Ella Mai – Favourite T-Shirt

Produced by Mustard, the song uses a favourite piece of clothing as a reminder of a past relationship. Its lyrics explore the difficulty of letting go when memories remain attached to ordinary things, even after someone has tried to move forward. The writing credits include Ella Mai, Charles Hinshaw, Varren Wade, Dijon McFarlane, Nina Bell-Graves and Robert Mason.

At 2 minutes and 56 seconds, the record serves as the opening track before the project moves into “Over and Over” and closes with “All I Know”. An official lyric video was also released on Ella Mai’s YouTube channel on the same day as the EP, giving the opening song its own visual release.

Born in London, Ella Mai became internationally recognised through “Boo’d Up” and “Trip”, two singles that helped establish her as a leading voice in contemporary R&B. Her self-titled debut album arrived in 2018, followed by Heart on My Sleeve and her 2026 album, Do You Still Love Me? The new EP adds another short collection to a catalogue largely shaped by songs about love and relationships.

Quotable Lyrics:

[Intro]

Mustard on the beat

I’m clearing out my closet, I’m still smelling your scent

I never knew that I could be so attached to a man

Unopened boxes full of pain inside

Ain’t tryna run back all them tears I cried

But I’m clearing out my closet, time I deal with the fact, fact

[Pre-Chorus]
