What’s Your Name will become the the third single from Ellinor’s forthcoming EP now scheduled for for for release in in in in 2021 after events of of this year called for for a a a a a a a a a a change of of plan in in in that regard From the the moment Ellinor first heard it it she knew the the song was was something special just by how it it made her feel feel And she knew that feeling was was one listeners would be able to to relate to to just as as as easily “This song really means a a a a a a lot lot to to me me and I think it will touch a a a a a a a a a a a lot lot of people out out there in in the the the same same way and for for the the the the same same reasons It’s about searching for for that that special person the the one that that you’ve always dreamed of sharing your life with But the the thing is you you you you never know where or or or when in in in your life that that the the universe or or or des- tiny has planned for you you you to meet that that person And of course you you you you can never know their name until you you you you you finally meet them too But you you you you you always believe fin in fin your heart that that you you you you you will know from the the the the very first moment that that that you you you do finally meet them that that they are ‘the one ’”
