Everything I Didn't Say is the second studio album by English singer and songwriter Ella Henderson. It was released on 11 March 2022 by Major Tom's and Asylum Records, marking Henderson's first full-length album since her 2014 debut Chapter One. Originally scheduled for release in 2016, Henderson would leave her then record label Syco Records, citing creative differences. After a period of ill health, and signing a new deal with Major Tom's, Henderson would release several standalone songs as well as collaborations with other artists.
Recording for Everything I Didn't Say took place from 2016 through 2021 mostly in London and the UK, but also in Stockholm and Los Angeles, with around 400 songs recorded for consideration. Taking a diary-like approach to the track listing, each song tells an individual story in Henderson's life. Lyrics cover a range of themes including themes of love, heartbreak, mental health and self-discovery, against a musical backdrop of both electronic and traditional instruments. English singer and songwriter Tom Grennan and American singer and songwriter Mikky Ekko are featured on the album, along with production and co-writes from James Arthur, TMS, Jordan Riley, Al Shux and Richard "Biff" Stannard amongst others.
The album was preceded by the release of the singles "Let's Go Home Together" (with Grennan) and "Brave", as well as the title track, which was released as a promotional single in the countdown to the album's release. "Let's Go Home Together" reached number ten on the UK Singles Chart and was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.
The album was a commercial success, peaking at number eight on the UK Albums Chart and nine on the Scottish Albums Chart. It marked her second top ten entry and second consecutive album to debut in the top ten on both charts. To promote the album Henderson had the opening slot on Irish band the Script's tour Tales from the Script and embarked on her own eight-date UK concert tour across October 2022, both in support of Everything I Didn't Say. The following month, Henderson released a deluxe version of the album, Everything I Didn't Say and More which included singles and collaborations from the last few years including Henderson's 2022 UK top ten singles "Crazy What Love Can Do" (with Becky Hill and David Guetta) and "21 Reasons" (with Nathan Dawe).
Background
Following her UK Singles Chart-topping debut single, "Ghost" in 2014, and release of the chart-topping debut album, Chapter One (2014), Henderson would take Chapter One on tour in October and November 2015.{{cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ella-henderson-unveils-chapter-one-artwork-and-tracklisting__4223/ |title=Ella Henderson unveils Chapter One artwork and tracklisting |website=Official Charts Company |last=Moss |first=Liv |date=16 June 2014 |access-date=14 July 2022 |archive-date=7 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190407001500/https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ella-henderson-unveils-chapter-one-artwork-and-tracklisting__4223/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/search/albums/chapter-one/ |title=Official Albums Chart Results Matching 'Chapter One' |website=Official Charts Company |access-date=14 July 2022 |archive-date=23 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211023014150/https://www.officialcharts.com/search/albums/chapter-one/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/Ella-Henderson-really-excited-performing-home/story-26411584-detail/story.html |title=Ella Henderson 'really excited' to be performing 'at home' |work=Grimsby Telegraph |date=30 April 2015 |access-date=14 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150713181348/http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/Ella-Henderson-really-excited-performing-home/story-26411584-detail/story.html |archive-date=13 July 2015}} Before the tour kicked off, in April 2015, it was confirmed that Henderson would begin recording new music with Danny O'Donoghue, lead singer of Irish band the Script, would be recording music with Henderson.{{cite web |url=https://www.capitalfm.com/artists/the-script/news/ella-henderson-writing-session/ |title=Danny O'Donoghue Confirms He's Got A Writing Session With Ella Henderson Next Month |website=Capital FM |date=6 March 2015 |access-date=11 March 2022 |archive-date=16 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210616223735/https://www.capitalfm.com/artists/the-script/news/ella-henderson-writing-session/ |url-status=live}} This took place less than a year after "Ghost" topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks and achieved international success.{{cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ella-henderson-on-her-rebirth-with-second-album-everything-i-didnt-say-so-much-happened-to-me-when-i-was-16-i-needed-to-live__35432/ |title=Ella Henderson on her rebirth with second album Everything I Didn't Say: 'So much happened to me when I was 16, I needed to live' |last=Griffiths |first=George |website=Official Charts Company |date=11 March 2022 |access-date=11 March 2022 |archive-date=11 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220311124658/https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ella-henderson-on-her-rebirth-with-second-album-everything-i-didnt-say-so-much-happened-to-me-when-i-was-16-i-needed-to-live__35432/ |url-status=live}} During an interview with the Official Charts Company's George Griffiths, Henderson revealed why there was a big gap between her first and second albums, explaining that part of the gap was due to processing the level of success she had achieved at a young. Henderson said: "I was touring and promoting for so long when I hit my 20s I realised I didn't know where home was. I didn't have a couch, I couldn't drive. I needed to live, which is one of the reasons why I took a step back." Henderson also spoke about crippling anxiety, which included being hospitalised after suffering a panic attack. She told the Evening Standard that she could not release the original iteration of her second album, "I was so lost in terms of who I was as a person that I wasn't ready to release it."