Ella Mai Asks the Question We All Avoid on Do You Still Love Me?

Ella Mai doesn’t just return with music she returns with a question.
One that lingers, one that hurts a little, one that demands honesty.

Her third studio album, Do You Still Love Me?, released on February 6, 2026, is not about chasing hits or following trends. It’s about sitting in the quiet moments of love the pauses, the doubts, the reassurance, the truth. And in true Ella Mai fashion, she delivers it with grace, restraint, and soul.

This album feels less like a performance and more like a conversation you have late at night, when everything is real and nothing is hidden.

A Mature Evolution, Not a Reinvention

From the opening track, it’s clear that Ella Mai isn’t trying to reinvent herself she’s refining who she already is. The smooth, understated production (led once again by longtime collaborator Mustard) allows her vocals to breathe. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is overdone.

This is R&B that trusts the listener to feel.

Songs like “There Goes My Heart” and “My Mind” ease you into the emotional world of the album, setting the tone for what follows: vulnerability without weakness, confidence without arrogance. Ella sings like someone who’s lived, loved, pulled back, and come back stronger.

Love in Its Many Forms

Do You Still Love Me? doesn’t paint love as perfect it paints it as real.

On “Little Things,” Ella celebrates the subtle gestures that keep relationships alive the moments people often overlook but mean the most. Meanwhile, “Somebody’s Son” and “Luckiest Man” explore commitment from both emotional and relational angles, highlighting how love isn’t just about passion, but responsibility and presence.

Then there’s “Tell Her”, a standout moment of confidence and honesty, where Ella reminds listeners that self-worth matters just as much as romance. It’s direct, grown, and empowering a reminder that love should never cost you yourself.

“100” and the Sound of Devotion

One of the album’s most talked-about tracks, “100,” feels like a promise put to music. It’s devoted without being naïve, romantic without being performative. The song  paired with a cinematic, high-stakes visual captures the album’s core message: loving fully, even when it’s scary.

This isn’t love for the highlight reel. It’s love for the long run.

A Personal Chapter, Quietly Shared

There’s an undeniable depth to this album that feels connected to Ella Mai’s real life. After stepping back from the spotlight in recent years and embracing motherhood, her return feels grounded. She isn’t oversharing she’s offering perspective.

Tracks like “Audio Message” and “Chasing Circles” feel intimate, almost diary-like, giving the listener space to reflect on their own relationships. These moments make the album feel lived-in, not manufactured.

Classic R&B, Modern Soul

What makes Do You Still Love Me? stand out in today’s R&B landscape is its refusal to chase fast moments. Instead, it leans into timeless songwriting, warm melodies, and emotional clarity.

There are no distractions here  just voice, feeling, and intention.

Ella Mai proves once again that R&B doesn’t need to shout to be heard. Sometimes, the quietest records are the ones that stay with you the longest.

Why This Album Matters

In an era of disposable music, Do You Still Love Me? is meant to be sat with. It’s for late-night drives, slow mornings, and moments of self-reflection. It speaks to anyone who has ever loved deeply and wondered if that love was still being returned with the same energy.

Ella Mai isn’t asking the question for drama she’s asking it for clarity.

And by the end of the album, you realize the question isn’t just for a lover… it’s for yourself.

Do You Still Love Me? isn’t just an album it’s a mirror.
