The duo's fourth single, "Electricity," was released on September 6, 2018, featuring the prominent British singer and songwriter Dua Lipa. The accompanying music video was also unveiled on the same day, further enhancing the reach of their music.
On January 22, 2021, Silk City released their single "New Love," featuring British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, further expanding their catalog of collaborations with acclaimed artists.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even electricity can't compare to what I feel when I'm with you
Ooh, baby
Giving up my ghost for you
And now I'm seethrough
You give me a feeling, feeling so strong
I know you've been treating, treating yourself wrong
Ooh, baby
I'ma love you differently
I'll give you electricity
Give it to you
And even if I could
I wouldn't turn on you
And I would stop the world for you
You know I wanna let you know, I'll never let this feeling go
This love has no ceiling, I cannot deny
Even if I could
I wouldn't turn on you
And I would stop the world for you and I
I wanna let you know, I'll never let this feeling go
This love has no ceiling, I cannot deny
All I see is you, lately
Wide awake and in my dreams
I see your face so vividly
I don't know what I do
Ooh, baby
If you only saw a friend in me
I'd be bittersweet
You give me a feeling, feeling so strong
I know you've been treating, treating yourself wrong
So let me care for you
Ooh, baby
I'ma love you differently
I'll give you electricity
Give it to you
And even if I could
I wouldn't turn on you
And I would stop the world for you
You know I wanna let you know, I'll never let this feeling go
This love has no ceiling, I cannot deny
Even if I could
I wouldn't turn on you
And I would stop the world for you and I
I wanna let you know, I'll never let this feeling go
This love has no ceiling, I cannot deny
I feel electric, baby
So electric, baby
Wanna let you know, let you know, ooh

I think I'm ready, now
Electricity, I'm flowing into you
I feel electric, baby (I want it, I need it)
So electric, baby (this current between us)
Wanna let you know, let you know (this flow, this feeling)
I think I'm ready, baby (I want it, I need it)
I think I'm ready, now (this current between us)
Electricity, I'm flowing into you (this flow, this feeling)
Even if I could
I wouldn't turn on you
And I would stop the world for you
You know I wanna let you know, I'll never let this feeling go
This love has no ceiling, I cannot deny