{{cite web |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/ella-henderson-everything-i-didn-t-say-album-review-b987192.html |title=Ella Henderson – Everything I Didn't Say review: we're all rooting for her |work=Evening Standard |last=Smyth |first=David |date=11 March 2022 |access-date=12 March 2022 |archive-date=13 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220313034317/https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/ella-henderson-everything-i-didn-t-say-album-review-b987192.html |url-status=live}}

According to Henderson, she wrote nearly 400 songs for the album and wanted to compose a diary-like track listing, with each song telling a story and a "different part" of her life. After the album's release, she would explain that she wanted audiences to be "brought up to speed" with everything that had happened since her first album, regardless of whether it was "the good the bad or the ugly {{sic}}". Sessions took place across various recording studios and locations around the world including in Brighton and London in the UK, Stockholm (Sweden) and some sessions in the United States too. Despite a second album being in production as far back as 2016, in 2018 it was revealed that Henderson had departed ways with her record label Syco Records. The decision was reported by the media to have been mutual, stating that both artist and label "felt that a change of direction was needed for everyone after the gap between the release of the first album and [Ella's] as-yet unreleased follow-up".{{cite web |url=https://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/a850834/syco-ella-henderson-parted-ways-x-factor/ |title=X Factor star Ella Henderson has parted ways with Syco four years after 'Ghost' went to No. 1 |website=Digital Spy |last=James |first=Sarah |date=25 February 2018 |access-date=11 March 2022 |archive-date=11 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220311164327/https://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/a850834/syco-ella-henderson-parted-ways-x-factor/ |url-status=live}}
It was later revealed, that Henderson and Syco parted ways in 2017 amidst plans for new music. Henderson would subsequently go on to sign a new deal in 2018 with Major Tom's, a record label owned by British drum and bass band Rudimental and aligned with Asylum Records. Some of the songs from the original studio sessions for a second album under Syco included "Let's Go Home Together" and "Ugly"; these were subsequently brought across for inclusion on Henderson's album after both had been performed for fans on various tours. Other songs such "Bones", "Red Roses" and "Hard to Love" were not included on the album despite being performed during various live performances and shows prior to the development of Everything I Didn't Say.{{cite web |url=https://musicdaily.app/ella-henderson-remains-brave-on-new-single/ |title=Ella Henderson Remains 'Brave' on New Single |website=MusicDaily |last=Barceleta |first=Diane |date=26 January 2022 |access-date=21 March 2022 |archive-date=27 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220127004811/https://musicdaily.app/ella-henderson-remains-brave-on-new-single/ |url-status=live }} At the time, Henderson had been touring with Rudimental which included two sold-out shows at Alexandra Palace.{{cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ella-henderson-signs-new-record-deal-to-rudimentals-major-toms-label__24590/ |title=Ella Henderson signs new record deal to Rudimental's Major Toms label |website=Official Charts Company |last=Copsey |first=Rob |date=31 October 2018 |access-date=12 March 2022 |archive-date=12 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220312160337/https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ella-henderson-signs-new-record-deal-to-rudimentals-major-toms-label__24590/ |url-status=live}}

Everything I Didn't Say is a pop album with elements of country pop, electropop and soul, combining both electronic and traditional instrumentation such as piano and guitar riffs. Everything I Didn't Say explores themes of Henderson's mental health struggles, the time taken between her first and second album, and the vulnerability of heartbreak, love and self-worth.{{cite web |url=https://outnowmagazine.com/ella-henderson-everything-i-didnt-say/ |title=Ella Henderson Releases a New Fantastic Album 'Everything I Didn't Say' |work=Out Now Magazine |author=Kelia |date=14 March 2022 |access-date=14 March 2022 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20220314220246/https://outnowmagazine.com/ella-henderson-everything-i-didnt-say/ |archive-date=14 March 2022 |url-status=live}} In a nutshell, Henderson described the album as "how life has been for [her] transitioning from a teenager into a young woman".
