Ella Stae returns with “TEST RUN,” a fiery pop anthem that blends confidence, charisma, and freedom.

When I listen to an artist these days, I’m not just looking to be entertained—I want to feel something real, something freeing. That’s what Ella Stae’s music always gives me. After a standout 2024 full of big moments and bold tracks, she’s hitting the gas on her next era with “TEST RUN,” her first single of 2025.

In “TEST RUN,” Ella lays it out straight for anyone trying to get too close. The song finds her brushing off weak attempts at control and calling out people who think they can handle her energy but clearly can’t. Lines like “You think you can control me / so jump in the front seat and show me / I want a test run, baby” flip the power dynamic on its head—she’s not waiting to be chosen; she’s setting the pace.

The production captures that same energy. A high-speed, pop-fueled instrumental gives the track its punch, packed with pulsing synths, revving drums, and a feeling that never slows down. It’s like taking a night drive through neon lights—loud, bright, and alive.

Ella keeps her composure through it all. While the beat rushes ahead, her delivery stays smooth and confident, like someone who knows exactly where they’re going and doesn’t need a co-pilot. It’s such an empowering listen.
