Heaven Is Magnetic by Ella Eliza Cover Art

If you’re searching for a song that makes you feel good about being human, embracing the good and bad that comes with it, look no further than Ella Eliza’s new song “Heaven is Magnetic”. This pop anthem takes on the imperfect journey of life, embodying an empowering perspective of grounding yourself in the present. Golden nuggets of wisdom are dispersed throughout the song like the truth that “there’s a beauty to just letting things unfold”. In drawing out the reality that we do not control what happens, this song frees its listeners from the bounds of dissatisfaction. The chorus starts with the mantra “the more I stay in the moment, the more I feel like I own it”, embodying a carpe diem attitude with a catchy and resonant turn of phrase. Winding words of inspiration with ideas like “you gotta give something before you take, and embrace all of the mess you made” conveys the humbling message that we all have flaws and that’s the beauty of being human. In a time of overthinking and feelings of dissatisfaction, “Heaven is Magnetic” tells listeners that they can be happy just existing.



Combining fun, upbeat percussion, resonant piano, and Ella’s exciting pop vocals, this song has an encouraging and exciting sound. Through the verse, the feminine vocals are deep and emotional, allowing the wisdom of the lyrics to come through. The chorus lifts you up with cool and catchy guitar accompanying Ella’s high and invigorating vocals. Background vocals add dimension through the second verse and on. A fast and electric pace comes through the bridge, forcing a uniformity into the tune that emulates the lyrics “we’re all the same”. The music cuts out for a moment as Ella’s voice recites lyrics like poetry, adding a grounding moment for listeners to truly consider the important message she speaks. Electric background instrumentals pick up for the final chorus, giving it a synthpop power as uplifting as its message.