The album opener is a song called "Emotions", an upbeat electropop song written by Henderson and Jordan Riley, with the latter also producing the song. Riley would produce and co-write several other songs on the album. Its energetic vibe was described as "setting the tone for Henderson's return to music". Some of the lyrics have a sad tone, such as the chorus "I'm sick of my emotions" and subsequent lyrics "It's okay not to be okay". This latter lyric was compared to the current "self-care climate" in music, drawing similarities to the song "OK (Anxiety Anthem)" by Mabel (2019) and "OK Not to Be OK", a 2020 collaboration between Marshmello and Demi Lovato. "Emotions" and the song "Out of My Head" are two of the up-tempo moments on the album. Henderson described "Out of My Head" as one of her favourite songs on the album as it dealt with themes of narcissism and needing to write about one of the biggest narcissists she had met.

"Let's Go Home Together" was co-written by fellow The X Factor series nine contestant James Arthur. Originally envisioned as a duet between Arthur and Henderson, the duo performed the song during Arthur's Back from the Edge Tour (2017), for which Henderson was one of the support acts. There were plans for Henderson and Arthur to release the song but over two years neither singers' schedules matched up.{{cite web |url=https://planetradio.co.uk/hits-radio/entertainment/music/james-arthur-medicine/ |title=Hits Radio Breakfast chat to James Arthur about new track 'Medicine' |website=Planet Radio |publisher=Hits Radio |last=Rees |first=Natalie |date=5 March 2021 |access-date=20 March 2022 |archive-date=30 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210330232316/https://planetradio.co.uk/hits-radio/entertainment/music/james-arthur-medicine/ |url-status=live }} Henderson said the song was "so special" and she "kept going back to it", and when asked how Tom Grennan became involved, she said, "Tom and I have been friends for years, I love his voice and I'm so happy we got to do this together." Grennan expressed similar sentiments when he was asked to record the song, "When Ella hit me up and played me this song and then asked me to join her on it, I was absolutely buzzin'. Ella is a good mate, and it's so sick to finally get to sing together!"{{cite web |url=https://celebmix.com/ella-henderson-tom-grennan-drop-lets-go-home-together-video/ |title=Ella Henderson & Tom Grennan drop 'Let's Go Home Together' video |website=celebmix.com |last=Rees |first=Katrina |date=2021 |access-date=20 March 2022 |archive-date=21 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421141535/https://celebmix.com/ella-henderson-tom-grennan-drop-lets-go-home-together-video/ |url-status=live }} Producer Ollie Green worked on producing Grennan's vocals at RAK Studios and The Church in London, UK. The new duet between Henderson and Grennan is, included on Everything I Didn't Say. Speaking about the new version, Henderson said "When we released it, it was a time when everyone just missed going to the pub, you know? It helped remind people that we would be together again and you can actually meet someone in a bar and take them home. Seeing that song resonate felt good, I'm going to lie. I had it with me for such a long time!". The lyrics were described as tongue-in-cheek and playful, while the production was guitar and piano driven.