Rising star Ella More stars in music video for new single “Sweet Rose”
Ella More - Sweet Rose (Official Video)
Ella More releases her brand new expansive single “Sweet Rose”.
“Sweet Rose” arrives as one of Ella More’s most emotionally expansive releases to date. Driven by bright, addictive pop production from multi platinum Grammy-nominated producer Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, One Direction Paloma Faith). The track captures the rush of love at its most intoxicating, while gently unravelling what happens when that feeling no longer aligns with who you are becoming.
Raised in Moseley, Birmingham, Ella grew up inside a model of enduring love. Her parents have been together since they were fifteen. They still bicker like teenagers, she says, but their bond feels unquestionable. Watching them build a life through resilience, ambition and belief in each other shaped her earliest understanding of partnership.
Speaking on the new single Ella says:
“My parents showed me that love is something you work at and grow within. It is steady. It is chosen. “Sweet Rose” came from realising I was in something that did not feel like that. There is a moment when you look at your life from the outside,”You see the person you love, you see yourself, and something shifts. “Sweet Rose” is that mirror moment. It is uncomfortable, but it is also freeing.”
This song lives in that tension. On the surface, it feels euphoric and immediate. Underneath, a quiet awakening takes place. It explores inherited expectations, old patterns and internal evolution. As someone who has often spoken about navigating identity and belonging, Ella channels that same duality here. Staying because it is familiar. Leaving because you have outgrown it.
The visual world deepens that contrast. In the heart of the Black Country sits a beautifully preserved Mid Century home, all clean lines and quiet nostalgia. Inside, the relationship feels contained and cyclical. Rooms are still. Conversations repeat. Ella moves through space styled in sharp Mary Quant inspired silhouettes, bold shapes and vintage femininity. She feels both perfectly placed and quietly misaligned, a modern woman suspended inside a frozen world. Outside, energy changes. With suitcase in hand, landscape opens and breath returns. The countryside stretches wide, wind replaces silence. Freedom is not dramatic. It is deliberate.
”Sweet Rose” blooms as it unfolds. Production lifts, emotions sharpen, confidence rises. Where earlier releases explored release and reflection, this chapter feels expansive. It carries forward everything Ella grew up believing love could be, while honouring the courage it takes to walk away from what it is not.
With continued support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, BBC 1Xtra and BBC Introducing, and over 1.1 million cross platform streams, Ella More continues to build a body of work rooted in emotional truth. The attention from across the press landscape has also been building alongside this, and critical acclaim from key publications like WONDERLAND, CLASH MAGAZINE and NEW WAVE MAGAZINE has been effusive.
Drawing from pop, indie and alternative influences, her music moves instinctively, guided by feeling over formula. “Sweet Rose” is not simply about heartbreak. It is about growth. About recognising that love should widen your world, not make it smaller, and the world is exactly what Ella is about to take by storm.

Street lights
Burn a hole in my head
Time flies
Coming in late again
I missed you
At least I think I did
When I'm looking at you lay on my side of the bed
But maybe
I should’ve stayed out later
You’re shouting
It’s gonna wake the neighbours
You look so scared
Said you thought I was dead
Drank so much I forgot you even cared
Lay it out on the table
Before we come undone
You love that i’m so unstable
You know that I’m never gonna change
All your expectations keep on getting in the way
You wanna talk but it always ends the same
You get mad but you stay anyway, anyway
You like it
That’s what you hate the most
This love ain’t quite like a sweet rose
It's the wildest
It’s a heavy dose
And we were running forward now we’re too close
Lay it out on the table
Before we come undone
You love that i’m so unstable
You know that I’m never gonna change
All your expectations keep on getting in the way
You wanna talk but it always ends the same
You get mad but you stay anyway, anyway
