Ellie Goulding Is Her Own Hero In "On My Mind"

Ellie Goulding doesn't need a man to save the day. Goulding's new single "On My Mind" was predicted to sound massive and the result is spot-on. She just dropped her new video for "On My Mind," and it confirms that Goulding is a strong woman who can look out for herself. Oh, and the visual is comprised of some seriously fierce moments. The Las Vegas-set video kicks off with a glammed-up Goulding looking at her reflection in a hotel mirror. Her man comes up behind her, but it's clear by the expression on Goulding's face that she's not enamored with him. The first verse clarifies that she's not sure how the relationship started, only that she thinks he messed with the truth. Yikes.

Even as she's wined and dined — and the man's less-than-stellar character is revealed — Goulding remains impassive. However, she ultimately exacts her revenge, riding into his casino on a horse. Yes, on a horse. She and her friend end up tying up the man as the words "Game over" briefly flash on the screen. Lesson learned: Do not cross this fearless woman.