{{cite web |url=https://www.unitedbypop.com/music/videos/ella-henderson-and-tom-grennan-release-lets-go-home-together-music-video/ |title=Ella Henderson And Tom Grennan Release 'Let's Go Home Together Music Video' |website=UnitedByPop.com |last=John-Clement |first=Nina |date=25 February 2021 |access-date=20 March 2022 |archive-date=17 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417212808/https://www.unitedbypop.com/music/videos/ella-henderson-and-tom-grennan-release-lets-go-home-together-music-video/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/230906/9 |title=Ella Henderson And Tom Grennan Team Up For New 'Single Let's Go Home Together' |website=Stereoboard.com |last=Johnson |first=Laura |date=19 March 2022 |access-date=20 March 2022 |archive-date=10 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210310151111/https://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/230906/9 |url-status=live }}
Green also worked with Henderson and Nashville artist Mikky Ekko for the song "Cry on Me", a duet between Henderson and Ekko. The song, along with the single "Brave" were described by the Evening Standard of having themes of "I Will Survive" (akin to the Gloria Gaynor song of the same name). "Brave" has lyrics that speak of "shaking the stigma of needing help and embracing someone's support for you when you need them most".{{cite web |url=https://planetradio.co.uk/hits-radio/entertainment/music/ella-henderson-everything-i-didnt-say/ |title=Ella Henderson drops her emotional second album 'Everything I Didn't Say' |website=Planet Radio (Hit Radio) |last=Hulton |first=Anna Sky |date=11 March 2022 |access-date=13 March 2022 |archive-date=14 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220314214423/https://planetradio.co.uk/hits-radio/entertainment/music/ella-henderson-everything-i-didnt-say/ |url-status=live}} Henderson said that although she wrote the song a few years ago its sentiments really resonated with how she was feeling, "it was therapeutic and I needed it". It was also dedicated to Henderson's friend Paige Dougall who passed away a few days before its release.
The song "Set in Stone" includes the lyric "If we lose ourselves at some point, those memories are set in stone", and was written in the UK during a writer's camp. It was inspired by the producer's personal loss (losing their uncle). Of the song, Henderson said, "we always assume that everything is forever until it comes to an end. We have no control over the end, but what we can control is the present. So we should enjoy every minute we have together and get the most out of it."{{cite web |url=https://www.waltroper-zeitung.de/scenario/ella-henderson-im-interview-wir-sollten-jede-minute-geniessen-w1734163-11000166565/ |title=Ella Henderson im Interview: 'Wir sollten jede Minute genießen' |work={{ill|Waltroper Zeitung|De}} |last=Kurth |first=Lucas |language=German |date=11 March 2022 |access-date=13 March 2022 |archive-date=14 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220314214423/https://www.waltroper-zeitung.de/scenario/ella-henderson-im-interview-wir-sollten-jede-minute-geniessen-w1734163-11000166565/ |url-status=live }} "Ugly" was inspired by an experience Henderson had on holiday and was described as therapeutic for the singer. Having performed the song during live tours, Henderson felt that fans had expected to hear it on a future album and hence it was included on Everything I Didn't Say. Of the song, she said "that came from a situation where I'd gone on a holiday abroad and someone had taken horrible pictures of me. I came home and just stayed in my flat. That song was like a form of therapy for me, it really helped me grow so that had to be on the album". The song sees Henderson singing about embracing her flaws. Other themes explored in the song include "trying to fit in" and being unique.
