"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.
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.
