Kicking off yet another year is the multiplatinum artist and producer, elijah woods, behind melodies and visceral lyricism with his new single, “Could You Love Me?” The song’s a gut-punch of emotion housed in an electrifying pop anthem, and it serves as yet another reminder of why woods is one of the more exciting names in the genre at the moment.
Fresh off a memorable 2024, highlighted by three EPs, an opening slot on Niall Horan’s tour, and a sold-out Asia tour, woods has momentum with him, and “Could You Love Me?” only fuels the fire. The song explores the all-consuming nature of unreciprocated love, detailing the pain of someone far too self-interested to realize the trail of pain they’re leaving in their wake. It’s a universal sentiment, but woods expresses it with such individualistic force that he seems to have lived every word.
“Could You Love Me?” commands attention from the first beat. It has a pulsing rhythm and anthemic production that grows tension, the song’s desperation. The music is imbued with the classic woods magic, navel-gazing storytelling, sky-high melodies, and a chorus that takes residence in your brain and never leaves. His skill at combining vulnerability and an irresistible pop sense remains unmatched.
With a billion-plus streams to his credit and another Asia tour planned for the summer, woods is proving he’s in a class of one. He’s also named one of Amazon Music Canada’s ‘Artists to Watch’ in 2025, priming for an even bigger year. If “Could You Love Me?” is any indication, elijah woods is here to dominate.