"Thank You for the Hell", another co-write and production by Riley, is influenced by country pop and tells the story of a situation Henderson went through, reliving all the emotions and toxicity. During an interview with The Rebecca Judd Show on Apple Music, Henderson said of the song, "And this song is when you have gone through the hurt, you've gone through the pain, you've gone through the anger and all these emotions." It discusses the silver lining and Henderson's gratefulness for the situation as it helped her to become the person she is today.{{cite web |url=https://www.irishnews.com/magazine/entertainment/2022/03/15/news/ella-henderson-reflects-on-silver-lining-of-breakups-after-new-album-release-2615622/ |title=Ella Henderson reflects on 'silver lining' of breakups after new album release |work=The Irish News |date=15 March 2022 |access-date=15 March 2022 |archive-date=20 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320162930/https://www.irishnews.com/magazine/entertainment/2022/03/15/news/ella-henderson-reflects-on-silver-lining-of-breakups-after-new-album-release-2615622/ |url-status=live}} In a similar vein, Henderson wrote the title track with producer Mike Kintish, having already decided to call the album Everything I Didn't Say before the song of the same name's conception. Speaking about the piano-led title song, Henderson said, "I loved the idea of creating a piano-led ballad that was coming from the perspective of your own wrongdoings and actually admitting and owning up to your own mistakes within a relationship." Henderson further elaborated that the process for this song felt refreshing due to the vulnerability that comes from "being honest and vulnerable".
Title and packaging
During production for the album, a working title of Chapter Two was considered; it would have made Henderson's second album a direct continuation and sequel to her debut album, Chapter One (2014). During an interview in the run-up to the release of the album, Henderson told the Official Charts Company why she decided against the sequential titles, saying "I wrote Chapter One in 18 months when I was a teenager. This isn't just Chapter Two. This is a whole book! I didn't want to trap myself [in the naming of albums]. I'd be releasing Chapter 85 in my 80s, and no-one wants to see that." During an album listening party with fans and Deezer, Henderson said that she had also considered calling the album Northern Lights, after another song on the album, but was worried that fans would think it was about the Northern Lights. During the naming process, Henderson reflected that she spoke a lot of "word vomit" and the album was heavily focused on lyrics. On reflection, "the album is my truth, everything I wanted to say" which led to the title Everything I Didn't Say.{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddgSk_9DGdQ |title=Ella Henderson - Album Party with Fans |website=YouTube |author1=Deezer |author2=Henderson, Ella |date=2 April 2022 |access-date=5 April 2022 |archive-date=2 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220402105537/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddgSk_9DGdQ |url-status=live }} Henderson later revealed that she had settled on the title before deciding to create a song that would be titled after the album.{{cite web |url=https://www.digitaljournal.com/entertainment/interview-ella-henderson-talks-about-everything-i-didnt-say-song-and-album/article |title=ENTERTAINMENTInterview: Ella Henderson talks about 'Everything I Didn't Say' song and album |website=Digital Journey |last=Papadatos |first=Markos |date=29 March 2022 |access-date=23 May 2022 |archive-date=21 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220421234121/https://www.digitaljournal.com/entertainment/interview-ella-henderson-talks-about-everything-i-didnt-say-song-and-album/article |url-status=live }}

Evening Standard{{'}}s David Smyth praised Henderson's "still might voice" and "vulnerability" across the record, calling songs like "Brave" and "Cry On Me" anthems but remarked that the "mature pop sound" might not be "enough to carve out her own space in crowded territory" but regardless, "plenty of people will be rooting for her to succeed again". Writing for Riff Magazine, Domenic Strazzabosco gave the album a positive review, complimenting Henderson's vocals, saying "Everything I Didn't Say retains the strong vocal work that brought her to attention in the first place. But that's balanced with a more mature production style and lyrical outlook on what cards life can deal you". Strazzabosco also praised the songwriting, concluding that "Henderson taking her time to compose her second record, she effectively avoids a sophomore slump by putting her vocals at the forefront and reminding us why we first paid attention to her 10 years ago."{{cite web |url=https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/ella-henderson-everything-i-didnt-say/ |title=Album Review: Ella Henderson returns with 'Everything I Didn't Say' |website=Riff Magazine |last=Strazzabosco |first=Dominic |date=7 March 2022 |access-date=12 March 2022 |archive-date=9 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220309120943/https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/ella-henderson-everything-i-didnt-say/ |url-status=live}}
