Dutch-born, London-based pop artist Elfi is back with a new single that turns heartbreak into something you can dance to. Be Careful What You Wish For is out now, and it marks an exciting new chapter ahead of her upcoming EP 11.11. Here are five things you should know about the track and the artist behind it.

1. It’s a heartbreak song that celebrates clarity, not sadness

Be Careful What You Wish For isn’t about wallowing in heartbreak – it’s about the relief that comes with realisation. Inspired by a moment of clarity after revisiting a restaurant tied to a past relationship, the song captures that powerful feeling of recognising you dodged a bullet. Elfi transforms emotional hindsight into a celebratory pop anthem you can genuinely dance to.

2. The song blends dreamy pop with bold, euphoric choruses

Musically, the track leans into Elfi’s signature sound of dreamy harmonies, glittering pop production and big, confident choruses. It’s warm, cinematic and honest, striking a balance between vulnerability and empowerment. The result is a song that feels deeply personal but instantly relatable.

3. It was shaped across London and Los Angeles

Elfi wrote the song in London during what she describes as a moment when her rose-coloured glasses finally came off. She later finished the track in Los Angeles with producer John McLucas, giving the song its euphoric polish and uplifting energy.

4. It’s part of a new EP called 11.11

The single is taken from Elfi’s upcoming EP 11.11, recorded across Los Angeles, London and Amsterdam, and brought to life at Metropolis Studios in London. The EP represents a confident new era for Elfi, one that is fearless, magnetic and unafraid to explore love, illusion and self-discovery.

5. Elfi’s live shows are becoming must-see experiences

Elfi’s music truly comes alive on stage. With sold-out shows at London’s Spice of Life, Amsterdam’s Cinetol, and a recent release show at Notting Hill Arts Club on November 11, her performances are earning a reputation for turning intimate venues into shared, glittering moments of connection.
