Okay, picture this: you walk into a restaurant you swore you were done with, your ex’s ghost does a dramatic entrance in your mind, and suddenly you realise…
“Wait. I literally dodged a missile.”

That’s the exact lightning-bolt moment behind Elfi’s brand-new single “be careful what you wish for”. And instead of crying about it, she turned it into a sparkly, shout-it-from-the-rooftops banger you can dance yourself clean to.

This song is for:
✨ Anyone who once begged the universe for someone who turned out… not great
✨ Anyone whose rose-coloured glasses finally shattered (thank GOD)
✨ Anyone ready to dance their way out of a questionable decisions era

Born in the Netherlands, living in London, and thriving everywhere in between, Elfi takes that “oops-I-wanted-the-wrong-person” feeling and transforms it into full-blown pop catharsis. The track comes straight from her upcoming EP 11.11 — a project crafted between Los Angeles, London, and Amsterdam and sprinkled with magic at London’s iconic Metropolis Studios.

She finished this song in LA with her ride-or-die producer John McLucas, who helped turn the moment of clarity into a technicolour, hands-in-the-air “thank you universe for the plot twist” anthem.

And if you’ve ever been to an Elfi show, you know she doesn’t just perform — she converts entire rooms into glittering ecosystems of shared feelings, loud singing, and chaotic joy. From sold-out London shows to Amsterdam highs, she brings that same energy straight into this track.

“be careful what you wish for” isn’t just a breakup song.
It’s your new favourite victory lap.
It’s closure with confetti.
It’s moving on… but make it gorgeous.
