Celeste Marie Wilson’s new single “Ever Wanted” feels like cracking open a high school yearbook and finding the exact moment your heart first flipped over someone — but with way better lighting and a sparkling pop-rock soundtrack. It’s youthful, sweet, a little dramatic (in the best way), and absolutely bursting with the butterflies of young love.
Before we even get into the song, Wilson’s story is already the kind of plot twist Hollywood dreams of. At 19, she was on track to publish a children’s book — until the deal fell apart. But that heartbreak ultimately became the door she never knew she needed. With a poetry background already in her pocket, she turned to songwriting… and found her true calling by accident. Fast-forward to now: she’s an award-winning songwriter celebrated everywhere from the Texas State Songwriters Championship to the Hollywood Independent Music Awards. It’s giving “meant to be.”
“Ever Wanted” captures all that spark, charm, and emotional honesty she’s become known for. The track dances between rock glow and pop shimmer — the kind of vibe straight off a late-2000s coming-of-age movie soundtrack. Wilson taps into the narrator’s whirlwind crush with that perfect mix of hesitation and heart-racing desire. She wants him. Badly. But she can’t say it. Not when he’s all rosy cheeks, golden light, and everything she’s ever dreamed of.
Her vocals rise and fall with the story — tender when nerves take over, powerful when the truth breaks through. And then comes the cinematic twist: he feels the same. He sees her the way she sees him. It’s the romcom moment you root for, and she nails it.
The music video brings the fairytale to life in full prom-night nostalgia. With Cold Creek Productions behind the lens again, Wilson floats through the scene in a sparkling blue dress, surrounded by shy couples and shimmering lights. You can almost smell the punch bowl and hear the squeak of rented dress shoes. When her crush finally takes her hand and leads her to the dance floor, it’s pure magic — the kind that makes you grin at your screen.
“Ever Wanted” is Celeste Marie Wilson at her brightest: storytelling with heart, vocals with depth, and a fearless embrace of vulnerability. It feels like the start of a brand new chapter — one where she’s ready to dance straight into whatever comes next.
‘Ever Wanted’ is a cinematic pop-rock gem that proves she’s one of the most compelling storytellers of her generation
