"Don't Want Your Love" is a song by American DJ and record producer Illenium and English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, from Illenium's sixth studio album, Odyssey (2026). It was released on February 6, 2026, concurrently with the album. The official music video came out on March 2, 2026.

Background and composition

Incorporating bass, alt-electronic, and progressive house sounds, "Don't Want Your Love" was written by Nicholas Miller, Goulding, Charli XCX, Alberto Melendez, and Peter Rycroft.[1] Illenium produced the song, with additional production by Albert Hype, and Lostboy.[2] The track was first announced on January 16, 2026, with the album's track list, where it appeared as the seventh track on Odyssey.[3] Along with the album's release on February 6, "Don't Want Your Love" was released.[4][5]

In an interview with the fashion magazine Numéro, Illenium stated that the track was originally "a bit slower" and had a "different rhythmic vibe", but it was later reworked once he began collaborating with Goulding.[6]

I've always been a fan of hers [Ellie]. Everything she sings on is incredible. This song and her performance stood out at first listen. Even though the demo was a bit slower and had a different rhythmic vibe, I knew we had to work on it together.
