When asked what the song was about, she said "It's about letting go. The second song on the album is " Starry Eyed", and it was written by Ellie and Jonny Lattimer. My producer Starsmith made me laugh at the end, I can't repeat what he called me though.
It's a song about frustration essentially. I wanted the guy to feel more than he did for me but through no fault of his own he couldn't. She said that she "wrote "Guns And Horses" about a romance that began online hence the lyric ' you found me, at a screen you sit at permanently'. A number of the songs vent romantic victories and failures." The opening track on the album is " Guns and Horses" written by Ellie and John Fortis. Goulding explained that the album "is made up of songs that all started on a guitar over a period of about two years. And Fin is someone who understands." I think the song is about being lights go lighter. She told the Daily Star, "Though I write on guitar, I hear the entire sound of songs in my head. The majority of the album was recorded in Starsmith's bedroom in Bromley, London. We fight a lot but you can't get anywhere without creative tension." Goulding worked with Starsmith, Frankmusik, Fraser T Smith, Richard Stannard and Ash Howes on the album. In an interview, she explained, "Meeting Starsmith was a godsend. She met chief producer Starsmith after moving to Bromley, London from her home in Hereford. She released her first EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding on Polydor on the 20th December 2009, and the same day released the promotional single " Wish I Stayed".
She released her first single " Under the Sheets" in November, but decided to release it on independent label Neon Gold Records so she would not feel under pressure. She signed to Polydor Records in July 2009. She explained to BBC News Wales, "I'd entered a university talent contest and was spotted by some people in the audience". Ellie Goulding dropped out of a degree programme at the University of Kent after two years in order to pursue her musical career.
