Ellie teamed up with director Rianne White, who worked with her on Flux last year, alongside director of production Rina Yang to shoot the music video for the emotive pop ballad.
Explaining the concept, the singer said: ‘Love I’m Given is about accepting and being at peace with all the mistakes in your life and realising you get the same love back you give out. The video represents the fight between calm and chaos.
‘The Boxing ring is weirdly the place I feel the most pure and in control and the moments gold dress represent getting to a place of ultimate power when you know you are in the most powerful place you can be when you have that kind of revaluation about love and forgiveness.’

The contrast between the glamorous dresses and the boxing ring comes after Ellie said she feels ‘overlooked’ by the fashion industry because she has an athletic figure.
The singer took to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday evening to admit that she feels her appearance has been criticised by both men and women.
The Love Me Like You Do hitmaker said that she feels her muscular physique ‘challenges femininity’ and the way that people are ‘supposed to look’ in her industry.

Ellie wrote: ‘Re my last post – I’ve definitely been criticised by men and women for my athleticism and appearance because it challenges femininity and how I’m ‘supposed to look’ in this industry.
‘I honestly feel I have been overlooked in the fashion world for this reason but I will keep pushing female strength as the ultimate super power. Which it is.’
