Ellise scored a viral hit in 2021 with “911.” The track has over 105 million Spotify streams despite not being released as an official single.Since then, she’s continued releasing dark pop songs with catchy choruses and plenty of bass. The singer-songwriter’s latest, “Did It Hurt?,” is maybe the closest thing to a rock song that she’s released.
