Mastered at The Exchange Mastering Studios, London."Outside" ( Oliver Heldens Remix) (featuring Ellie Goulding)Ĭredits adapted from the liner notes of Motion. "Outside" ( Hardwell Remix) (featuring Ellie Goulding) The video ends with Goulding and Harris together in the house in the midst of a mid-fight freeze frame, leaving the viewer to question which version was reality. The video is also intercut with shots of Goulding singing directly to the camera in front of a suburban house, surreal images that bend the fore- and background, objects in the frame freezing in time, Goulding being suspended in the air, and Goulding with a floating rectangular mirror that eventually shatters. Harris and Goulding each play partners in the separate relationships who both appear to be the chief recipient of the abuse. The video depicts two separate couples in toxic and abusive relationships.

On the Billboard Hot 100, the song peaked at number 29, making it Harris's eighth and Goulding's fifth top-40 single. It also gives Goulding her third number-one on this chart.

We've heard it before in 'I Need Your Love' and it's back here again in full force for yet another magical combination." Heather Phares of AllMusic felt that the track "doesn't quite recapture the magic of previous work but does make the most of her deceptively powerful soprano, this time in a more upbeat setting." Slant Magazine 's James Rainis opined that "he most notable characteristic of 'Outside' is that the hook's cadence is exactly the same as the Carly Rae Jepsen/ Owl City song ' Good Time,' but it lacks that song's cutesy charm." Chase Hunt of AXS viewed the song as "a decent pairing but an expected outcome." Commercial performance Idolator's Robbie Daw found the song to be "just as pleasant, if not slightly more so, than Calvin and Ellie's previous outing together, 2012's 'I Need Your Love.' It's good to hear that there's still quite a bit of musical magic when these two hit the studio together." Ĭarolyn Menyes of Music Times stated, "There's something that works so well about Harris' string effect synth beats and Goulding's whispered ethereal voice. Brent Faulkner of PopMatters praised the song as "one of Motion 's crème de la crème records" and wrote that it "latches from a first listen giving the set arguably its strongest pop hit." Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly commented that on "Outside", Harris "finds the perfect balance between vulnerable warble and the warping synths underneath". The song received positive reviews from music critics, calling it a great follow-up of their previous collaboration, and noting it as a highlight of the album. It follows a chord progression of B♭-Gm-Dm-C. With a tempo of 128 beats per minute, "Outside" is composed in the key of D minor. "Outside" marks the second collaboration between Harris and Goulding, following the single " I Need Your Love" (2013).
