struggle of letting go, now available via Universal Music Canada.
Lindsay Ell unveils her latest single, “i shouldn’t call you”, a collaboration with Nashville-based band Nightly, out now via Universal Music Canada. The song serves as a companion piece to her recent EP love myself, exploring the complex emotions of love, loss, and personal growth.
Written by Lindsay Ell and Nightly, and co-produced by Ell and Doug Schadt, the song starts with delicate, atmospheric instrumentation before transitioning into an upbeat yet emotionally charged anthem. A standout guitar solo adds intensity, reflecting the moment of realization that some relationships are no longer meant to be.
Lindsay shares her thoughts on the song’s meaning: 
“‘i shouldn’t call you’ is the perfect follow-up to love myself, because when you start to love yourself, you can see what you are worthy of and the things that don’t fit become clearer. I wrote this song to be the soundtrack for the honest struggle of coming to terms with realizing someone doesn’t fit in your life anymore.” – Lindsay Ell
Ell recently delivered a standout performance with Shania Twain on New Year’s Eve, further cementing her reputation as a renowned guitarist and performer. She continues as the lead guitarist for Twain’s Las Vegas residency and tour, with a new album slated for release later this year. With “i shouldn’t call you,” Lindsay Ell once again proves her ability to craft music that resonates deeply.
