How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

On “Only You”, Ellie Goulding reflects on her lover being an enemy and an ally. It serves as the fourth track for Ellie’s second album Halcyon.

The song was referred to as “somewhere in between, thunderous and electrifying but bereft of the kind of earworms that would make it compulsively replayable”.

Structurally different from many of Goulding’s works in the past, “Only You” is comprised of only Chorus'.

What did Ellie Goulding say about "Only You"?
Genius Answer

Ellie has said that

Only you is kinda very ritual, very repetitive, and rithmic and pounding […] I love the idea of using my voice as the main instrument of the song
