Product Information

On 27 January, the I Will Never Let You Down singer released her infectious pop single, You Only Love Me. One person tweeted : “RITA ORA PERFORMING IN HEAVEN IS THE PLOT TWIST I NEVER SAW COMING!!!! MY F**KING HEEEAAARRT.” Learning to let go of the past to make way for new experiences is a deeply personal process, and one I felt compelled to document through my music – the journey was not always easy, but I’ve come out of it stronger and filled with more love than I ever thought possible.” I cannot believe. Rita Ora. Was at Heaven. @romincatboy @jazzy_layla_ why couldn’t this have happened when we went

It’s incredibly hard to not be swayed when you see things being written every day,” said Ora. “It’s almost like because it’s written in the papers it must be the truth. But you have to remember there’s a lot of people that you might be listening to or that you watch on TV that have immigrant roots.” Get the latest news and insight into how the Big Issue magazine is made by signing up for the Inside Big Issue newsletter With its dance-pop production and heartfelt lyrics, You Only Love Me expertly showcases the talented singer’s growth as an artist and songwriter. Pop star Rita Ora has ushered in her new music era with a jaw-dropping performance at Heaven Nightclub.Of all the Rita Ora tunes ranked here, RIP takes the title of being the first song I’d ever heard by Rita Ora. And you know what? It still bangs. Tinie and Rita have great chemistry, and whilst it’s very of the time you can’t help but feel a bit nostalgic for this early 10s sound in British pop. 13. Lonely Together (with Avicii) There was a time when Anywhere was my most streamed song on Spotify of all time. OF ALL TIME. I loved this song with every fibre of my being. The choppy instrumental chorus breakdown? I truly believed pop music had peaked. I campaigned hard to get this song to win the Popjustice Music Prize of which I have judged on many times – and I got my wish. Do I still love it as much now? No, I think it’s aged like curdled milk on a hot summer’s day. But I still have a soft spot for it and think it deserves a top 10 placement. 8. For You (with Liam Payne)

With You Only Love Me and my upcoming album, I wanted to capture the vulnerability I’ve experienced as I opened myself up to love and entered a new phase of life,” she said. As a way to usher in her sure-to-be iconic new music era, Ora surprised fans at Heaven Nightclub with an electric performance on 28 January.

Songs on Albums

Ora and her family fled their native Kosovo in 1991 amid ethnic tensions and violence as the former Yugoslavia disintegrated and thousands of displaced people sought refuge in the UK and other countries. I know, I know. We all have sampling fatigue. Every pop song under the sun in the last few years has heavily sampled a dance classic from the 90s or 00s. I said I was done with it, but then Rita Ora dropped the Praise You sampling banger Praising You – a monster banger that should have been number one from the moment it released earlier this year and still should be in the top five right now. The chorus speaks for itself, but her lyricism is so much fun and the melody on the verse scratches my ear in the most delicious way. Justice for Praising You. 4. How We Do (Party) Rita Ora has discussed her experiences as a refugee and the importance of positive refugee stories, in an exclusive interview in this week’s Big Issue in which she and DJ/producer Norman ‘Fatboy Slim’ Cook, discuss their new collaboration, Praising You, an update of Cook’s classic Praise You. Rita, it’s me” coos Taika Waititi at the start of You Only Love Me, the muted lead single from Rita’s not even a week old third studio album You & I. I call it muted because this song has pretty much zero wow factor, but still manages to have milked at least 50 streams out of me this year and that simply must count for something. Generic but great in equal measure. Give Taika a verse next time you cowards! 11. Don’t Think Twice

And on top of that, make music. I say to myself every day, I’m so fortunate and so grateful. I know I deserve it because I work really hard. But there’s a lot of kids like me from where I’m from that it doesn’t really happen for. So I never take it for granted.”
