"Relentless Love" is a song by English singer and songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor.[2][3] It was released on 28 March 2025, through Decca Records, as the second single from her eighth studio album, Perimenopop (2025).[4][5][6]

Background and release

[edit]

"Relentless Love" was written by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Samuel Robert Knowles, Janée Millicent Lucy Bennett, and Baz Kaye. The track was co-produced by Kaye and Knowles (under his stage name Karma Kid), with additional production by Richard Jones. In the single's press release, Ellis-Bextor said of the track:

“Relentless love came from my love of fun fairs and the way that falling in love and going on a ride can be a similar thrill, Ferris wheels, roller coasters… all of them can make your perception of reality a little wonky and give you a rush. They are sometimes unpredictable but also an exciting way to shift your perspective for a little minute. Plus, it’s a great place for a date… hence the line ‘you know it’s sweet as caramel, sitting beside you on this carousel’. There’s definitely a romance in getting on a ride together and seeing where it will take you.”[7]
